UK-wide restoration directory
Every restoration specialist you need, in one place
Classic cars, motorcycles, commercial and agricultural vehicles, marine craft and anything else worth saving — chrome platers, trimmers, machinists, wheel builders and coachbuilders. We match your requirements with our vast database of companies, because the best specialist for the job is not always the nearest one.

Why use Restoration Hub?
Why not just search for suppliers yourself?
Anyone can type a few words into a search engine — but results pages don't tell you who to trust. Between us we have thousands of contacts across the trade, built up over more than 40 years, plus unique access to most companies' history and trustworthiness records. That means we can match you with the right specialist for your project, steer you away from the ones who aren't up to the job, and personally check and verify every result before it reaches you.
