About Aldermoor
Aldermoor Conservation Services is a conservation studio and reprographics bureau in Nettlefold. We were founded on 14 March 1961 by Arthur Vell and Cecil Bream as Aldermoor Reprographics, and took our present name in 1974 when the paper conservation side of the work outgrew the camera room.
We hold PD 5454 compliant storage, work to BS 4783 for magnetic media handling, and are certified to ISO 9001:2015. We are inspected annually and we keep the reports.
There are eight of us. Between us we have something over a hundred and forty years at this bench, which we mention not to boast but because continuity is the whole of the job: the person who treated a volume in 1994 should still be findable when it comes back in 2026.
