War Memorials Stone Edge are consulted each year by local councils and parishes around the country, to give advice on the correct cleaning and conservation methods for their local war memorials. In recent years, we have unfortunately had to hand carve the names of soldiers fallen in modern conflicts around the world. This brings home to us all the sacrifice our service men and women have made. 2014 saw the centenary for the First World War, and Stone Edge were busy nationwide assisting with specifications for the conservation of our nations war memorial stock.
Our works include: • Consultation & procurement of specification. • Masonry cleaning. • Repair of stone, repointing & re-carving of names. • New & refurbished metalwork. • Restoration and conservation.
