Cliveden Conservation, established in 1982 by Trevor Proudfoot, is a leading UK-based company dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the nation's heritage. Initially founded to maintain the National Trust's buildings and statuary collections, the company has since expanded its services to a diverse clientele, including heritage organizations, architects, and private clients. With workshops in Berkshire, Somerset, and Norfolk, Cliveden Conservation offers nationwide coverage, providing expert advice and practical conservation treatments for stone and brickwork, plasterwork, and decorative arts such as statues, mosaics, and wall paintings. The company's mission centers on fostering sustainable relationships that value buildings, objects, and the people who use them. By emphasizing best practices, research, and informed decision-making, Cliveden Conservation ensures that each project receives the most appropriate conservation interventions without compromising quality for cost. Their team of skilled conservators, many of whom are ICON-accredited, are committed to sharing knowledge, establishing best practices, pursuing professional development, and protecting the environment. Cliveden Conservation's expertise encompasses a wide range of services, including the cleaning, repair, and reinstatement of stonework using traditional skills and materials; stabilization and repair of decorative plasterwork, including ceilings, friezes, and cast sculptures; and conservation of decorative arts such as terracotta, mosaics, sculpture, gilding, and polychrome surfaces. They also offer advisory services and material analysis, investigating the structural stability of buildings and objects to identify areas of decay and failure, providing comprehensive condition reports that detail the required conservation treatments. Over the years, Cliveden Conservation has been involved in numerous prestigious projects, including the restoration of the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben) in London, where they worked to restore the exterior and interior decorative schemes to their original 1850s designs. Their commitment to excellence and attention to detail have earned them recognition and awards within the heritage sector, solidifying their reputation as one of the UK's finest conservation specialists.
