We always recommend that you seek professional advice when contemplating repairs to your family plot. This is to ensure that the work is undertaken in a sympathetic way using the appropriate materials. Also to ensure that the work will prolong the life of the heritage fabric into the future. A monumental mason will assist you with organising the necessary permit to undertake the work as appropriate.
There are numerous monumental masons in the Wellington region who can assist. You may like to consult with the New Zealand Master Monumental Masons Association’s directory:
