Frequently Asked
Restoration questions
Photographs are useful for an initial opinion, but some repairs require a hands-on inspection before we confirm the final scope.
Can damaged rug fringes be repaired?
Yes. Loose, worn or missing fringe can often be secured, rebuilt or replaced after an in-person condition assessment.
Do you repair moth damage and holes?
We assess moth damage, holes, tears and weakened foundations before recommending stabilisation, reweaving or a conservation-led repair.
How is a restoration quotation prepared?
Quotations are based on clear photographs followed, where necessary, by a hands-on inspection of the rug, its foundation and the damaged area.
Should the rug be cleaned before repair?
That depends on its condition and the type of work required. We will advise whether specialist cleaning should happen before or after structural repair.
