The United Kingdom is blessed with an abundance of beautiful stone buildings and monuments. Phidias Neo-Classical brings damaged stonework back to its prime by combining millennia-old traditional skills with state-of-the-art production equipment, lime mortar precision, and non-destructive cleaning.
Throughout the 17th, 18th, and 19th Centuries, sovereign, aristocratic, and government commissions built the landmarks that characterise our national heritage. Although built to last, all stonework eventually requires preservation.
Whether stonework has suffered from weathering, neglect, or poor management, Phidias Neo-Classical has the generational lineage and tooling to execute comprehensive conservation schemes.
Our skills have been handed down through generations of the same family. We combine these foundational skills with modern stone production equipment and materials to ensure every completed restoration lasts longer than ever before.
Stone is a living, breathing material that suffers from age. Using aggressive abrasive methods can cause irreversible damage like crumbling, spalling, and core splitting.
Approved Standards: Phidias uses specialist JOS TORC and DOFF cleaning systems, which are mandatory for historic projects under the auspices of Historic England and CADW.
A showcase of historic restorations, stone consolidation, architectural carvings, and structural replacements.
Precision low-pressure vortex and superheated steam technology designed for listed landmarks and monuments.
The JOS TORC system features a precision revolving nozzle that generates a gentle swirling vortex of water, air, and fine granulate powder. This swirling action cleans efficiently at ultra-low pressures without scouring delicate masonry faces.
The DOFF system superheats a standard water supply up to 150°C at the nozzle head. It cleans using high-temperature thermal vapour rather than abrasive impact, eradicating deep biological spores safely.
From major ecclesiastical restoration schemes to precision sculpture repairs.
