Restoration
Headstones
As time passes, existing memorials may loosen, become stained, discoloured, and the lettering may fade or even start to deteriorate. At Rotherham Memorial Company, we offer restoration services to return your memorial to its original condition. Our skilled team specialises in renovating headstones, kerb sets, cremation tablets, and other memorial accessories, regardless of the material—whether it's granite, marble, or stone.
Threaded Dowels
These safety fixings securely connect the memorial head to its base, adhering to NAMM specifications. Holes are drilled into both the depth of the memorial base and the memorial head, which are subsequently filled with cement. This cement binds around the threaded dowels for a secure fixing.
Foundations
As a standard practice, all memorials are affixed to a Terrazzo foundation, which can be customised to any size or specification. Whether it's to elevate the memorial or provide additional support, these foundations serve their purpose well. Alternatively, you have the option to upgrade to a Granite foundation. Offering superior quality compared to concrete-based materials, Granite provides not only essential structural support but also minimizes discoloration over time and simplifies maintenance. This upgrade is available for both new and existing memorials, and can be tailored to your specific size, color, and design preferences.
Ground Anchors
This essential fixing component is securely connected through the necessary foundation and into the base of the memorial. Our system adheres to the NAMM code of working practice, ensuring peace of mind that your memorial remains stable and upright. For headstones predating the 1990s that may lack a ground anchor fixing system, we offer the option to retrofit this feature to enhance safety and comply with current regulations.
