Tributes to the fallen, war memorials are found all across the world and mark many different conflicts, including the two world wars at the start of the last century. Our most experience Stone Brickster understands the importance of war memorials, their construction and how they’re being maintained today for future generations.

What is a War Memorial?

War memorials are erected to commemorate those who died in a war, to record a victory or particular battle. The sheer variety of war memorials types found across the world is testament to their importance in reflecting the feelings of the different communities and organisations that had them erected. They come in many forms including whole buildings or building components (such as a commemorative window), monuments, sculptures, gardens and designed landscapes, shrines of remembrance.

How does Stoneagebulders maintain War Memorials?

Although conservation is approached in a pragmatic way according to these policies, Our war memorials still require essential maintenance and sometimes far more extensive repair projects. 

Each memorial has unique challenges. All of our changes try to stay as close to the original design as possible, including using original materials. Some of our latest projects are:

Minor repairs and maintenance, such as repointing.. We do major Restoration project, of works to roofs, main brick arch areas and also restoring internal drainage, brick facades and paving. We can also secure the foundations, carry out masonry repairs and improve drainage.
