Art restoration for paintings and sculptures

It depends on each artwork, but we have a fair and systematic approach to quoting every kind of restoration job. For paintings, we consider size, medium, condition, time required, and materials. For sculptures, we look at on-site versus off-site work, access requirements, any special needs such as lifts or scaffolding, time, and materials. We are typically very competitive, and clients value our high-touch service.

Yes. We work with corporations and MCSTs across Singapore to restore and maintain artworks on their premises. We are also engaged to perform regular maintenance on various terms, for example every six months or annually.

Generally yes. It is best to share a few photos with us by email or WhatsApp. It is a common issue and we have successfully repaired many such works over the years, from transport and contractor damage to dropped, snagged, or brittle aged pieces.

If your artwork is Chinese ink on paper, we have a lot of experience removing mould spots and would be happy to help. If it is photography or prints on paper, this is not something we can assist with.

Yes. We provide ongoing maintenance for a number of clients in Singapore.

No. The assessment, the treatment, and the installation are carried out by our own team, whether the work is done on site or back in our workshop. Where a piece calls for a particular specialism we bring in a guest conservator to work alongside us, but the job is not parcelled out to third parties and responsibility for it stays with us throughout.

Yes. Asian Art Platform is bizSAFE Level 3 certified by the Workplace Safety and Health Council, which means our risk management system has been independently audited and approved. Many building owners, MCSTs, and facilities managers require bizSAFE Level 3 before contractors can work on their premises, so this is usually one less hurdle when you appoint us.

Yes. Restoring and maintaining large or outdoor sculptures often means working from ladders, scaffolding, or an elevated work platform, and our team holds current Work at Height certification for this. We do not operate boom lifts or scissor lifts ourselves, so where a job calls for one the machine is run by a certified operator. We carry out a risk assessment before every on-site job and work to a written safety method statement, which we are happy to share with your building management.

Yes. We routinely provide our bizSAFE Level 3 certificate, risk assessments, safe work procedures, insurance details, and worker certifications as part of the permit-to-work process. Let us know what your building requires and we will prepare it before we arrive.
