Following recommendations from a Quinquennial Inspection Report, our team is carefully lifting, cleaning and re-laying original timber blocks only where adhesion has failed or movement has occurred.

This conservation-led approach ensures the repaired areas integrate seamlessly with the surrounding floor, maintaining the visual continuity and long-term performance expected in a listed place of worship.

Working closely with Michael Swords Studio and the Parochial Church Council, we are delivering a minimal-intervention, high-craft solution that extends the life of this important historic fabric while keeping the church open and safe for its community.

If your place of worship is planning internal repairs, refurbishment or reordering, Universal Stone offers a single, specialist team with deep experience in conservation-led fit-out and restoration across London and the South East.

From sensitive timber floor repairs and joinery conservation to full internal reordering, we combine heritage expertise with principal contractor capability to deliver programmes that protect significance while meeting modern liturgical and community needs.

USL is pleased to be associated with the re-roofing works at St Maryโ€™s, Hendon, a sensitive heritage project focused on the North Aisle and North Chapel. The scope included the careful strip-out of existing roof coverings, flashings, gutters and associated elements, followed by the installation of a new terne-coated stainless steel roof covering, lead flat roof and box gutter, new eaves boarding and renewed rainwater goods.

The project also included specialist masonry and conservation works, such as lime plaster re-rendering to the Lady Chapel high-level wall, repointing to the external masonry, and the careful removal, overhaul and reinstatement of clerestory windows. All works were carried out with protection, access and temporary roof arrangements in place to safeguard the building throughout.
This programme was carried out in partnership with Art Architects.

What a wonderful day at St. Georgeโ€™s Church, Ivychurch!

It was a pleasure to see so many people come together to celebrate the completion of the major restoration project and to enjoy everything the day had to offer.

One of the highlights was a fascinating guided tour of the church led by RMHCT Trustee Celia Heritage, sharing the rich history, architecture and stories of this remarkable building.

Many thanks to everyone who came along to show their support throughout the day.

Events like these remind us that our historic churches are not just extraordinary buildings - they are living places at the heart of our communities, with centuries of stories to tell.

The USL restoration team were pleased to work in partnership with Clague LLP and The Romney Marsh Historic Churches Trust on this external repair programme.

Universal Stone Limited (USL) is pleased to announce its appointment to the Tyburn Convent Sanctuary Renovation in London, a significant heritage and ecclesiastical project set within one of the capitalโ€™s most spiritually and historically important sites.

Set in the heart of London, Tyburn Convent stands near the historic Tyburn Gallows. Today, it is home to a cloistered Benedictine community devoted to prayer under the Rule of St Benedict. The chapel lies at the centre of convent life, comprising the sanctuary, choir, and tribune, spaces now set to undergo sensitive and transformative renewal.

Working in partnership with PELICAN ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN LTD (P-AD), USL will deliver a carefully considered programme of reordering works to the chapel, with a particular focus on the sanctuary.

The project is focused on the creation of a stunning, grand and beautifully crafted new main altar and reredos, designed to enhance the sacred setting while respecting the conventโ€™s liturgical and architectural heritage. The works will also include bespoke stone and timber elements, conservation of existing features, and the integration of new liturgical furniture.

The project is now underway and encompasses specialist design, manufacture, and installation of the new stone altar and timber reredos, careful adaptation and restoration of existing pews and furnishings, sanctuary reordering works including flooring and terrazzo, and the integration of bespoke joinery, railings, and architectural features.

All works will be delivered with a sensitive, phased approach to respect the ongoing life and operation of the convent. This project reflects USLโ€™s continued commitment to delivering high-quality heritage and ecclesiastical works, combining traditional craftsmanship with technical precision and considered project management.

Weโ€™re proud to share the completion of conservation works at Petre Chapel, Thorndon Park, Brentwood. A Grade II-listed Gothic Revival-style chapel set within a Grade II-registered park and garden. Universal Stone acted as Principal Contractor, delivering the works alongside +apt architects for the Historic Chapels Trust, with Churches Conservation Trust as client contact and support from the National Heritage Memorial Fund.

The chapel was originally commissioned by the 12th Baron Petre in the Gothic Revival style, reflecting the long heritage of the Petre family, a celebrated Roman Catholic family of Essex since medieval times.

Our specialist restoration and stonemasonry team carried out a sensitive programme of conservation and repair works, including:

ยท Masonry and mortar repairs to buttresses, walls, parapets, copings and the bellcote.
ยท Roof, rainwater goods and drainage repairs.
ยท Restoration of windows, external steps, internal floor areas and the vestry door.
ยท Remediation works, ventilation, guarding, paving, stone slab covers and secure gates.
ยท New stainless-steel supports and minor alterations, including lead weathering and lightwell protection.

This project demonstrates the value of careful, collaborative conservation on sensitive heritage assets, preserving significance while supporting long-term stability and access.

A big thank you to everyone involved in helping bring this important restoration project to a successful close.
