New Zealand's sculpture maintenance and repair experts.
Sculpture cleaning is delicate, material-specific work — never a pressure wash. Our first objective is always to preserve and protect your outdoor artwork, a commitment we make both to you and to the artist who made it.
Left untreated, outdoor sculpture degrades quietly, then all at once. Regular care keeps a work looking its best and, just as importantly, protects the value locked up in your collection.
Our comprehensive preventative maintenance programme — the ObjektCare Programme — keeps your sculptures and art objekts consistently looking their best. It runs as an annual subscription, scaled to a single piece or an entire collection. Regular sculpture maintenance is always cheaper than restoration after neglect.
A typical programme includes:
Our work minimises the impact of the everyday forces that wear a sculpture down.
Ultraviolet light fades finishes and breaks down protective coatings over time.
Coastal salt accelerates corrosion on bronze, steel and aluminium.
Rain, wind and temperature swings drive moisture into joints and surfaces.
Droppings are acidic and quietly etch and stain unprotected metal and stone.
Touch, climbing and vandalism leave oils, scratches and general wear.
Airborne grime and pollutants dull surfaces and build up in fine detail.
“We have used ObjektCare for several years now — they have cared for small and large sculptures, restored works in poor condition and built new bases. Their attention to detail is excellent, and our works have never looked better.”Greg & Shelley Horton
