Our experience with the conservation of architectural metal features and movable metal objects places us in an ideal position to advise clients on their conservation needs.

Our services include:

• Architectural paint research on painted metal features to reveal the chronology of the colour schemes used throughout the object’s history and advise on historically accurate replacement colours and suitable paint types
• Conduct condition surveys, assess damage and corrosion products
• Advise on cleaning and the removal of corrosion products
• Stabilisation
• Application of protective coatings
• Fabrication of missing details using surrogate materials
• Re-casting of metal works through our industrial contacts
• Advise on preventive conservation and environmental issues to help ensure the object’s long term survival.
