We can assess, move, and conserve statuary and sculpture from a range of public and private settings. Our well-established expertise in dealing with historic sculpture and statuary of all kinds, whether in metals, stone, Coade or other reconstituted materials, can even bring at-risk, deteriorating and damaged sculptures back to life.
We are also experts in safely moving and repositioning sculpture, in private as well as ecclesiastical and museum settings.
We undertake specialist surveys, historical and scientific research, conservation cleaning, repair, restoration and reconstruction of all kinds.
