Re-levelling & Re-fixing

Memorial Re-levelling & Re-fixing

If a memorial has shifted or looks unstable, we check the stone, base and ground before recommending a repair — anywhere in East & West Sussex.

Checking a memorial's alignment.

How it works

Three Simple Steps

Show us the memorial

Send a photograph showing the whole memorial and the area around its base.

We check what has moved

We assess the stone, foundation, fixings and ground before recommending the work.

Review the proposed work

We explain the repair and quote before anything is arranged.

The repair

Checking the Memorial and Its Base

A visible lean doesn't show whether the problem lies in the stone, its fixings or the ground beneath it. We check each part before deciding what the repair needs to involve.

Checking alignment

The stone's position and stability are checked.

Checking the base

The foundation and fixings matter as much as the visible lean.

Before the repair

What We Need to Check First

Position and movement

How far the memorial has moved and whether the stone is stable.

Foundation and ground

The condition of the base and ground supporting the memorial.

Existing fixings

Whether fixings or mortar have failed and need to be replaced.

Site access

How the memorial can be reached and safely lifted if needed.

A stable result

More Than Making the Stone Look Straight

Where needed, we remove failed fixings or deteriorated mortar and prepare the base. We then reset the memorial with suitable fixings and check its alignment and stability before leaving.

Work follows BS 8415 and the NAMM Code of Working Practice

Your Next Step

If the base can be kept
