This was an unusual contract for Period Property Services Limited which was financed by Heritage Lottery funds and Felixstowe Council. We were involved from the initial advisory stages through to the end liaising with the council and main contractors. The awards were presented in conjunction with main contractors.

We undertook restoration of all the major stone and flint water features in each of the gardens and all the garden rockery walls.

The Main Garden long wall and Lampstand bases throughout the gardens had severely deteriorated and we were asked to restore these elements. In order to do this, we fabricated moulds to match original stones which were on site, these were then cast, with the inclusion of crushed shells and then aged. Each stone was hand made to match its original counterpart, we then rebuilt the entire wall. The same process was used for the Lampstand bases.
