Insurance claims for antique restoration and furniture repair

At Snelling Associates we are the perfect professionals to undertake insurance claims for antique restoration and furniture repair following an insurance claim. Indeed, a good proportion of our furniture repair in Surrey involves the restoration of antiques following damage – whether by impact (deliberate or otherwise!) or through the effects of fire or water.
