Our experienced paper conservators provide a huge range of conservation treatments for works on paper, including watercolours, prints, archival materials, manuscripts, plans, wallpaper, screens, photographs and books. 

Using state-of-the-art techniques and archival-grade materials, we employ a meticulous approach to paper conservation. Each project is carefully assessed to determine the most appropriate conservation methods, including deacidification, mending tears, removing stains, and consolidating fragile areas. Our conservators are skilled in handling a wide range of paper types, including prints, maps, manuscripts, parchment and vellum.

Treatments include surface cleaning, removal of acidic backing and window mats, tear repairs, flattening of creases and distortions, and reduction of stains and discolouration. We also undertake high volume treatments of mould-damaged collections and preparation of documents for digitisation.

Through our conservation treatments, we aim to improve and stabilise the condition of items to halt further deterioration, reverse damage, and ensure the long-term preservation of paper-based objects.

Our conservators can advise on optimal conditions for hanging and storing paper artworks including prime hanging and storing environments, the best materials for hanging and consideration of UV glazing creating the optimum environment for the longevity of the items.
