When you entrust a piece of furniture to a conservator/restorer, whether it is 300 or 30 years old, you need to know it will be treated sympathetically, competently and carefully. Unless you have a personal recommendation it is difficult to be sure whether you are handing it over to a skilled craftsman or to an untrained ‘bodger’.

Whilst I cannot comment on the majority of the people who call themselves restorers - or even conservators - I can present my own credentials.

I have been practicing furniture restoration since 1991. I studied for and gained a Diploma of Higher Education in Furniture Restoration (Distinction) then a B.A. Honours Degree in Furniture Conservation (1st class), both awarded by Manchester University. I then worked at a prominent Antique Furniture Restoration company in the centre of Derby for a year before setting up my own Conservation/Restoration business in 1996.

Specialists in Furniture Repairs, Restoration, Antique Furniture Restoration, Guilding and French Polishing. I enjoy furniture enormously. This passion has led me to study for, and acquire, first a Diploma of Higher Education in Furniture Restoration (gained with Distinction) and then a first class Bachelor of Arts Degree in Furniture Conservation and Restoration with Honours, both awarded by Manchester University.

  John stripped, sanded, sealed and finished an oak sideboard that has been in my family for 50 years. It has given it a new lease of life, and we are delighted with it.
