Conservation & Restoration
Introduction
We carry out both in situ conservation works and more intensive studio conservation.
Our conservation works include cleaning, repairing broken quarries, ensuring windows are watertight, restoring paint loss, facilitating environmental protection glazing and creating photographic conservation records.
We work with ICON accredited conservators and can carry out conservation assessments to recommend the best course of action.
