The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) believes old buildings have a future. From cottages to castles and from churches to cathedrals we are here to help buildings and the people who care for them. Through our unique training schemes, courses, advice and research we help people put our expertise into practice.

Founded by William Morris in 1877, the SPAB was established in response to the work of Victorian architects whose enthusiasm for harmful restoration caused irreparable damage. Today the SPAB encourages excellence in new design to enrich and complement the built historic environment. We train new generations of architectural professionals and building craftspeople to shape this landscape with sensitivity and skill, and we play a statutory role as adviser to local planning authorities. In our casework we campaign actively to protect old buildings at risk.

We work to conserve the rich, historical legacy of old buildings and homes in London. With our rich stock of architectural salvage including doors, fireplaces, mouldings, reclaimed flooring and ironwork, we assist individuals and businesses in finding and restoring reclaimed building material and architectural salvage that works with and often matches the original building's design and materials.

Born in London in 1965 into a family of artists and engineers, I originally trained at the Hereford School of Blacksmithing before mastering my craft working with several artist blacksmiths in the UK, Poland, and Portugal. I subsequently ran my own workshop/studio in the UK for many years, creating contemporary and traditional metal work for a wide range of businesses and individual clients, before relocating to South-west France in order to expand my studio and develop my own work further.

My work combines traditional and contemporary techniques with engineering precision and an artist's eye, to create sculptural and flowing metalwork as exclusive 'one-off' pieces forming anything from a small sculpture to a spiral staircase or large gate. I enjoy working with a wide range of metallic materials including iron in its wrought form, steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, bronze and titanium, as well as with other materials such as glass, stone and wood depending on the design.

I love to design, to play with an idea, shape or form, and then look at its functionality and turn it upside down. Why should a gate have a four-sided frame? The form should be an integral part of the working of the piece.

My interests lie in our engineering heritage, the Industrial Revolution, the relationship between our our rural past and our technological future, and in the amazing beauty found in nature. Traditional techniques such as mortice and tenon joints, punched-through bars and rivets may seem like analogue processes in a digital world, but I believe it is important to see the method of joining the parts to create the whole. Just as with a visible stitch in clothing, I also like to see form and function go hand in hand with line and proportion.

Ashley Sands and Robert Randall set up Sands & Randall in 2000. We met while studying at City & Guilds London Art School, Kennington, and we undertake a wide variety of projects, ranging from traditional to contemporary woodcarving, producing reproduction and original pieces. We bring a wide range of skills and experience to our work: Robert has a background in cabinet-making (he is a graduate of the London College of Furniture) and Ashley has worked for his family firm of specialist restorers and mural painters. We share a strong interest in both historic and contemporary art, and are passionate about the English woodcarving tradition.

Our work encompasses architectural wood carving, historic restoration, gilding and new commissions. We work with many private and public bodies, including interior designers, artists, antique dealers, restoration and conservation firms, architects, museums and Royal palaces. Our clients include the National Trust, English Heritage, the Victoria & Albert Museum, Windsor Castle, English Heritage, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, the Geffrye Museum, Thomas Heatherwick Studios, St James’s and Buckingham Palaces, Westlands architectural salvage company, St Paul’s Cathedral and other Wren churches in the City of London. We have recently been creating sculptures designed by the Brazilian artist Tonico Lemos Aud, restoring the library at the Reform Club in Pall Mall and working on a new capital for the front of Kenwood House in Hampstead.

We like to use native, indigenous woods, such as lime and oak, and enjoy creating our own designs for specific projects, which we often model in clay before carving them in wood. We are expert in gilding and polychroming as well as finishing the wood with suitable oils, stains and waxes. We have strong links with colleagues in related trades and professions, from stonecarvers to muralists, so can advise on a wide range of work. We enjoy the variety of our work, and are open to all kinds of projects. We are based in London and Bristol, with our main workshop in Tottenham, north London.


Ashley Sands - I studied A levels and a foundation art course in Bristol then joined my father’s business of picture conservation at the International Fine Arts Conservation Studios. Here I spent a few years learning various trades in the restoration field including picture lining, architectural gilding, paint finishes and fine decoration. I worked on a variety of projects including The Cubed Rooms at Wilton House, Salisbury, Nottingham Catholic Cathedral, The Gaiety Theatre, Isle of Man and The Hay House, Georgia, USA, as well as painting restoration at Hampton Court, Kensington Palace and The Royal Academy.

In 1994 I went into further education at The City and Guilds of London Art School, where I studied conservation for one year and then traditional woodcarving and gilding for a further two years. Both Robert and I graduated in 1997 and we set up our business together the following year.

In 2004 I went to Gibraltar and spent two years living there and in Spain. I joined the Gibraltar Arts and Crafts Centre, taught evening classes and showed in exhibitions. I returned to live in Somerset with workshops based there and in London.

I often work alongside my former colleagues at IFACS and Bush and Berry Conservation Studios on restoration projects including The Reform Club, Pall Mall, Worcester Guild Hall and Wellington School Chapel in Somerset.

I also work with my brothers Mark and Corin (www.corinsands-art.de), who are both specialist painters and artists who work internationally. We have worked on restoration projects together including Avebury Manor and Windsor Castle.


Robert Randall - After leaving school in North London I began a three year cabinet making apprenticeship, proceeding from there to The London College of Furniture where I studied furniture making and design. On completion of the course I worked for Bim Burton as a designer and furniture maker.

Drawing has always been important to me and I continued to draw throughout this period at this time mainly from the model. The combination of the two practices led me to carving and the City and Guilds School of Art. My furniture making experience and knowledge supported the discipline of carving and guilding. It was here at the school I met Ashley Sands and after leaving the school we formed our company Sands and Randall. In the last 15 years our commissions have been extensive and varied from chainsaw carving at the Folkstone Triennale to restoration at the Reform Club Pall Mall, work for Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, restoration in Royal Palaces and to collaborating on work with contemporary artists.

I teach as senior carving lecture at the City and Guilds where I have been for the past three years.

Master stone carver Simon Smith designs, models and carves marble and stone for many varied commissions. From his London studio he undertakes stone carving projects ranging from restoration carving of historic ornament and figurative carving to contemporary sculpture and memorials. He has been commissioned by Liverpool City Council, The Royal borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey and the National Trust among others, as well as many private individuals.

“I aim for my work to appear free and effortless, within a framework of craftsmanship and integrity.”

“I like to work with my clients, whether they be a committee on a large project or an individual with a deeply personal headstone, trying to understand what they hope for, and then try to express it in a sculptural form. If it’s a statue, I try to capture the humanity of the subject, giving the piece an expression and spirit. If the work is restoration carving, I conduct extensive research before trying to carve with the style and rhythms of the original.”

Simon Smith has worked with stone for more than thirty years. He served his apprenticeship as a stonemason at Woburn Abbey. Simon then went on to study Stone Carving and Sculpture at the City and Guilds of London Art School.

Please contact Simon to discuss any stone carving, sculpture, memorial, headstone, restoration project or anything other project you may be considering.

Tatra Glass was formed in 1990 specifically to import antique stained glass, glass bullions and glass rondels (or glass roundels) from Poland.

We now have a stock holding of over 6000 square metres of stained glass, consisting of over 160 stained glass colours, 30,000 glass rondels and 500 glass bullions.

A glazing division, Quorn Glass, was formed in 1992, which in 1994-1995 re-glazed over 2000 square metres of clear antique restoration glass in Somerset House, London.

New premises were purchased in 1999 together with a glazing company in Loughborough, and our glazing division is now known as Quorn and Loughborough Glass. We also became a member of the Glass and Glazing Federation.

We now have a stained glass factory of over 10,000 square feet, with a large stained glass showroom displaying the full range of antique glass, coloured glass and stained glass for customers or architects to view.

We also stock Schott heritage range of glass and can provide heritage double glazed units – please look at our Restoration page for details.

The museum was set up in 1977 in order to rescue from demolition the abandoned ancient church of St Mary's which is the burial place of John Tradescant, the first great gardener and plant-hunter in British history. His tomb is the centrepiece of a knot garden planted with the flowers which grew in his London garden four centuries ago.

In 2008 the interior was transformed into a centre for exhibitions and events by the construction of contemporary gallery spaces. Three exhibitions each year explore the making of British gardens, and a programme of over 30 talks and interviews celebrates heroes and heroines from the forgotten plant-hunters and gardeners of the past to the designers and writers in fashion today.

The Garden Museum is next door to Lambeth Palace, sitting on the bank of the Thames looking across to Parliament. We are a ten minute walk from Vauxhall, Westminster and Lambeth North stations.

All visitors, including Friends of the Garden Museum, must book a ticket online ahead of your visit. Before you visit please read our Visitors’ Charter and Q&As for the measures we’ve put in place to ensure your visit to the Museum is safe and enjoyable.

W. Thomas Restorations was formed in the late 1920’s by William Thomas Oatway and became a limited company in 1958. Working almost exclusively for the thriving antiques trade the company became a leading authority on the restoration of carved wood and gilded furniture and ornaments.

In 1986 the company was taken over by Partridge Fine Arts, who were at the time the world’s foremost antique dealers. William (Bill) Thomas remained with the business as a consultant until his death in 1992.

This new period led to the company taking on a more varied client list and some large projects. Restoration and re-gilding at Althorp was followed by contracts to restore suites of giltwood furniture from the Mansion House, Alnwick Castle and Downing Street. The catastrophic fires at both Uppark House and Windsor Castle saw us restore and meticulously replace many lost decorations.

The work at Windsor was so successful that the Queen and the Queen Mother both made private visits to our workshops to see the restoration in progress. We continued to restore further rooms at Windsor undamaged by the fire and in 2003 were awarded the Royal Warrant from Her Majesty the Queen. We continue to carry out work for the Royal Collection.

Ray Dudman joined W. Thomas Restorations as an apprentice woodcarver in 1974. Ten years later he was appointed a director and after thirty six years with the company he became the new owner in 2010. Three of our team of craftsmen and women joined as apprentices at sixteen years of age and have served more than 30 years each with the company. In April 2016 with the help of funding from the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST), we have been able to take on our first apprentice woodcarver this century.

Although specialising in woodcarving and gilding the company has expanded its repertoire with the addition of a cabinet maker, polisher and paint specialist all working in-house and upholsterers and metal workers as sub-contractors. We are now able to take on almost every kind of restoration work and have the ability to assemble a highly skilled team to tackle most contracts.

Gilding and Woodcarving Restoration & Conservation Specialists:

- The company has been involved in many important restoration projects, including work at Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, Uppark, Mansion House, The Wallace Collection and with leading antique dealers in England and America.

- W Thomas Restorations Ltd also make reproductions to the same exacting standards as their 18th century counterparts and carry out commissions to copy or design giltwood mirrors and ornaments.

Everyone has driven or walked past a forlorn and unloved historic building at some time. You may have wondered why it isn’t being used or why someone doesn’t do something with it. The answer is often complex and the solutions equally so. It takes a special group of people to identify a way forward and restore these buildings to the benefit of the community.

Scottish Historic Buildings Trust (SHBT) is a dynamic and innovative charity that does just that. It is dedicated to regenerating significant historic buildings for the benefit of others throughout the whole of Scotland.

Wood Carving and Furniture - Over thirty years’ experience as a highly skilled woodcarver and furniture maker has led to Julian’s deep understanding of his medium, wood. This, combined with a lifelong affinity with nature, has resulted in the creation of beautiful sculptures. These capture and use the natural quality and character of the wood, translating into fluid and tactile forms. His wide-ranging drawing and design skills have enabled him to produce personalised woodcarvings and furnishings which reflect the lifestyle and passions of the client.

Much of Julian’s work is commissioned by private clients all over the world and entails working with top interior designers, furniture companies and architects, ranging from classical to contemporary designs. He produces highly original pieces, often inspired by the Art Nouveau period, Islamic culture and great names such as Chippendale and William Kent, among others. Another influence is one of Julian’s favourite periods, the 18th Century, with its lavishly carved Venetian furniture, French chairs and English chinoiserie, of which he also makes meticulous copies that can be ultimately enhanced by the use of the finest gilding, painting and marbling, polishing and upholstery.

Julian’s work encompasses tables, consoles, chairs, settees, mirrors, chandeliers, stools, lamps, lighting, sculptures

Julian is a Member of the Master Carvers’ Association. Please click on the membership logo (below) to see Julian’s page at the MCA.

Painting - Having drawn and painted all his life and coming from a farming background, Julian had readily available models of cows, calves and horses on his doorstep. Having studied agriculture after school, Julian’s artistic leanings eventually took him to art college and then on to two and a half years with a master carver in High Wycombe. This ultimately led him to setting up his carving, furniture and sculpture business.

For a long time, Julian has had a desire to develop his equestrian art, which has sprung from a love of horses, especially racing. Julian has ridden most of his life and spent probably the best part of twenty five years in his spare time riding out for numerous racing yards, mainly National Hunt and friends’ point-to-pointers, and for one season he raced his own pointer.

Julian finds the scope with these animals complements his interest in painting landscapes and he now include horses in them, and enjoys depicting the hugely colourful racing scene.

Julian is a Friend of the Society of Equestrian Artists (SEA). Please click on the membership logo (below) to see Julian’s page at the SEA.

We specialise in the conservation, restoration and protection of stained glass and leaded glazing from the 12th Century to the 20th Century. Typical jobs may involve the cleaning and protection of medieval stained glass; the restoration of finely painted stained glass of the 17th and 18th centuries, or the stabilisation of loose or bulging Victorian windows.

Whatever the scale or historic significance of a job, our aim is to safeguard the stained glass or glazing scheme within its architectural setting, limiting intervention and preventing further deterioration.

Jim Budd is an ICON accredited conservator-restorer and winner of the 2020 Moat Memorial Award for excellence in conservation report-writing.

Conservation Projects - Over 32 years in practice we have worked on a wide range of conservation projects which has led to the team gaining an excellent reputation for successfully undertaking specialist work and has led to long term relationships with many of our clients. We pride ourselves on our site-fixing work ensuring that all work is sympathetically installed, particularly within an historic context where traditional materials and methods are employed.

Protective glazing for deteriorating stained glass - The deterioration of glass (particularly medieval glasses) and its delicate painted surfaces is exacerbated by the presence of moisture both from the elements and from condensation. Corrosion processes of a window can be halted by the introduction of ventilated protective glazing. We have been designing, manufacturing and installing environmental protective glazing systems for over 20 years.

Surveys and Reports - We undertake methodological condition surveys which analyse the condition of and provide conservation options for either an individual window or an entire glazing scheme. Fully illustrated reports are made for diocesan faculty-applications and grant-applications to funding bodies, including the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Churches Buildings Council and The Glaziers Trust.

Repair of damaged stained glass - Stained glass may be damaged by accident or by vandalism. It is our aim to restore what has been lost by repair, or replacement if necessary, using the same materials and techniques used in the original window. Where possible in-situ repairs are carried out.
