Restoration and Refurbishment

Jonathan Hedge - Stone Carver

http://www.carvinginstone.co.uk/



Jonathan Hedge specialises in "carvings for private and public sculptural commissions in various types of stone for restoration, contemporary sculpture, design and landscape features". The site is understandably centred around a portfolio, featuring excellent quality images of Hedge's work. Visitors can click on the thumbnails to view individual pieces, or take advantage of the slide show provided. Many of the carvings, it has to be said, are quite stunning. A helpful links page includes well-chosen links to stone, landscape, architecture and artist-related sites. [GAS, 19 Oct 2006].

London Mosaic Restoration

http://www.londonmosaicrestoration.co.uk/



London Mosaic Restoration describes itself as "specialising in the restoration and installation of period and contemporary mosaics". The company's site has been recently redesigned, and benefits from some additional content as well as a more user-friendly interface. A searchable 'Products' section features items for sale, including salvaged tiles and products to maintain floors, while an illustrated 'Services' page covers the company's expertise in restoration, new installation and salvage. Meanwhile, the 'Gallery' section looks at recent work undertaken by the firm, and a 'Links' page offers a small but well-chosen list of related sites. [GAS, 3 Jun 2006].

US Heritage Group - Masonry Preservation and Lime Mortar

http://www.usheritage.com/




According to the site, "US Heritage Group makes available the products and services necessary to ensure that your historic mortar is properly identified, produced, and installed". The site obviously provides information about the company's products and services, but is also rich in useful resources relating to historic mortar and masonry restoration. The front page includes introductory information about lime mortar (or lime putty); features elsewhere on the site include a well-illustrated section covering recent projects; selected articles from 'Traditional Masonry' magazine; and images from the company's Historic Masonry Workshop events. The site itself is attractively designed and well laid-out. An excellent example of how a commercial site can also be valuable resource, awarded a Sapling Commendation. [GAS, 6 Mar 2006].
