The Memorial Specialist

Memorial Renovations

Sensitive restoration to clean, repair, re-gild and re-level headstones across Rochdale, Bury, Bolton, Oldham, Clitheroe & Greater Manchester.

Over time, even the finest memorials can show signs of weathering. At The Memorial Specialist, our stonemasons restore memorials with care and respect—bringing back legibility, stability and dignity while preserving original character.

  • Repainting & re-gilding inscriptions — gold leaf, enamel or paint restored to match the original.
  • Re-levelling & re-fixing — resetting memorials that have become unstable or uneven.
  • Re-polishing marble & granite — restores sheen and reduces surface marks.
  • Damage repairs — sympathetic crack, chip and break repairs with colour-matched materials.
