If you need to conserve interior and exterior woodwork including flooring, architectural joinery, panelling and staircases, fittings or furniture, Vincent can consult with you on how to achieve this and help bring everything back to its former glory.
The historical relevance and restoration of historic woodwork has been Vincent Reed’s passion for over 35 years. In that time he has gained hands-on experience of all types of period properties, from private homes to palaces, as an historic woodwork consultant.
His unrivalled knowledge, experience and expertise has been called upon with confidence by a wide range of clients including Kensington Palace, English Heritage and National Trust properties. He has also worked within UNESCO world heritage sites and privately owned historic properties.
Whatever the size and scale of the project, Vincent brings the same 35 years’ dedication and attention to detail.
Vincent Reed started his career as an antique furniture restorer at the age of 16. Over the last three decades he’s used the same painstaking approach for restoring interior woodwork: “You’d never use a sanding machine on antique furniture. Your period floorboards, staircases and doors deserve the same respect. Stripping or sanding them would destroy their history and value forever.”
