The Consultancy is passionate about preserving the past and present for future generations to learn from and enjoy.
We have a breadth of experience working with museums, historic houses, churches and private clients. All projects are considered and no project is considered too small.
Elm Heritage Conservation Consultancy’s recent work has included condition surveys and significance assessments for museum and National Trust collections, permanent and temporary exhibition preparation and installation, practical conservation treatments, and advisory work and compilation of Conservation Management Plans for Heritage Lottery Fund funded projects. The Consultancy also has wide experience of developing and delivering bespoke talks and workshops on how to care for collections as well as aspects of dress and textile history.
Elm Heritage Consultancy can call upon networks and associates to assist with your conservation needs.

“We could not be more delighted and satisfied by theresults of your conservation work. The cushions look absolutely splendid as do the bonnets.”
W. Tyrwhitt-Drake, Bereleigh Estate
“A heartfelt thank you … your work is a fascinating and full report which surely cannot fail to press the HLF committee when the application goes to them in the late summer. We feel fortunate that you took on this task and produced an interesting working plan. We have all learnt much from it. We are all most grateful.”
Chair of Trustees, Axminster Heritage Centre, Devon
“We asked Sarah to look at our collection and make recommendations in preparation for a redisplay. She took the time to explain her recommendations and provided us with an excellent written report of them, as well as advice for collections management into the future. She was professional, thorough and very easy to work with; I’d certainly talk to her again if I required a freelance conservator and have no qualms in recommending her.”
