Our team ensure that these works get the care and assessment they need to stay to stay in optimal condition and a source of enjoyment for the engire community through the years.
Common issues we address in outdoor artworks include exposure to environmental factors such as pollution, weathering, and vandalism; and the repairing of structural damage and providing stabilisation.
Our skilled conservators remove dirt, grime, and biological growth and graffiti with minimal damage the artwork’s surface or altering its intended appearance. Individual challenges from repairing cracks and fractures to repainting or retouching faded areas are addressed. We strive to revitalise the artwork while preserving its original character and intent.
Regular maintenance of public art ensures the art pieces do not heavily deteriorate, potentially leading to indepth and costly conservation needs, and ensures the pieces always look their best in the public environment.
