Conservation Treatments

At Stubbs Conservation we carry out an extensive range of interventive conservation treatments, using conservation grade tools and materials, tailored to each individual work, including but not limited to; surface cleaning, washing, alkalisation, backing removal, tear repairing, lining, infilling, retouching, inlaying and mounting/framing.

We complete and provide full written documentation as part of our practice, with all of our practices compatible and/or fully reversible as per defined best practice within conservation.

Collections Care & training

Depending on the individual’s needs, we can tailor a service to you. Whether it be a condition survey of your existing collection, providing recommendations and practical tips on storing your works of art to the highest museum standards, or producing a detailed condition report prior to acquisition or loan.

We have extensive experience in developing preventive conservation practices and policies in mixed collections, including housekeeping routines, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Benchmarking; providing onsite training in all areas.

Integrated Pest Management: We provide you with custom designed files and procedures that enable you to easily log the prevalence of various collection pests in your location. Providing usable data that can inform of infestations as well as helping to plan for seasonal peaks in breeding cycles, reducing the risks that pests can pose to your collection
