St Paul's Cathedral
Stone Technical Service is one of very few companies approved to work on the iconic St Paul's Cathedral as an officially-appointed contractor responsible for all structural and high level maintenance repairs and lightning conductor installation.
Stone Technical Services' specialist heritage engineers carry out a range of conservation works to ensure that St Paul's Cathedral remains one of the most treasured and visited attractions in the UK.
As part of an ongoing relationship, in 2010, the Clerk of Works at St Paul's requested that Stone's masons inspect the golden cross and dome, some 365 feet off the ground and one of the largest in the world. In addition, Stone's restoration team carried out the renewal of lightning protection conductors using specialist lead-burning tags to secure the new system.
And Stone's experts also help the Clerk of Works to plan for any future repairs, and therefore keep disruption to a minimum, by preparing a full digital condition report.
The cathedral is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the UK and was built by Sir Christopher Wren between 1675 and 1710 after its predecessor was destroyed in the Great Fire of London.
