Stone Edge Joins SPAB In The Fight To Save Hstoric Buildings

Online, December 17, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Stone Edge has become a member of a national society that fights to save old buildings.

The move further demonstrates Stone Edge's commitment to the conservation of historic structures.

The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) is the largest, oldest and national pressure group fighting to save old buildings from decay, demolition and damage.

It also has a statutory role as an adviser to local planning authorities, where listed buildings are to be totally or partially demolished.

Through the organisation, thousands of historic buildings survive which would have fallen into disrepair without its help.

As a new member of SPAB, Stone Edge will support the society in this fight, offering help when it's needed and resistance when alarmed.

SPAB helps its member's to further expand their knowledge and understanding of building conservation.

Richard Denneny, of Stone Edge, said: "We are proud to become a member of such a prestigious organisation passionate about keeping Britain's history alive.

"Stone Edge shares the organisation's principles of how old buildings should be repaired using the application of practical knowledge."

SPAB is involved in all aspects of the survival of historic buildings.

Misguided repair can be extremely destructive to these structures. Simply making old buildings look newer cannot preserve them alone.

Like SPAB, Stone Edge has a passion for historical building conservation. It treats all its projects with respect and caution.

Since these buildings are some of the most important in Britain, specialists who are passionate about stone masonry should carry out the work.

Working very hard to ensure the UK's historic buildings are preserved, Stone Edge carries out regular maintenance and long term planning to slow down the rate of deterioration.

After doing a huge amount of research on the buildings, the company's team of stonemasons copy each precise detail so they can be replicated.

Many prestigious landmarks have been restored including St Paul's Church, St Anne's Clock Tower and Lloyds Bank.

Stone Edge is one of UK's leading historic building restoration companies.

Operating throughout the UK, with offices in London and Nelson, Lancashire, Stone Edge offers a full range of conservation building repairs services, for both the public and private sector.

Safety is a top priority at Stone Edge and all work includes rigorous safety systems.

Services include stone cleaning and repairs as well as general stone masonry work.
