Restoration & Renovation

Restoration and renovation are key aspects of the services we offer at Edgington Stone Memorials. Each memorial has its own story, and over time, these stories can fade under the impact of natural elements and passing time. Our restoration services aim to revitalise these lasting tributes, bringing them back to their original glory.

Sometimes, the restoration process requires us to remove the memorial from its site in the cemetery or churchyard. This is undertaken with the utmost respect and care, understanding the importance and sensitivity of each stone. Furthermore, we recognise that older memorials may not meet today’s safety standards and may require additional measures such as the installation of new ground anchors, dowels, or foundations to ensure stability and safety. We are fully equipped and prepared to carry out these necessary improvements.

Our comprehensive restoration services cover a wide range of techniques to rejuvenate your loved one’s memorial. We can re-paint, grind off damage or reshape the stone, add new parts to the memorial, or clean it using specialised chemicals and tools to restore its original sheen and character.

When it comes to re-inscribing, we offer both computer-cut and hand-cut options. The computer-cut approach involves sandblasting and painting the letters, while the hand-cut method entails carving letters by hand, which can be left unpainted or painted, depending on your preference.

At Edgington Stone Memorials, we see every restoration as an opportunity to breathe new life into a cherished memorial, ensuring it continues to serve as a durable, beautiful tribute to your loved one’s memory.
