If you are working on a building that requires a professional mosaic restoration, it’s important to always use experienced and skilled craftspeople. The aim should be to preserve as much of the mosaic as reasonably possible, using a careful approach to replacing tesserae. We look at what you need to consider when choosing a suitable mosaic restoration service.
Use a Mosaic Tile Specialist
When researching mosaic restoration specialists, make sure you check their credentials and expertise. Always use skilled artisans with credible experience working with a variety of different mosaics and materials, such as rare marble and venetian glass tiles. Study their website gallery to see if they have worked on similar mosaic restoration projects.
Look for a mosaic restoration business with a directly employed team, as this will give you greater confidence that everyone has been trained to a high standard. If they have their own mosaic workshop, tile stock, and the ability to fabricate bespoke designs, this can be very beneficial too. A restorer skilled in crafting replacement tesserae for various historic mosaics will ensure your project meets or exceeds your clients’ requirements upon final completion.
Engaging a Mosaic Restoration Expert
Before you commit to using a mosaic restoration service, read their client testimonials to make sure they have the relevant expertise for your project. It’s important to make sure you use someone who has genuine experience of restoring, designing and fabricating a mosaic.
When you engage with a mosaic restoration company, talk to them about the types of commissions they have worked on, their restoration process, and their approach to different projects. Certain permissions might be needed before mosaic restoration works can begin.
If your building has high footfall, for example, then make sure the mosaic restorer are friendly and able to deal with the general public. Where access is limited during the day, they might need to work outside of usual working hours. It’s also a useful advantage if they can deliver a full end-to-end service, from initial surveys to installation and ongoing monitoring.
