Restoration & Rewiring

Careful work, by hand, on lighting of every period.

From Georgian crystal to mid-century brass, every piece is assessed, restored and rewired by the same hands — then returned ready to light.

Chandeliers & pendants

Brought down, taken apart, made whole again.

Crystal, glass and metal chandeliers are dismantled and cleaned piece by piece, rewired throughout and repaired where arms, drops or fittings have failed. Where a chandelier needs to suit a new room, we can resize it.

  • Dismantling and hand cleaning
  • Full rewiring and new lamp holders
  • Repairs to arms, frames and drops
  • Resizing and height adjustment
  • Removal and rehanging

Wall lights & sconces

Pairs and sets, restored to match.

Wall lights often come in pairs or sets that need to work and look the same. We restore and rewire them together, so every light in a room glows alike.

  • Rewiring and new back plates
  • Matching pairs and sets
  • Repairs to arms and shade holders
  • IP44 / IP65 upgrades (below)

Safe to switch on, true to how it was made.

Old flex, tired switches and loose fittings are replaced, and bases, stems and mechanisms are repaired with care — keeping the character that made the piece worth saving.

  • New flex, plugs and switches
  • New lamp holders
  • Repairs to bases, stems and joints
  • Repairs to shade carriers and fittings

A specialist service

IP44 and IP65 upgrades for vintage wall lights.

Most vintage sconces were never designed for moisture. We upgrade original pieces so they can be used in bathrooms, shower rooms and damp areas — where a reproduction is usually the only option.

IP44

Protected against splashing water — for bathroom zones away from direct spray.

IP65

Protected against water jets and dust — for showers and wet areas.

From your ceiling to the workshop, and back.

Large chandeliers are taken down safely, packed, collected and — once restored — delivered and installed again. We collect and deliver across England.

Questions

Before you send a piece.

Can my piece be saved?
Most can. Send a few photos through the quote form — including any damage and the fittings — and we will tell you honestly what is possible before any work starts.
How long does a restoration take?
Every piece is different, so we assess each one first — its condition, the work involved and any parts that need to be sourced. Once we have seen it, we give you an estimated timescale together with your quote, before any work starts.
Do you collect and deliver?
Yes. We collect and deliver across England, or you can drop pieces off at the workshop.
Can you upgrade a vintage wall light for a bathroom?
Yes — we upgrade original wall lights to IP44 and IP65 standards. Tell us where the light will go and we will advise on the right rating.
Do you work with interior designers and dealers?
Yes, much of our work is for the trade. See Trade accounts.

Have a piece that needs attention?
