Our Background

We are part of the long-established memorial business C P Holland & Sons, and Headstone Restorations focuses solely on the care of existing memorials: cleaning, lettering restoration, grave chippings and wider restoration work.

Every memorial is different. Stone type, finish, age and condition all affect what can realistically be achieved, so we assess each one individually and recommend only the work we believe is appropriate.

  • Experienced memorial masons, not general cleaners
  • Specialist knowledge of stone types and lettering
  • Respectful, unhurried, family-run service
  • A clear quotation before any work begins
  • Honest advice when restoration is not worthwhile

How We Work

Restoring a memorial is as much about how the work is handled as the finish itself.

Respect First

We work quietly, carefully and tidily in churchyards and cemeteries, always mindful that other families may be visiting while we are there.

Proper Memorial Masonry

Cleaning and lettering restoration are carried out using methods suited to the stone. We do not use a one-size-fits-all pressure-washing approach that could cause lasting damage.

Honest Assessment

If we believe a memorial cannot be improved significantly, we will say so. We would rather turn work down than accept payment for a result that may disappoint.

No Pressure

There is no hard sell and no pressure to decide quickly. Take the quotation away, consider your options and come back to us whenever you are ready.
