Our memorial maintenance plan includes:
- Regular inspections ensuring time and nature have not damaged the memorial
- Twice yearly cleaning to remove dirt, algae and lichen that can stain and damage an untended stone
- Any memorial found to have subsidence will be rectified
Although normal wear and tear of masonry isn’t covered (for example when weathering brings an inscription to the end of its life), signing up to a memorial maintenance plan will not only slow this process down, but will also provide you with regular inspections that will alert you to any work needed before costs escalate.
Any memorial which is less than 18 months old, or is already in good condition can be added to a maintenance plan straight away. For older memorials, or those in a poorer condition, we will supply an estimate for any initial repairs (if required) to return the memorial to good condition.
Following each inspection, a photo can be provided on request. We currently provide this service for some 15,000 memorials, which are cleaned by a number of internal dedicated skilled stone masons.
