Quadriga

Terracotta and Faience Restoration

When it comes to special media like terracotta and faience, Quadriga has the technology and skills to restore or repair using a variety of methods, either working insitu or by supplying and fixing new material.

Any conservation project demands meticulous planning and research and working with clays and plasters such as terracotta and faience is no different.

The failure of terracotta and faience facades is frequently due to iron or steel reinforcement behind the surface which has inadequate protection from the weak mix clinker concrete surrounding it. Water penetration through the joints and the resulting expansion and corrosion will crack the terracotta or faience blocks and lead to still more decay. Injection resins behind the face can fill the voids, strengthen the mortar fill, re-bond the blocks and often save costly cutting out and replacement.

We ensure that the work we do is primarily of high quality, professional and cost effective. Contact us NOW on 0808 100 3777 to discuss how we can help you.
