Custom paint and restoration for Clare
Our yard is at Sible Hedingham, about 20 minutes south of Clare. If it’s got wheels, we’ll take it on: stripped, repaired and painted in our own booths, and put back right.
From Clare to the yard
10 miles by road, about 20 minutes. The quickest way over uses the A1017, past Great Yeldham.
The yard is at Tile Kiln Farm, Braintree Road, Sible Hedingham, Essex CO9 3RL. Directions on Google Maps.
A paint or restoration job means the vehicle stays with us for a while, so most people drop it off and pick it up once it's done. If it doesn't run or isn't road legal, tell us when you send the job.
