Cylindrical Bay RESTORED
This is Victorian stonework at it’s finest: cigarette paper-thin joints,, perfect mouldings and beautiful craftsmanship throughout. However, on closer inspection the stonework was in a pretty frightful state. 2 of the large window sills on the first storey had eroded and cracked.

Poor repairs to a structural pillar – shoddy and dangerous

The Restoration
We worked 2 new sills and numerous indents throughout the building. It was quite a labour-intensive project, but very enjoyable.
Indents – square spaces made for accurate replacement with new stone
