Monument Cleaning & Protection
Even war memorials are not safe from the ravages of time or the vandal’s spray can
Many of these monuments feature various materials such as stone, bronze and sand stone.
Our picture show the main Cenotaph in Wolverhampton that each November is the focus of the city centre’s Remembrance Day services.
SCT were called in to remove profanities that had not only been sprayed on the monument itself but also the slabs that form the path around the edifice.
As the material was very soft we utilised a variety of techniques mindful that making the monument look too clean by removing the city dirt and patina would rob it of its aesthetic value.
So pleased was he with the results that the Lord Mayor himself contacted our employer – Wolverhampton City Council – to congratulate the team on the work.
We were pleased to play a part in restoring the monument in time for the service.
