REPLICATION AND
RESTORATION:
ARCHITECTURAL
CHILSTONE
Over our long history working with cast stone, we have become industry-leaders in
replication and restoration work, in both garden ornaments and architectural stone.
This side of the business can add value and character to your property, whether that is
your dream home, or a public, or commercial building needing that wow factor. Cast
stone is more adaptable than quarried stone because it is easier to mould in order to
replicate historical features and modern design style.
The Chilstone range of window and door surrounds, cornices and quoins are handfinished to accentuate fine detailing. We can create made-to-measure moulds to
reproduce multiple copies, suitable for large building projects. This service is also
helpful for replacing original architectural features, such as window surrounds, or
broken sections of balustrading.
We are highly regarded for our ability to cast moulds from an adjacent property.
This blends your home or business harmoniously in its setting or matches it in with
the neighbours, which is important in the case of traditional period terraces or stylised
streets where one property has been unsympathetically modified or damaged over
time. Whether classical or contemporary in style, we can copy existing stonework, or
design new stonework to compliment the local architecture. Our colour match service is
invaluable for new extensions or for softening new builds in classical, period locations.

We have helped many clients to improve their homes rather than move. We’ve even
used old sepia photographs to revive the history of a building, restoring a once lost
feature.
Our stone is popular with architects and builders as it can be made with hollow
sections to conceal wiring or to incorporate steal reinforcements.
We offer a number of services to our clients that combine function with style to
increase the value of your property, such as our range of stylish, columned porticos.
Porticos transform your front door into a statement feature and provide cover from the
weather. We can also recommend planters to flank the columns to create a beautiful,
impressive entrance.
Whether your project is traditional or modern, our team of highly experienced staff
will be able to advise you in detail and provide free CAD drawings. We can liaise
directly with your architect or project manager, guaranteeing the best products are
delivered on-time with ease. They can show you past construction projects, so you
can be inspired and gauge what is right for you. Please give us a call.
