Renovation / Maintenance

When a memorial is to be renovated it is always necessary for one of our experienced staff to inspect the memorial before the work commences. We are then able to compile a report of all the work that will be needed in order to restore the memorial to its original condition.

The following prices are, therefore, a guide to the costs that may be involved. However, each enquiry will be dealt with individually and priced accordingly.

Our estimates are free of charge and our clients are under no obligation to accept them.

The methods used to create a cut, drilled and lead filled letter mean it is often not possible to replace just one or two letters. The process involved may lead to the loosening or misshaping of letters already present.

Memorial Interiors

The centres of many memorials are often filled with soil for planting. Families may move away and it can become difficult for them to maintain this area of the memorial. Our memorial staff are able to excavate the existing centre and lay any of the following in place of the soil:

Grey granite chippings on concrete chipping bed £176.25

White marble chippings on concrete chipping bed (note these can be prone to staining) £193.88

Green, Cobalt, Blue, Turquoise or White fossite chippings £211.50

Maintenance

Where families have moved away or the upkeep of a grave is physically too difficult, we offer maintenance agreements on a 5 year contract basis. The memorial is visited twice a year, chemically cleaned, tidied around, levelled, joints re-pointed, photographed and a report made out on the condition of the memorial.

Please contact us if interested in taking out a maintenance agreement.
