Jim Budd is an Icon accredited conservator-restorer with a distinguished record, having received the Moat Memorial Award for excellence in conservation report-writing in both 2020 and 2022. Established in 1986, the practice has accrued extensive experience across a diverse portfolio of conservation projects.
The specialism lies in the conservation, restoration, and protective treatment of stained glass and leaded glazing from the 12th through to the 20th centuries. Typical commissions include the meticulous cleaning and preservation of medieval stained glass, the sensitive restoration of finely painted panels from the 17th and 18th centuries, and the structural stabilisation of unstable Victorian glazing. Irrespective of the project's scale or historical significance, the core objective remains the safeguarding of the stained glass or glazing scheme within its architectural context, employing minimal intervention to mitigate further deterioration. Further information and illustrative examples of completed projects are available on their website.
