About the Process
If you have a painting that needs treatment, please reach out to Laura via email ltconservation@gmail.com, phone 07745 869940, or through the Contact Us section at the bottom of the page. It is helpful to share what you would like done and to provide an initial photo. She prefers to evaluate the painting in person, as it is often difficult to assess the condition of the painting from photos alone.
Quotations are complimentary and carry no obligation. After evaluating the painting, Laura will send you a condition report along with a treatment proposal, including a bracketed estimate which reflects the variable nature of conservation work. Rest assured she will not exceed the upper estimate, even if additional work is needed, so you can be confident in the quoted price.
Once the treatment is complete and you are satisfied with the results, Laura provide a treatment report and treatment photos.
