Over the years since our foundation, first as the National Trust Statuary Workshop in 1982, then as an independent company, the Cliveden Conservation Workshop from 1990 has developed a greater experience and expertise in more specialist areas of conservation than any other company in the UK.

This focus on conservation specialities allows us to provide the technical, analytical, historical and craft skills to produce outstanding work across a wide range of projects for example:

 ·

Award-winning Casting and Sculpture work at Stowe.

 ·

Carving at Linlithgow Palace.

 ·

Carving, Plasterwork and Chimneypieces at Castletown Cox, Chastleton, Knole, Abbey Liex, Uppark and Edinburgh Castle.

 ·

Conservation of Classical statuary at Aphrodisias.

 ·

The care of the Petworth Collection of restored and neoclassical sculptures and indeed all of the statuary in the National Trust houses.

 ·

The analysis of the remains of ceiling decoration after the fires at Windsor Castle and Uppark for the restoration and redecoration of plaster work.

 ·

Research at Corfe Castle and Selby Abbey.

 ·

Repair and remodelling of the Downhill Ounces

Long-standing clients include English Heritage, as well as the National Trust, many Church bodies, Museums, Academic bodies, Local Authorities and private owners.

Based in the grounds of Cliveden in Berkshire, with a second centre in Bath, we work as advised main or sub-contractors on projects throughout the UK, Ireland and as far a field as Turkey and the United States.
