Peter Meehan has over 30 years experience of working with historic metalwork from historic bridges to jewellery and coins to motor cars, both in museum collections or as part of our outdoor heritage. Each can present a very different conservation challenge.

Clients include museum staff, conservation architects, local authority conservation officers, heritage engineers, historic building restoration contractors and private individuals looking for professional solutions when dealing with conservation and restoration problems. The Company’s philosophy and method will ensure that the right approach is taken to the item’s conservation/restoration so its long term preservation can be assured with the minimum of intervention.
