Personal Service
We offer a truly tailored and personal service with our valuers visiting clients and discussing possible sale of goods in the comfort of their own surroundings. Advice is given on what items should or should not be offered at auction.

They are collected from clients by personal arrangement, delivered to auction, catalogued and lotted with photographs if appropriate. Our collection services are charged at a local rate only and we will be happy to supply you with a no-obligation quote.
