Different methods are used to achieve the maximum amount of repairs to the fabric with a minimum cost.

All restoration is carried out by highly skilled craftsmen, who remove all the friable, eroded stonework down to the required depth, important in any satisfactory repair.
Reinforcement, where required, is carried out in conjunction with the cutting out process.
