I have used Richard regularly . His work is excellent, on time and he always rises to whatever challenges we put before him. He has a good attention to detail and I am happy to recommend him.

We've been working with Richard for several years now, and his responsiveness, advice, attention to detail and the finished product are quite simply the reasons why.

I have nothing but praise for the work done by Richard.

He collected two dirty oil paintings which had been in my family for 65 years or so, and transformed them to their original beauty. Also he sympathetically repaired the damaged frame of the larger of the two and now family and friends are amazed at the detail that has been revealed.

I highly recommend Richard Zahler and his work.

We are extremely impressed with Richard's work. He gives careful and considered thought before starting any project and offers good advice. We then let him get on with it and are never disappointed when the phone call comes to go and collect.

Highly Recommended.

The work that Richard carried out for me was incredibly good.  I was delighted with the result and with the service that was offered.  Should the need arise (and undoubtedly it will, at some stage), I would not hesitate in referring back to him.

Hello Richard – I’m just writing to say how very pleased we are with the work you have recently completed (August 2015), repairing a landscape in oils that we have.  This is the second oil painting you have restored for us, the first being in 1994.  In both cases, the paint had lifted from the canvas in patches, and the repairs, cleaning and renovation you carried out are seamless, maintaining the character of the paintings as far as we can see.

In both cases you carefully described what you were going to do and gave us an estimate for the work.  The work was carried out to the agreed completion date..  Before returning the paintings to us, you clearly explained what you had done and went through any necessary changes to the original work plan.

You have been very approachable and attentive, enabling us to feel confident in your service throughout, and we would certainly recommend you to anyone who is looking for high quality repair and renovation of damaged paintings.

Thank you so much.

Best wishes

I have known Richard for quite a while now and he has restored a number of my paintings some have been relined and some just cleaned always been delighted with the end results and will continue to use his services in the future

Richard has worked on a number of paintings of mine over the past 30 years or so. His work is always of the highest quality.

As a Fine Art auctioneer I am often asked if I know of a professional picture restorer and until I met Richard I was always at a loss as who to suggest. One has to be very careful when entrusting a piece of artwork to a restorer no matter what the value. I have had pictures restored for myself and would have no hesitation in recommending Richard and can safely say that in my twenty five years at Mitchells I have had nothing but positive feedback from our clients.

I have been dealing with Richard for about ten years now, if I ever need a painting restoring, cleaning, or just a general touch up he's the man to turn to. Always highly professional and meticulous in his approach to his understanding of what is needed to achieve the best outcome to each individual work of art. His understanding and dedication to art restoration is second to none and achieved within one's own financial boundaries.
