MARBLE CROSS RESTORATION

Marble cleaning, inscription re-leading and re-insallation

This client approached us regarding the cleaning and restoration of his family memorial.

We carried out a site survey and discovered that not only was the memorial in need of thoroughly cleaning, and some of the inscription in need of re-leading, the marble memorial was extremely loose and would have to be dismantled and re-fixed using the NAMM ground anchor system.

Once the memorial was dismantled, it was cleaned and some of the inscription had the lead replaced.

The repaired and renovated marble memorial was then re-erected.

As you can seen from the photograph, the memorial looks like new, and needless to say, the client was delighted!

Damage typically is due to weathering - sunbake, the and action of water and ice, lead lettering curling, tilting caused by ground resettling. Rarely but sadly repairs are required due to vandalism and accidental damage.
