Working throughout the heritage sector, the company combines rigorous conservation methodology with exceptional decorative craftsmanship, allowing it to undertake highly specialised projects within some of Britain's most significant historic buildings. Their work encompasses historic houses, museums, palaces, churches, civic buildings, educational institutions, and culturally important interiors where the preservation of historic fabric requires both technical expertise and artistic sensitivity. Led by an ICON-accredited conservator and supported by a team of highly skilled specialists, Britain & Co approaches each commission with a commitment to understanding the historical significance, material composition, and conservation requirements of every surface and decorative element entrusted to their care. Historic Interiors & Decorative Conservation The conservation of historic interiors requires a careful balance between preservation, investigation, repair, and presentation. Britain & Co specialises in conserving decorative schemes and architectural finishes while retaining the authenticity and historic significance of the original work. Whether working within a country house, museum, palace, church, or institutional building, the company employs conservation-led approaches designed to stabilise, preserve, and reveal historic decorative surfaces for future generations. Their work includes projects involving: Conservation Reports, Surveys & Advice Alongside practical conservation work, Britain & Co regularly provides specialist conservation consultancy services for heritage professionals, property owners, architects, and institutions. The company undertakes condition surveys, conservation proposals, treatment reports, budget assessments, and specialist advice informed by materials analysis and extensive experience in decorative surface conservation. These services help clients make informed decisions regarding the long-term care and management of important historic interiors. Murals, Wall Paintings & Decorative Art Britain & Co has extensive experience in the conservation and treatment of murals, wall paintings, marouflage paintings, decorative art, and polychrome surfaces. Working as part of multidisciplinary conservation teams, the company undertakes in-situ conservation treatments designed to stabilise fragile surfaces while preserving historic authenticity and artistic integrity. Such projects require a combination of scientific understanding, artistic sensitivity, and meticulous craftsmanship that few practitioners can provide. Conservation Excellence & Professional Accreditation A defining feature of Britain & Co's work is its commitment to recognised professional conservation standards. The practice is led by an ICON-accredited conservator and is represented on the Conservation Register and the National Trust Register of Consultant Conservators. These credentials reflect the company's commitment to best practice, professional ethics, and the highest standards of conservation delivery. Preserving Britain's Decorative Heritage Historic interiors tell stories that are often invisible within the structure of a building itself. Decorative schemes, painted surfaces, gilding, murals, and ornamental finishes provide valuable evidence of craftsmanship, cultural history, and changing patterns of use over centuries. Through careful conservation and restoration, Britain & Co helps ensure that these fragile elements of the historic environment remain accessible, understandable, and protected for future generations.
