BRONZE MAINTENANCE OF BUILDINGS

PRESERVE THE BRONZE, PROTECT THE BUILDING

If your building includes architectural bronze ie. doors, facades, cladding, or decorative metalwork — then a regular bronze maintenance routine is essential. Without consistent care, bronze surfaces are vulnerable to corrosion, staining, and costly degradation.

At Antique Bronze, we offer tailored bronze maintenance programs designed specifically for the challenges of your building. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, our team focuses our maintenance efforts on the areas most at risk or showing early signs of wear. This targeted intervention prevents small issues from becoming widespread problems — and avoids the need for expensive restoration works down the line.

Your program will involve regular visits to react to common challenges facing bronze on buildings such as window cleaning, pavement washing, salting and contact with the public. We become as committed to the building as you are and make it our business to notice small problems regarding the bronze, and inform you of them.

Often we are called in after another provider has carried out a “bronze clean” and it has gone “horribly” wrong. They have cleaned much more than the bronze, they’ve stripped the intended patina.

Our company has been in business since 1955 – we are trained, experienced, have a highly qualified staff many holding degrees and masters, we are involved in the conservation community and Lucy Branch, one of our Directors, is accredited by The Institute of Conservation. This accreditation means that Lucy Branch and those working alongside her uphold the principles of ICON – and conduct their work in keeping with their code of conduct. We will NEVER damage your bronze.

Bronze Maintenance on Buildings Maintains High Standards – Selfridges, London

MAINTAINING BRONZE, MAINTAINING STANDARDS

Many providers refer to “bronze maintenance” when what they really mean is bronze cleaning. While cleaning is a vital step — removing dirt, grime, and urban pollutants like urine residues — it’s only part of a proper maintenance strategy.

For bronze features on buildings, cleaning alone is not enough.

To maintain a consistent appearance and extend the life of the metal, cleaning must be integrated with localised restoration. We deliver both services within a single works package, ensuring that your bronze retains its finish and structural integrity over time.
