Hirst Conservation was established back in 1986 by Elizabeth Hirst. Elizabeth was trained by the late professor Robert Baker and Mrs Eve Baker of the Eve Baker Trust, who were considered by many as the most eminent conservators of wall paintings and limestone sculpture of the 20th Century. Elizabeth Hirst has developed these theories, processes and practices, ensuring that Hirst Conservation moves forward in to the new millennium well equipped to conserve and secure our heritage for future generations. Elizabeth Hirst remains actively involved in the development of Hirst Conservation and its specialisations.

Our company policy is simple: To provide a conservation service second to none.
We take great pride in ensuring that as a company, we are at the forefront of contemporary conservation ethics and thinking.
