You receive a written outline of the proposed work, estimated timing and quotation.
The work is completed with a final structural and visual review before return.

We assess moth damage, holes, tears and weakened foundations before recommending stabilisation, reweaving or a conservation-led repair.
Quotations are based on clear photographs followed, where necessary, by a hands-on inspection of the rug, its foundation and the damaged area.

Send photographs and approximate dimensions for an initial review by our London team.
