We recently completed a beautiful memorial restoration in Braunton at St Brannock's Church, bringing this historic Welsh slate headstone back to its former dignity.

our team carefully refitted the stone using a modern anchor system to ensure long-term stability and safety. The Welsh slate memorial was then gently cleaned and the lettering professionally repainted, restoring the clarity and appearance of the original inscription.

As part of the restoration, we also supplied and fitted a new wedge shaped tablet made from matching Welsh slate, allowing the memorial to continue commemorating the family while remaining in keeping with the original design and character of the stone.

Welsh slate is a beautiful and long-lasting material, and with careful restoration it can continue to honour loved ones for generations to come.

If you have a memorial in need of restoration, cleaning, re-lettering or stabilising, our team is always happy to offer advice.

We recently completed the installation of this beautiful Welsh slate memorial in Pinhoe, Devon.

This headstone features a classic half round top, elegant half ogee shoulders, and a carefully crafted moulded edge with stop chamfers, giving it a timeless and dignified appearance. Welsh slate is known for its durability, rich natural colour and long lasting quality, making it a wonderful choice for a lasting tribute.

As you can see, the ground is still quite muddy and wet after the winter months, but with spring on its way the surrounding grass will soon settle and enhance the overall setting.

Memorial Restoration and BS 8415 Safety Upgrade

We recently completed a full memorial restoration, including professional stone cleaning and replacement of missing lead lettering, restoring this headstone to its original dignity.

As part of the project, the memorial required upgrading to meet current British Standard BS 8415 for memorial stability and safety.

Because the headstone was only 2 inches thick, a traditional ground anchor was not suitable. We installed a Mechanical Lockdown System, also known as a bolt-down fixing system.

This system uses a stainless steel sleeve fitted through the flower container hole, with a bolt anchoring it directly into the concrete foundation. This provides a secure mechanical fixing that prevents movement should the joint deteriorate over time. we also added as part of the restoration, a stainless steel anchor bar through the foundation, as well as a set of stainless steel dowls.

The result is a fully restored and BS 8415 compliant memorial, ensuring long-term safety and peace of mind for the family.

If you are concerned about memorial stability, headstone safety inspections, ground anchor systems, or restoration work, we are here to help.
