honestly i think his prices and timescale are reasonable, you're lucky you live in london, i have added time/costs of packing and shipping both ways and hes still cheaper and 5 times faster than the top restorer over here. What is it you need sorted?

prints restored london, by sierrahotel on Mar 30, 2014 18:15:53 GMT 1, i was getting stuff flattened/ floated by him 12 months ago and it was only taking 4/5 weeks - has something radical happened since to explain the huge price increase? i suspect they're just not after individual mini jobs, rather get the big scale restoration commissions as detailed on their site. was just curious if anyone had heard from the horse's mouth.

prints restored london, by 2badmice on Jun 14, 2014 13:43:06 GMT 1, I have used Graham but it was not great job (flattening); he left some marks on the print probably from the press by the look of it, so would appreciate another conserver if anyone knows of one. He has a monopoly at the moment also, although cheap he has a bad opinion of street work and I don't believe he has respect when working on what he regards as inferior art.

www.reynoldspaperconservation.co.uk
This woman works as a conservator for the Museum of London see her site. I had some prints a couple of years ago that were damaged by Cadogan Tate the art shippers that I bought at auction. They wanted to send them to her for repair. As it happened after a big row they actually paid me my cost of the prints etc. so I have never had any contact with this lady but they did send me her CV which was very impressive so may be worth talking to. She lists Banksy prints on there etc
no idea on costs etc or timescales

I was thinking about an having an original by Mark Ainsworth I have restored, suffered a lot through the years and needs some tlc.
