Good maintenance is key to conserving stone structures, and regular assessment can catch a problem before it escalates into something more expensive.

 

Wainwright and Co Stonemasons offer a range of maintenance services, structure assessment and condition reporting to ensure cost effective preservation of your masonry.

 

We are experienced in cleaning and sealing plaster work, masonry and Oamaru stone, employing non-abrasive techniques and products to safeguard your assets.

We were the winners of the 2014 Oakwood Properties Award in Earthquake Strengthening for Cargill’s Monument in Dunedin. 

 

Our specialty is in taking historic buildings and monuments and bringing them up to current earthquake safety regulations while maintaining original aesthetic values.

 

Our vast experience in this area means that we are able to collaborate with clients from the early stages of a project. We can advise evaluations and recommend approaches to engineers to ensure the best outcome for you.

We have worked across Otago and Southland in key masonry strengthening and core drilling projects.
