Restoration and refurbishment works to The Deanery at St Columb's Cathedral (1833) in the centre of the historic Walled City is nearing completion, with scaffold dismantling underway.  

Works internally included extensive redecoration treatment throughout.  Externally sandstone detailing has been sensitively cleaned and brickwork pointing renewed with lime based products.  

The extent of existing staining to stone banding, parapet and quoin detailing and the subsequent removal of the staining can be seen in the before and after photographs below. More to follow on completion...
