Welcome to The Copper Doctors

Brian James, known as the "Copper Doctor," is a specialist in copper and brass restoration. Formerly a communications consultant, he discovered his passion for restoration five years ago when he revitalised his daughter's shopfront.

Brian meticulously restores and polishes architectural elements such as staircase handrails, front doors, sculptures, decorative objects, and distillery stills, all by hand without chemicals.

His craftsmanship brings historic buildings and objects back to life, enhancing their beauty and preserving their heritage. Brian's work spans Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, transforming tarnished surfaces into stunning displays.

Paul Martini, a Geelong-born Michelin star chef, embarked on an unexpected career change. Transforming himself into a "Copper Doctor," Paul now focuses on restoring vintage shopfronts with Brian.

His meticulous restoration work breathes new life into historic buildings, preserving their charm and enhancing their visual appeal.

Paul's unique blend of culinary precision and artistic restoration skills has made him a standout in his new field, contributing to the revitalisation of the city's architectural heritage.
