The incredible Spink & Thackray team combine their incredible talents and unrivalled experience with traditional methods and modern materials, we are able to restore almost any document, journal, binding or book.

We can repair both the paper and the binding, retaining the book’s character while ensuring it is durable and can be read and re-read for many years to come.

Our conservation and restoration services cover all areas, from binding to digitisation where we can scan covers and pages and re-print and re-bind the book or journal.
