About Me
My specialisms are the conservation and restoration of painted and gilt surfaces, architectural paint research, and the completion of major projects to historic interiors.
I have been working in this field since 2001, gaining a wealth of experience in Grade I listed buildings and monuments, and in 2016 co-founded Britain & Co, a conservation and specialist decoration company, with a Master Decorator.
We specialise in multi-disciplinary heritage projects, combining expertise in both fine decoration techniques and conservation.
