Project specification

Lyons Stonework was appointed to undertake the significant restoration project at Bangor University, a historic institution with buildings dating back to the late 19th century. This project required our expertise in heritage masonry to preserve and restore the architectural integrity of these historic structures.

Our involvement included detailed surveying, planning, and execution of restoration works. Initial comprehensive surveys assessed the condition of the buildings, guiding our meticulous planning to ensure minimal disruption to the university’s operations.

Our skilled heritage masons restored deteriorated stonework by cleaning, repairing, and replacing damaged stones using traditional techniques and materials matching the original construction. Utilising our in-house capabilities, we produced replacement stones with precision, ensuring consistency and quality control. This internal manufacturing capability allowed us to maintain high standards and adhere to project timelines.

We worked closely with conservation officers to ensure all restoration activities complied with heritage preservation standards, with each stage carefully monitored and signed off to meet regulatory requirements. Key features of the project included the restoration of intricate decorative stonework, essential structural repairs, and adherence to sustainable practices.

The successful completion of the Bangor University restoration project demonstrated Lyons Stonework’s commitment to preserving historical architecture. Our meticulous approach and collaboration with conservation authorities ensured the buildings were restored to their former glory, highlighting our expertise in delivering high-quality, bespoke masonry solutions for heritage sites.
