Who We Are

Trusted Conservators is a network of qualified and ICON accredited conservators with extensive experience of working for a wide range of heritage organisations and private clients. As former colleagues at the National Trust we now work as independent conservation professionals, offering our knowledge, expertise and practical skills to properties, museums, galleries, archives and individuals who house and care for historic collections.

As specialists we provide advice and guidance on collections care and preventive conservation, on the care of historic interiors, paintings and painted surfaces, paper, ceramics, glass, historic lighting, wall paintings, textiles, carpets and upholstery, including mounting and display.

Individual network members also offer hands-on training for collections care staff and volunteers, as well as carrying out both studio and on site treatments. We share access to a network of heritage conservation associates and suppliers, offering technical analysis and other specialist services. You can be assured of utmost discretion and confidentiality while also benefitting from the combined experience and skillsets of our network.
