Paintings can deteriorate in various ways, and Recognising the signs of damage early is essential for effective intervention. Painting repair in London addresses a range of problems that can affect artworks over time, from environmental factors to structural issues. One of the most frequent concerns is paint loss. This occurs when the paint layer separates from the canvas or panel beneath, often due to changes in temperature or humidity. The affected areas may appear as small flakes or larger sections of missing paint that expose the underlying surface. Canvas tears are another common issue. These can result from accidental damage or the natural weakening of the fabric over time. Even minor tears can expand if left untreated, potentially causing significant harm to the composition.
