'Prevention is better than cure'

Do you have your car MOT'd and serviced regularly? Do you have your house roof checked and your electricals serviced to prevent accident and damage? Preventing damage and breakages to your objects in the first place is better all round for your pocket and for the longevity of the piece. It sounds simple doesn't it? A lot of damage prevention is straightforward, for example: don't get porous materials wet and don't perch breakable things in precarious positions. Other aspects of preventative conservation can be more complex, such as certain types of woods that can 'off-gas' and tarnish metal, or different plastics that will break down more quickly when stored in close proximity with each other. Laneham Conservation can help you negotiate your way through this potential minefield of mistakes and we can help you safe-guard items by giving your objects regular checks with our silver or gold standard surveys.

Because treasured memories should never be lost
