Strathmiglo Church - Belfry Repairs (Click on text or images for a larger picture)
The top section complete. The ball was repaired using polyester resin and copper dowels. The resin "sticks" the stone back together, but the dowels stitch across the cracks and make it impossible for the sections to seperate again. The ball contains two of these dowels.
These frames were fitted, at the churches request, to give the belfry some lateral stability. Two were installed. They are made from galvanised mild steel, and the bolts are stainless steel (to prevent future damage to the masonry) anchored into polyester resin.
One of the frames, fully installed, painted and pointed.
New galvanised clamp fitted to bell wheel to stop any movement. We also painted the timber "headstock" with Butinox, and all metalwork has been glossed.
Contract complete.
