Repair and Restoration

We offer a comprehensive range of conservation and restoration services, from small fringe repairs to large scale re-weaves and cut and shutting of very damaged carpets. Smaller works are carried out here, with bigger, more complex jobs being sent to Turkey or Iran. With over 30 years’ experience, we guarantee top quality work at competitive prices.

Restoration costs

By far the most common work is conservation of ends and sides. End finishes and side cords wear over time, before breaking, at this point, knots start falling off the structure and disappearing up the vacuum cleaner! The trick is to have these areas conserved before this happens. Side cords are made good and re-wrapped and ends are stripped back to the nearest good weft and are either blanket stitched or interlined, depending on what type of rug it is. This work typically costs £50 per meter, though super fine or particularly tough rugs can be more.

All other projects are quoted on a job by job basis, and require thorough examination before pricing, although it is often possible to provide a provisional figure from images if required.

We have worked on thousands of weaving over the years including some of the most important examples in every genre. All works supervised by us and guaranteed to be of the highest quality. NO JOB EITHER TOO BIG OR TOO SMALL!

If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email me personally. I am always on hand to offer free advice on all hand woven items.
