Surveys.
It is usual when buying a large antique chandelier or piece of antique lighting to have the position surveyed to ensure that the fitting will be trouble free. Survey charges are £45.00 per hour including traveling time plus VAT.
Collection and delivery
If your chandelier is being collected by our carriers for antique chandelier restoration please advise first if you require them to pack as this will take additional time and has to be charged for.
Antique lighting has to be carefully packaged and cannot be collected like a piece of furniture.
Deliveries of chandeliers and Antique Lighting to be fitted by others will include the cost of crating etc. All Antique lighting collections and deliveries are carried out by Steve Baldwin Carriers. Basic costs start at £125.00 per journey.
