Work in Progress - current projects involving Sleight Conservation
Kings Sutton - Window repairs to The Church of St Peter's and St Paul's.

Seven windows are being conserved on the North Aisle, South Aisle and Chancel.

Work involved cleaning down, pinning and grouting cracked stonework, sheltercoating and painting the iron window grills.
   
 

Typical problem shown here. The window tracery is delaminating and requires pinning back to make sure the original stonework is conserved.

Dowels are kept as small as possible to ensure tension and stress to the stonework is kept to a minimum

A premixed lime grout is injected into the prepared dowel hole prior to inserting the stainless steel dowel
