In all cases,
great care is taken in matching the new to the old. Where brickwork
has become defective we can install new bricks or repair spalled bricks
with a special mortar coloured to match the adjacent brickwork.
Marble provides
us with one of the most attractive mediums used in buildings. With no
two pieces alike, there are many alternatives for its use. Whilst it
is one of the most beautiful natural materials, it can also become easily
damaged when treated incorrectly. Therefore, we also have a variety
of treatments for it. A specially formulated paste is used on lighter
coloured marble; once applied it draws out deeply ingrained grime. Once
this is achieved, the paste is then completely removed and a neutralizing
solution is sponged on. Then finally it is polished to a pristine condition.
On darker varieties we use fine grade carborundum discs combined with
a felt pad to add the final touch. As with brick and stonework, regular
maintenance should be carried out.
In addition
to cleaning and restoration services, we can offer various forms of
protection such as water-proofing or applying stone textured coatings.
