St Martin’s Chapel, Chisbury, Wiltshire.

Architect: Philip Hughes Associates, Wincanton.
Client: English Heritage, SW Region.
Repair and conservation of the original plaster and render of this 13^th Century Chapel. Grout was used to stabilise the severely laminating and blistering surface.  An adhesive mix was used to reset loose sections, pack large cavities and consolidate weak and friable edges.   Render repair mix was used as a buffer zone to protect the original render and pointing mix was used to rebed loose flints and stones and rebuild the NE corner, colour washed to match.  

The projects from the treatment of plaster can vary from remnants of medieval decoration to extensive narrative schemes from the nineteenth century. This spans a huge range of original materials and techniques and a similarly complex and flexible response.
