STONE CASTING - LADYWELL
The decorative stone around this bay window had mostly cracked and failed. The pillars were split and out of vertical, lintels had failed and there was a lot of erosion to circular block detail and drip rails. Most elements required recasting . This involves constructing bespoke moulds and hand casting on site.
