Quadriga were employed to rebuild the gate pier to the Headmaster’s House at Malvern College in Worcestershire using a mix of new and existing stone.  It’s vital to match any new stone to the original, for aesthetics, historical accuracy and to ensure longevity.

Work included:

• Supply and install new Wood Kirk detailed stone cap
• Take down what remained of the existing gate pier and set aside salvaged stone for re-use
• Re-build the pier from the existing foundations, using existing stone where possible and replacing damaged stone with new Wood Kirk sandstone, cut and carved the match the original
• Re-hang the timber gate using existing bracketry
