Standing outside Liverpool town hall is this historic fountain. Unfortunately over the years because the fountain was not water tight it had fallen into disrepair. With the advent of the tall ships race in Liverpool the council commissioned Peter Wakefield to restore the fountain to its original working order for the day of the race. Working to a tight deadline of 1 week, work was carried out round the clock at up to 10hours a day to seal the fountain using Thoro water plug. The large and obvious cracks were filled and then the base was covered with several coats of thoroseal. The plumbers, and then the painters finished off the work with a day to spare!

We were very proud to have been involved in this prestigious restoration and are pleased to say that 10 years later it still looks good!
