Paterson Restorations

Simon rebuilt and restored an old medieval Canterbury chair which I bought from Ely Cathedral many years ago. It is a wonderful job, and the old oak chair now shines with a deep lustre and has pride of place in my dining room.

I gave Simon a very old Tantalus from around 1930 that had been in the family all my life. Simon was superb from start to finish. The item was in very poor condition when i passed it over to him. Simon brought the Tantalus back to it's original look and also restored the tray that the Tantalus stood on. I could not believe the high standard of work Simon achieved and would recommend him to anyone in the future.

I have been using Paterson Restorations since around 2005 and wouldn't go anywhere else with my furniture ..... great work and very reasonable prices.

I bought a well-worn Victorian writing slope at auction with a view to having it restored to usable condition. It had quite a few "issues", both functional and cosmetic. I asked Simon to take a look at it and was astounded at what he managed to do. He replaced the hinges with period items, found a key for the lock, fitted a new leather skiver, and restored the finish to showroom condition. Everything now works properly and looks superb, including the secret drawers which I had no idea existed. Simon is a true craftsman and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Simon beautifully restored a family piece: a mahogany glass fronted cabinet which was in need of some love and dedication to bring it back to life. Simon has done this and more. Communication 10/10. A lovely man who produces excellent results. Will recommend and certainly return in the future.
