As the sand cast lead stripping works commence, the initial findings have revealed a promising timber substrate, laying the foundation for a comprehensive and respectful restoration process.
The ongoing restoration process involves the meticulous recycling of the sand cast code 5 lead, utilizing the existing lead removed from the building. This sustainable approach not only ensures the preservation of the palace’s historical authenticity but also reflects our commitment to environmentally responsible practices. The casting procedures, carried out by the esteemed CEL Lead & Hard Metals Ltd, adhere to the highest standards of craftsmanship, guaranteeing a seamless integration of tradition and innovation within the restoration process.
After meticulous recycling efforts, the sand cast lead is now fully prepared for installation, poised to adorn the roof area with a seamless blend of heritage and durability. The completion of the recycling process signifies a significant milestone in the restoration project, reflecting our unwavering commitment to both preserving the palace’s historical integrity and ensuring its longevity for generations to come.
