Our conservation services encompass a wide range of treatments aimed at preserving the physical and aesthetic qualities of artworks. We conduct thorough visual and technical assessments before commencing any restoration work, ensuring that each piece receives the appropriate care.

In our Harrogate studio, we handle the conservation of easel paintings, addressing issues such as surface grime, varnish discolouration, and structural damage. Our techniques include cleaning, varnish removal, paint loss retouching, and canvas support treatments.

For church heritage conservation, we undertake on-site projects involving the restoration of decorative schemes, gilded surfaces, and polychrome sculptures. Our work adheres to internationally recognised conservation ethics, utilising high-quality materials and up-to-date techniques to achieve lasting results.
