"We used  LT Conservation to repair and clean 30 years of nicotine and
grime from an oil painting dated around the 1930s. We are very pleased
with the result. The damage has been invisibly repaired and the colours
brought to life. The painting is as the artist imagined it. We are very
pleased with the result and would recommend Laura to anyone. It is also
a pleasure to find an enthusiastic restorer in the Tonbridge area."
