Natural stone can be expensive
to replace so reconstituted stone is often an effective and relatively
inexpensive alternative. A reconstituted stone repair requires considerable
experience on the part of the craftsman as sufficient stone, but
no more than necessary, has to be cut back to make a good repair.
Reinforcement is then carried out with non-ferrous metals and anchored
to the sound stonework. The reconstituted stone can then be applied,
taking great care to ensure the mix is of a similar density to the
existing natural stone. It is then built up to the required thickness
and finished with a wooden float to give a natural texture to the
repair.
Skill and experience is essential to ensure that the repair does
not dry out too quickly and that the original lines of mouldings
are followed. Quadriga employs skilled craftsmen and operate a hands
on training scheme for trainees to ensure the craft continues with
the same attention to detail.
