Restoration (adding new fabric, as opposed to solely conserving existing), can be an important part of conservation, as well as desirable to some clients in terms of reconstructing lost historic features.
Skillingtons can offer restoration services as well as repair and conservation treatments, because we understand how the introduction of honest new or reclaimed elements can complete an aesthetic vision.
We also understand how important new elements can be to the structural stability and survival of historic fabric, and know how to skilfully and seamlessly introduce vital new elements to help preserve what was there before. We can offer reconstruction in stone, brick, plaster, ceramics and other materials.
