Comprehensive heritage conservation solutions tailored to your unique requirements.

Historic building architectural details

Architectural Heritage Consultancy

£1,875.00

Listed buildings and structures within conservation areas demand specialist knowledge. Our architectural heritage consultants provide expert guidance on planning applications, conservation management, and regulatory compliance.

What We Deliver

  • Heritage impact assessments for planning submissions
  • Conservation management plans for historic properties
  • Listed building consent application support
  • Condition surveys and maintenance strategies
  • Materials analysis and traditional construction advice

Whether you are restoring a Georgian townhouse, adapting a Victorian mill, or managing an ancient monument, our consultants bring deep understanding of historic construction techniques and heritage legislation.

Historical archive materials and documents

Private Archive Organisation

£1,240.00

Family papers, business records, and personal collections often accumulate over generations without systematic organisation. We transform chaotic accumulations into coherent, professionally catalogued archives.

Our Process

  • Initial assessment and scope definition
  • Sorting and arrangement by provenance
  • Creation of finding aids and catalogues
  • Rehousing in archival-quality storage
  • Environmental monitoring recommendations
  • Access protocols and handling guidelines

The result is an accessible collection where researchers, family members, or solicitors can quickly locate specific documents. We employ recognised archival standards whilst remaining sensitive to the personal nature of family materials.

Vintage documents requiring conservation

Document Restoration

£685.00

Paper-based materials deteriorate from age, improper storage, water damage, or handling wear. Our conservators stabilise damaged documents using reversible techniques that respect original materials.

Treatment Options

  • Surface cleaning and stain reduction
  • Tear repair using Japanese tissue
  • Deacidification to slow degradation
  • Flattening and humidification of creased materials
  • Backing and support for fragile items
  • Encapsulation in protective sleeves

Each treatment plan is developed after thorough examination. We document condition before, during, and after intervention, providing full records of all work undertaken.

Digital scanning equipment for heritage materials

Heritage Digitisation

£920.00

Digital surrogates protect originals from handling damage whilst making materials accessible to wider audiences. Our digitisation service combines high-quality imaging with robust metadata and long-term storage planning.

Service Components

  • High-resolution flatbed and overhead scanning
  • Photographic reproduction for three-dimensional objects
  • Metadata creation and file naming conventions
  • Format selection for preservation and access copies
  • Quality control and colour calibration
  • Delivery in multiple formats for different uses

We handle fragile materials with care, using specialised equipment for bound volumes and oversized items. Files are delivered alongside documentation explaining storage requirements and migration schedules.

Historical artifacts and cultural objects

Object Conservation

£1,450.00

Three-dimensional artefacts present unique conservation challenges. Materials interact differently. Environmental factors affect stability. Our object conservators assess complex deterioration patterns and develop appropriate interventions.

Materials We Treat

  • Ceramics and glass
  • Textiles and costume
  • Metalwork and jewellery
  • Wood and furniture
  • Composite objects
  • Ethnographic materials

Treatment may involve cleaning, stabilisation, structural repair, or preventive measures. We prioritise interventions that maintain historical integrity whilst ensuring long-term stability. Display and storage recommendations accompany all conservation work.

Not Sure Which Service You Need?

Heritage conservation projects often span multiple disciplines. Many clients benefit from combined services—archival organisation paired with digitisation, or architectural consultancy alongside materials conservation.

We are happy to discuss your requirements and recommend appropriate solutions. Initial consultations help us understand your objectives and develop tailored proposals.
