Just a few of the clients we have worked for

Our services

Oil Paintings

Our experts will work their magic with an extensive range of conservation methods to clean and repair almost any damage to oil and acrylic paintings on canvas and panels.

Paper conservation

Works on paper, whether a watercolour, drawing, etching, print, map or a beloved poster, are at risk from tears, holes, mould, insects, foxing and staining. No need to worry as our team are on hand to clean, restore and conserve them.

Miniature restoration

Due to the small size and delicate nature of miniature portraits, we are often asked whether anything can be done to restore them, you can be assured that we can – and have carried out miniature restorations using custom-size tools.

Furniture

Our team of specialist craftsmen are highly skilled in all areas and techniques of antique furniture restoration and conservation.

Ceramics and decorative objects

We stabilise cracks, realign broken fragments and remould missing pieces. Then retouch to match the original materials and decoration, and it's unlikely anyone would know it's been smashed.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY...

Excellent experience from start to finish. Gave me the confidence to hand over my much-loved piece. Very personalised service.

Rhona Chapman

The dramatic improvement brought about by the cleaning and re-varnishing, together with the stabilisation and re-gilding of the plaster frames, was extraordinary. The quotation, collection and return were all accomplished professionally. It was a pleasure using your company.

Bernard Chudley, Cornwall

Our brand new painting was damaged during shipping, Fine Art Restoration did an unbelievable job to fix it. The four-inch-long rip has disappeared. We are over the moon and totally impressed. They made it completely hassle-free with the pick and drop service. I cannot recommend them more. The restorer just simply did an unbelievable job.

Mariam Majid

I really appreciate the restoration and framing and framing you did for me. The result is very pleasing and I am sure that it will look terrific in the Royal Dragoon Guards Museum in York. My wife, who is the granddaughter of John, is also delighted.

Ralph Murphy

An excellent service carried out with minimum fuss, on time and on budget. I would definitely use again.
