Procter Cast Stone has manufactured and supplied custom cast stone units for the restoration of Kimberley Bridge, replacing original stones that were damaged or missing.  To simulate the deep pitched carved surface of the original coping stones, the cast stone units were manufactured with a finish that was created by taking mouldings from representative samples of the coping stones on the bridge.

Listed buildings that are being repaired, restored, altered, extended or converted can all benefit from cast stone.  In some cases it is appropriate to replace quarried stone that has been damaged or lost, while elsewhere cast stone can be used to mimic quarried stone features so that extensions or alterations blend in with or complement the existing building.  Procter Cast Stone's experienced staff can undertake a site survey to ensure as close a match as possible, including colours and surface textures.  Because cast stone weathers in the same way as quarried stone, the new units soon develop a comparable finish.

City & Country Group has earned an enviable reputation as one of the UK's leading property developers, combining traditional values with innovation and the pursuit of excellence. In May 2009, the company's landmark development in Brentwood, The Galleries, received two top industry awards. This conversion of the Grade II listed derelict Victorian Warley Hospital won both the Best Conversion and Best Large Development awards at the Evening Standard New Homes Awards 2009. An important aspect of the development was the use of cast stone to replace damaged natural stone and to replicate natural stone for new features on the existing buildings as well as for new buildings and extensions on the site. All of the cast stone items were supplied by Procter Cast Stone, whose staff also provided advice, support and consultancy services to ensure that the project progressed smoothly, on budget and to the agreed schedules.
