What Our Clients Say

All three pictures arrived safely; thank you for packing them so well. We are bowled over with the restorations you have achieved for us.

Private client

Firstly, can I just say what an absolutely superb job you have done with my railway signal diagram, it is nothing less than brilliant and worth every penny of the restoration costs in my opinion.

Private client

The best cup of tea I’ve ever had in my life

Lancashire art courier

Quite frankly I am amazed at what you have achieved, given the derelict state of the poster when you took it in, and I consider the restoration work to be of the highest order.

Private client

My colleagues and I are very impressed with the replica Charter. The document itself is an excellent reproduction, and the seal is very eye-catching. The mount and frame are also very
carefully made (I love how the document appears to float). We really appreciate all the hard work that has gone into it.

Archivist, Royal Hospital for Neuro – Disability

The artworks look great and I am really pleased with the end result. The lithograph looks brilliant. How did you manage to get the water damage out?

Private client

I must express my delight in the job you have done on my map. It is back in position looking magnificent, and I look at it without that dread of what damp and gravity might have been doing to it over the years.

Private client

A huge thanks from me – I’m really pleased with the results, and it was brilliant to be able to share the work with visitors. I know the team enjoyed working with you both, too.

House manager, National Trust

I am exceedingly pleased with the work you did.

Private client

You did an excellent job of reproducing a framed copy of our Royal Charter complete with a wax seal even though our wax seal was very damaged. It now hangs in our corporate box where it
looks very impressive to guests of the Hall.
