Monuments in churchyards and cemeteries range in form, scale and conservation requirements. Skillingtons understands the need for structural stability on health-and-safety grounds, and can inspect any monument. It can also conserve and repair monuments of any size, whether in stone, metal, brick, or terracotta.
We have conserved monuments in churchyards around the country and in cemeteries including London’s ‘big five’, such as Brompton Cemetery.
We can also inspect and conserve vaults, mausolea, other churchyard and cemetery buildings and boundary walls. We also conserve War Memorials and Public Sculpture.
