Stone Restoration

Moggerhanger House, celebrated as Sir John Soane’s most complete surviving work, is a Grade I listed Georgian property nestled within 33 acres of picturesque grounds and woodlands designed by Humphry Repton. Renowned for its architectural and historical significance, it stands as a testament to the grandeur of Georgian design.

London Stone Conservation was commissioned to carry out stone restoration and historic building conservation on the north and east elevations. The scope of work encompassed meticulous brick and stone repairs, as well as lead flashing restoration on the chimney stack, parapets, cornices, pediment, and walls.

Originally constructed as a country house, Moggerhanger House later served as a hospital and conference centre. Its rectangular-plan structure features a three-storey central range flanked by two-storey blocks to the southwest, northeast, and southeast, with a single-storey extension to the northwest. The building is primarily brick, faced with Parker’s metallic stucco, originally tinted to mimic stone, and topped with a mansard roof clad in slate.

Through expert stone restoration and conservation efforts, London Stone Conservation has contributed to preserving the legacy of this historic house, ensuring its architectural integrity remains for future generations.
