Eden Architectural Conservation Ltd

Eden Architectural Conservation Ltd is a specialised conservation company with decades of experience and a unique skill base, working on everything from St Paul's Cathedral to Pictish standing stones and British Romano mosaics. They are expert and passionate about practical conservation, offering a breadth and depth of experience that sets them apart. Their services encompass the practical care and repair of statues, monuments, mosaics, and stone, including consolidation of friable surfaces, sensitive cleaning, repair of damaged features, replication of missing elements, and application of protective coatings.

Alongside their practical skills, they also provide lectures, conduct research, and lead conservation theory and practice. The company undertakes work on cathedrals, castles, follies, and country estates, applying masonry skills to the carving of decorative stone elements, offering replication of existing features or interpretation and design of new ones. They also provide letter cutting in stone for inscriptions on memorials or headstones.

Eden operates with care and experience in sensitive locations such as scheduled monuments, listed buildings, and ecclesiastical buildings. Their specialist expertise originated at St Pauls Cathedral over 20 years ago, with an emphasis on retaining historic material and minimal intervention. They employ techniques such as the use of lime mortars, paraloid repairs, sensitive conservation cleaning, and piecing broken elements back together, positioning themselves at the forefront of conservation techniques and thinking.

They are comfortable and authoritative in working with carved and decorative stone dating from British Romano periods through to 20th-century design.
