Headstone Cleaning

Regular cleaning is often required for your loved one’s memorial, particularly older memorials and porous stones such as Marble, Sandstone, Portland and York Stone as they suffer more from the effects of time and exposure to the elements. Various techniques can be used to leave the memorial looking almost new and retain the original lettering. Many clients will use our cleaning service as an opportunity to refresh the existing lettering with new paint or gold leaf.

Professional Renovation & Repairs

With some very old memorials where the stone and lettering are naturally worn from weathering, a standard cleaning procedure may not be suitable. In this situation we would suggest ‘re-facing’ the stone and re-lettering it. This will leave the memorial looking like new and with ongoing maintenance it will continue to look beautiful for many years to come.
Occasionally repair work may need to be carried out or perhaps a stone is leaning and needs to be reset with new foundations. Please call or email our experienced staff who will discuss your options in more detail.

Maintenance Programme

We offer on-going maintenance contracts to ensure your memorial is kept in pristine condition.
Your memorial will be cleaned annually and lettering maintained. This is an optional service but is something that should be considered, particularly for those where distance or attendance is an issue.
