What do we do?

With almost three decades of combined experience in the trade, Hannah and Kerri have mastered skilled restoration and conservation. They have rescued from neglect beautiful rugs discovered in the grandest of stately homes and the humblest of country cottages and brought them back to life.  They are proud to be one of the few places in the country offering specialised restoration , conservation and cleaning for European and Oriental rugs and carpets.

The Rug & Carpet Studio whom they worked with previously has a reputation  of excellence. In this they share the importance of the quality of their rugs, their specialist knowledge and the services they provide.  This has allowed them to work with owners of historic houses, National Trust properties, university colleges, museums, hotels and private individuals throughout the world.

  • Conservation

    We provide remedial treatment and preventive advice to clients from historic properties, museums, and private collections. As accredited conservators, we offer a broad range of treatment options for both antique and contemporary carpets. We cater to both functional rugs and those on display, with services ranging from robust repairs to supportive treatments and preventive care. Our documentation includes survey assessments, condition and treatment reports, as well as preventive and aftercare advice tailored to each item.

  • Restoration & Repair

    We offer expert restoration services for handmade Oriental and European rugs and carpets, from minor repairs like stabilising damage and rebinding worn side cords to extensive reweaving of large holes. Our aim is always for ensuring minimal intervention and preserving as much of the original textile as possible. Each rug is assessed for its condition, value, and future wear, with all work carried out by hand. We provide advice on underlay and aftercare, and offer on-site assessments, courier services, and preliminary estimates .

  • Consultancy

    We give expert advice, such as preliminary estimates and comprehensive services such as condition reports, treatment proposals, and post-treatment appraisals. Our on-site consultations cover history, condition, treatment options, professional photography for conservation, insurance and sales. We offer response following fire or flood, with research on historical and cultural significance. Services include on-site assessments, guidance on conservation funding, educational lectures and study days.

  • Cleaning & Pest Damage

    We provide comprehensive cleaning for rugs and carpets, including dust extraction, surface wet cleaning, and delicate treatments for fragile textiles. We tailor our services to each individual rug’s condition, offering stain removal, mould treatment, and specialist cleaning for smoke, fire, and flood damage. On-site cleaning is available for delicate damaged carpets. We also advise on routine cleaning, on-going aftercare, and natural insect eradication methods for common pests like clothes moths and carpet beetles.
