Unfortunately, it is a sad fact that ‘shoddy workmen’ without the proper training in handling historic stonework and leadwork can actually make the situation worse. Whilst you would expect us to say that, we sadly have all too often been called out to fix a botched job by other companies claiming to offer historic building restoration but really can’t.
