Services from the Expert Art Restorer

Cleaning

Over time, dirt, dust, and yellowed varnish obscure a painting’s colours and detail. I carry out safe, controlled cleaning to reveal the original tones and brushwork beneath, bringing clarity and vibrancy back to the surface while protecting delicate layers from harm.

Mending & repairs

From torn canvases to weakened stretchers and flaking paint, physical damage can threaten a painting’s stability. I carry out careful structural repairs using conservation-grade materials, restoring support and strength while respecting the artwork’s age, character, and value.

Retouching

Faded, flaked, or damaged paint can distort a painting’s original impact. With expert colour-matching and delicate application, I retouch areas of loss or damage, seamlessly integrating new work into the old—reviving the artwork’s balance, beauty, and visual integrity without compromising its authenticity.

Conservation Advice

Not every painting needs immediate intervention - but all benefit from care. I provide tailored advice on how to store, display, frame, and handle artworks to prevent future damage. Whether you’re a collector or have one cherished piece, I’ll help you preserve it for the long term.
