Restoration Information is available for your Victorian Greenhouse or Conservatory Restoration
When we undertook our first Victorian greenhouse restoration in 1999 there was no information available. There still isn't. We've always thought that there are too many great Victorian structures of all kinds, shapes and sizes that could so easily be lost forever. Our own greenhouses would not have lasted another winter had we not at least tried to preserve them. The big institutions and trusts are all too often looking at the larger estates and largely ignore the many 'little treasures' that abound.
We are attempting to create a knowledge base that will both encourage and inform others, from which everyone may benefit and thereby save even more Victorian items that would otherwise slip under the institutional radar. Victorian greenhouses and conservatories are fascinating buildings and it would be a sad loss to see them end up in a skip just for the want of some tender loving care.
For many years Mike (muddywellies) has happily replied to people's private greenhouse restoration enquiries, indeed he has both enjoyed (and been saddened) by the huge variety of run down structures both in England and abroad that are crying out for even the most modest help.
However, in 2006 Mike discovered his free help was being abused by restoration and conservation trusts, as well as by architectural offices. All of whom were happy to receive answers to their technical queries so their paying client would benefit, but none would provide even so much as a reciprocal web link in return. The reason was obvious. In late 2006 Mike made the necessary web changes so that he is now compensated for others using his practical restoration knowledge.
Those who have read this far, will doubtless agree, that confidence can be a huge stumbling block to getting started. It is for this reason that you can obtain full details of Mike's Victorian Greenhouse Restoration Guide.
For the very first time subscribers can obtain FULL details and step-by-step photos showing both of our restorations and how we overcame the problems that are often encountered restoring a Victorian greenhouse or conservatory.
It will save you a small fortune.
Even if you don't have a restoration of your own, buying the guide is like buying a book, and will provide an open window in to the fascinating story as to how our restorations were completed. In addition, every purchaser has free access to a private and hidden Victorian Restoration forum where member's projects can be posted, viewed and ideas exchanged.
Mike is keen to emphasize that he is still willing to help with advice based upon his experience but only through the hidden forum.
Do Remember: Victorian conservatories often share the same structure as Victorian greenhouses and as such the information contained here can often be applied equally.
