Volunteer Headstone Cleaning

Hi Lyn, hope you like :)View attachment 228333 we are finished.
It’s not perfect but so much better.
If I could make a suggestion (although not cheap) some stones in the middle section would really finish this off.
just got in and oh my goodness suzanne it is absolutely stunning and you have even cleaned up the flower bowl and put some flowers in so many thanks also for the wonderful respect you have shown..good idea about the stones in the middle...cant thank you both enough..will send you a private message when i have had a cuppa

Hi all
Just wanted to add that I can now do gold left re lettering on granite headstones :)
If anyone would like this done please let me know. Stone masons charge per letter, annd it’s not cheap. I’d just charge you for the paint, and perhaps petrol if it’s north Birmingham. But that’s it

So glad you’re happy :) we are really enjoying doing it. I think one more visit and we’ll be done
Hello Suzanne, I was wondering if you could help. On your cleaning stints do you find missing stick on letters and if so can they be purchased anywhere.
Thanks,Keith
