Laboratory analysis – paint              Identifying paint types and colours.                                                                                                                                               Recreation of heritage colour schemes.                                                                                                                                          High level of magnification capable of ascertaining subtleties between various layers including prime coats.                                       Destruction of sample; requires specialist analysis noting natural factors such as fading, colour shifting, yellowing and chalking.
Laboratory analysis – dendrochronology   Dating and identifying wood species                                                                                                                                                Matching new timber to existing.                                                                                                                                                Identification of timber is very accurate.                                                                                                         Slow; complicated in terms of requiring extensive data for climatic conditions, tree ring samples and requirements for samples.

Laboratory analysis – mortar and plaster   Establishing the composition of mortar and plaster.   Matching new mortar or plaster to existing.   Matching with existing mortar and plaster ensures the final appearance and strength of new materials integrates successfully.   Destruction of original sample; identified components may no longer be available.
