JOHN HUBBARD
Antiques Restoration & Conservation
About us
We are a small dedicated team that prides ourselves on experience, depth of knowledge and teamwork. With over 100 years of combined experience, there is little or nothing that we haven’t encountered.
When dealing with antiques, we pride ourselves on the conservation aspect of our work, ensuring that we only use materials, glues and finishes, that are appropriate to the age of the piece we are working on. This ensures that all our work enhances, not just the appearance of the piece, but also its intrinsic value.
That said, we are equally at home repairing modern and contemporary furniture. Dog chewed furniture legs and flood damage are par for the course in a normal working week. We really can take care of anything!
For free and impartial advice just call John on 01562 701020. The workshop and showroom is open strictly by appointment only Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm
