Yes. Acton Cemetery opened in 1895, and its older Victorian memorials — limestone, sandstone and marble — hold algae, lichen and dark surface staining, particularly on the shaded, north-facing sides. We clean grave memorials at Acton gently, using stone-safe methods rather than harsh chemicals or pressure washing, and follow Ealing Council’s rules for memorial work.
About Acton Cemetery
Acton Cemetery opened in 1895 on Park Royal Road, covering about 6.5 acres, with two chapels of the same year and 143 Commonwealth war graves. It remains open for new graves. The Central Line runs straight through the site, splitting it in two, with a metal footbridge joining the halves.
Access: Run by the London Borough of Ealing, so memorial work is subject to council permission. There is a pedestrian entrance on Chase Road, and because the railway divides the cemetery, some sections are reached only by the footbridge.

Permission: memorial work here is governed by London Borough of Ealing. In practice the registered grave owner’s consent is what we ask for, and we work to the site’s own memorial rules — see their memorial guidance, or our guide to who needs permission to clean a grave.
