Overview

Finials and parapets, in plain terms.

Broken finial fragments and silicone mould sections for restoration work
Fragments used to create restoration mould sections

Roofline details take the worst of the weather and are the hardest to reach. When they fail, they're often brought down in pieces.

We mould from the surviving pieces — sometimes reassembled on the bench — and build tooling that can cast replacements in one piece or in sections that are easier to lift.

What sets it apart

Four things that define this route.

01

Finials and pinnacles

Multi-part moulds for pieces carved in the round.

02

Crockets

Small repeated details moulded once and cast many times.

03

Parapet copings

Profiled copings with drips, matched to the survivor.

04

Sectional casting

Tall pieces cast in sections for safer lifting and fixing.

How we build it

From pattern to released tool.

Pieces in the round need multi-part moulds with splits placed on arrises. We plan the splits with the mason so they're easy to dress out.

Tall elements are often cast in sections with a dowelled joint. We design the joint position so it reads as a natural course line.

The honest bit

What to know before you commit.

Access and weather set the programme on roofline work. We'll plan moulding around the scaffold, not the other way round.

The silicone holds the detail, the rigid case keeps it true, and the split line lets the part come out without tearing.

FAQs

Questions we hear about this.

Can a broken finial be moulded?

Often, yes, once the pieces are reassembled and consolidated on the bench.

Crocket sets?

One good crocket can usually be moulded and repeated.
