From Urgent Survey to Restoration
DSR’s involvement with this project began with an urgent call regarding a piece of falling masonry. What initially appeared to be a minor issue quickly revealed the need for a more comprehensive approach. DSR’s thorough survey work highlighted the extent of the necessary repairs, leading to a full restoration project encompassing the building’s main elevations.
The Challenge
The primary challenge was to restore the elevations to their former glory while maintaining the building’s historical integrity. This required a delicate balance between repairing damaged areas and preserving the original character of the façade. The goal was to achieve a seamless finish where the repairs were indistinguishable from the original stonework.
Expert Craftsmanship and Careful Cleaning
DSR employed a range of specialised techniques to address the various issues identified in the survey. Stone indents were meticulously crafted and installed to replace damaged sections, ensuring a perfect match in terms of material and appearance. Our team of skilled masons carried out extensive restoration work, carefully repairing and preserving the existing stonework. Finally, a sympathetic cleaning process was employed to remove dirt and grime without damaging the delicate surfaces, revealing the building’s original beauty.
A Seamless Transformation
The success of this project is evident in the seamless integration of the repairs. Upon completion, it was remarkably difficult to identify where any restoration work had been carried out. This is a testament to DSR’s commitment to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. The restored elevations now stand as a testament to the building’s history, enhanced by DSR’s expertise.
