@bt_uk Hi, there’s no point. The order will just be cancelled again, I’ll be promised things that won’t happen, and we still won’t have a socket. I’ll happily DM you my number but you should be able to look up the account under Recclesia Ltd. Thanks.

[Jamie Moore @ConserveMoore]

Once again I despair of the hapless folk @bt_uk - is there anyone there who can get us a phone socket installed in our new office? It’s not much to ask of a phone company is it?

There’s some wonderful work going on in our masonry workshops this month as our work at St Mary’s in Nantwich with @InsallArch draws to a conclusion. These carved sections of tracery and buttress caps are some of the final pieces of work being created in Hollington stone.

Our specialist metalwork team are crafting protective guards for the windows at Christ Church in Barnston - cut, welded, finished, and powder-coated. Skilled work that helps safeguard the character and fabric of this historic building. #metalwork #heritageskills #wirral

In 2023, we installed six stained glass windows at the @BrianClarkeAcad in Oldham created by our most treasured hero of contemporary stained glass, Sir Brian Clarke. We also designed and fabricated bespoke vented frames, uniting his vision with modern construction techniques.

A throwback to one of our most exciting projects – conserving stained glass in Manchester Town Hall’s Great Hall & Great Staircase. The windows are now back in place, and we're proud to continue work on the Bees Landing rooflights. A joy to help conserve this iconic civic space.

Yesterday, our founder Jamie Moore helped guide HRH The Duke of Gloucester through areas of Chester where we've delivered award-winning conservation work, marking 65 years of Chester Civic Trust and 50 years since Chester's recognition in the European Architectural Heritage Year.

Proud to support the next generation of architects as a sponsor of the @StoneFederation Student Architect Prize. Congrats to Toby Barlow for Stone Reform - an innovation project reimagining quarries and showcasing the potential of natural stone in design. A well-deserved win.

Our trainee conservator Ellen joined the @stainedglassmus Study Tour last month, visiting 19 sites in 3 days! From luminous medieval panels to vibrant Arts & Crafts windows and bold contemporary pieces - a brilliant learning experience kindly awarded by the museum's bursary.

In 2022, our team scaled new heights at Castell Dinas Brân, a medieval ruin above the Dee Valley near Llangollen. Its remote location and high elevation posed serious challenges, making the task of stabilising the freestanding arch complex and rewarding. #throwbackthursday

We’ve reached a major milestone in the conservation of Haigh Hall’s glass dome. Our team carefully cleaned, consolidated the original paint, and recreated damaged sections using traditional techniques. The result is a dome with renewed colour, clarity, and vibrancy. #stainedglass

[Recclesia @recclesia]

We’re working at St Mary’s Church in Nantwich, where visible stone scars attributed to Civil War musket and cannon fire are being carefully considered as part of our approach to conserving the building’s unique historic fabric. #heritageinmind

A recent trip to London gave us the chance to revisit the Keith Grant windows we conserved last year at Charing Cross Hospital. Millenium New World 1 and 2 are now fully reinstated on the main concourse – with vibrant infills using mouthblown @lambertsglass. #stainedglass

[Recclesia @recclesia]

The scaffolding strike at St Peter’s, Chester marks the end of a major project. We worked alongside Clach Conservation & @buttressarch on structural repairs, while our multidisciplinary team carried our masonry work and stained glass conservation. A proud week for all involved.

Edge bonding and plating a shattered painted tracery panel from St Luke’s, Kensington. Taped, bonded, plated and cold painted underneath before sealing with conservation-appropriate silicone – now ready to return to its place in the building’s story. #glassconservation

From fiery battles to heavenly visions, the windows St Gwenfaen’s in Anglesey are full of drama, detail, and Burne-Jones' glowing artistry. Their vivid colours and exquisite paintwork make them such a joy to conserve.

Works are starting at the remarkable St Deiniol’s Church, Worthenbury – a striking Georgian landmark. Working with @friendschurches, our team of specialist conservators from across disciplines are coming together to safeguard this significant historic building.

A quiet but crucial moment for St Peter's. This timelapse captures the precise tensioning of bespoke steel tie rods, as temporary supports are carefully removed. A key phase in securing the church's future, achieved alongside Clach Conservation and @buttressarch. #stpeterschurch

Trainee Conservator Ellen recently took a Colour Filling with Epoxy Resins course, led by ICON-accredited conservators Sarah Peek and Jasmina Vučković. With her chemistry expertise, she's excelling in glass conservation and exploring new methods and innovations in our studio.
