​
We are based in a purpose-built converted conservation studio on the Houghton Estate, near Kings Lynn, Norfolk. The spacious nature of the facilities enables us to accommodate very large and/or numerous paintings at any one time. We have the capacity to carry out site-based work when required and have a great deal of experience working on projects within churches.Â
All materials used are high grade conservation materials and reversible where possible, to ensure the long-term care of your artworks. In accordance with our accredited status, clear written and photographic documentation will be recorded throughout each project and provided to the client once treatment is complete. Â
​
The studio was established in 2004 by Kiffy Stainer-Hutchins. After a long-standing, distinguished career in conservation, Kiffy retired in 2025.
The studio is now being run by Hugo Platt and Nicola Pollard-Evans, both trained in Easel Painting Conservation. Hugo gained professional accreditation from the Institute of Conservation in 2012.
