“Lucy understood our project brief perfectly, working diligently to beautifully and sympathetically restore our Sacred Heart statue. We are very pleased with the outcome.”

“I contacted Lucy over the restoration of our Sacred Heart statue in the parish. Lucy was very detailed and helpful in outlining work required to be carried out on the statue, allayed any concerns I had regarding transportation and retrieval of the statue and I was updated on the progress of the work as she went along. The finished product was amazing, very detailed and meticulously done. I was elated with the work done and would recommend her services.”

“With Lucy you do not only get expertise and knowledge of art and restoration which I have employed her to do both over the last five years. But more impressive for me is that she comes to each commission with faith and understanding of our tradition.”

“Lucy undertook renovation work on tired statues of St Joseph and Our Lady; she spent many hours on site and applied paint to the statues in specially chosen hues to reflect the original colours, giving them a new, clean and vibrant appearance. Her refurbishment of the gold work was especially pleasing. The final appearance of the statues were of brand-new works of art… our parishioners were absolutely delighted with her work.”

“Lucy Crabtree did wonders for a statue of the Infant of Prague that had been left to me a while back. It was in a shocking state of repair, having been repeatedly and poorly repainted, and had in fact suffered also some structural damage. Lucy's skills managed to remove all the previous failed attempts at restoration, and then with some re-structuring, and a vibrant new colour scheme, she brought this statue back to life, fit for being placed with honour in the church.”

“The refurbishment of our great 6-ft wooden Paschal Candlestick was completed beautifully by Lucy in readiness for this Easter. It was in a bad state, and had to be completely stripped and re-painted, and unsightly cracks in the wood attended to. We have been very pleased indeed with the restoration work. Our Paschal Candlestick now has a greatly enhanced dignity befitting its central place at the heart of the liturgy of the Easter season.”
