War memorials are both historic monuments and emotive focal points for communities today. Skillingtons, as expert conservators, know how to care for their historic fabric at the same time as appreciating their functions in modern-day remembrance.
Our conservators can ensure their structural stability, preserve their details in stone, brick, metal and other materials, and enhance their legibility through expert letter cutting, painting and gilding.
We use sympathetic materials and traditional techniques to ensure that preservation of the historic fabric of the monuments is paramount.
