Restoration & Cleaning

Thompson Memorials have a huge wealth of experience in the restoration and renovation of all types of monuments and cemetery grave memorials. Our experienced staff are well equipped to undertake replacement, rebuild or modernisation of any type of structure that has fallen into a state of disrepair. Depending on the nature of the deterioration, different techniques may be used.  Sometimes, techniques that would be perfectly safe for a modern granite memorial would further destroy an old monument. We have been commissioned to restore entire family plots, re-erect large fallen monuments, straighten and secure large leaning monuments. 

We undertake any restoration – no job is too big or small
