Antique Restoration

These guys are just brilliant, there small antiques restoration business is tiny so they carry out all the work on the street under the awning, at all times of the year in all weathers. The quality of their work and the speed of restoration is astonishing. They have deliveries continually all day long and usually repairs and restorations are completed within a day or two tops…I just love walking by their shop and taking a look at their work, the quality and finish is excellent and the prices they charge the antique dealers is small…. Still they enjoy their work, their faces are usually filled by smiles, they enjoy the environment and freedom that they work in and they make an honest living, what more could you ask for!

  Hi Sonny, They work for private clients and antique dealers, they also take in items that refuse collectors find on the streets, they buy, refurbish and the re-sell 🙂
