RUG CLEANING & REPAIRS

Rug Washing - £10 per rug (£5 for neck covers)
Re-proofing - £10 per rug (£5 for neck covers)

Payment in advance, please (when the rugs are dropped off for cleaning)

Repairs are costed individually - payment when rugs are collected.

We are happy to issue quotes prior to work being started, and recommend that quotes are requested in cases where the repair may not be economical.

Please bring your rugs individually bagged, with the front buckles accessible. (Numbered tags will be attached to the front buckle to ensure identification throughout the washing process)

Please note that rugs must be clean before any repairs will be attempted.

REPAIRS TO LEATHER GOODS

Are carried out by a member of the Society of Master Saddlers. Again, we are happy to provide quotes before carrying out work – please ask when leaving your items with us.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT ALL ITEMS BROUGHT IN FOR REPAIR ARE CLEAN. Thank you.

TACK MARKING/SECURITY

We can offer "tack tagging" for saddles - this involves inserting a tiny micro-chip (similar to that used in animals) which allocates a unique number to each saddle. This is registered with a central database to allow traceability of recovered saddles. The saddle is also marked with a non removable sticker (normally in the gullet) to hopefully deter thieves.

Did you know that, if a stolen goods are recovered, but the police cannot identify to whom they belong, they have no alternative but to return the stolen goods to the thief! Don't let this happen. Tack tagging is £19.95 for the first saddle, and £9.95 for each subsequent saddle tagged at the same time.

We can also postcode leather saddles by stamping - please call the shop and arrange an appointment when Sue is on duty. A donation to one of our appointment charities would be appreciated.

SPECIAL ORDERS

Special orders: we are very happy to order in non-stock items for our customers, providing they are from suppliers that we normally deal with. Please call in or telephone with your requirements.
