    How long does the restoration process take?

    The restoration process can vary depending on several factors, including the extent of damage and the type of items being restored. At The Bookends Bindery, we prioritise quality over speed. Therefore, while some simple restorations may take only a few days, more complex projects could take much longer.

    During our initial consultation, we will provide an estimated timeline based on our assessment of your documents. We believe in keeping our clients informed every step of the way and will communicate any changes to the timeline promptly. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we strive to ensure that you receive your restored items as soon as possible without compromising on quality.
