Need some restoration and repair work done on about 15 pipes. Looked around on the web and found a good many that do this type of work but would like to have some recommendations. Thanks.

Walker Pipe Repair - http://www.walkerpiperepair.com. I've been happy with Mike Myers work on a bunch of Dunhills that needed a good overhaul and new stems. He even put the correct white dot on the pipes. Replacement stems lower the resale value but I was unable to salvage the oxidized vulcanite and evidence of my clenching! I bought those pipes decades before I learned to take care of them. I take better care of my pipes these days. An ounce of prevention ...

If your in the U.K then you need Northern Briars see link below:


Otherwise if you are in the U.S then it's Briarville as endorsed by just about everyone who matters!

Not all "repairmen" are repairmen. Most of these guys are "just" refurb guys. Refurb usually can't repair broken stem or damaged bowls. And if you you want stem that will pass muster as original that lets a bunch of guys out.

Again, it depends on the level of execution. Collectors of high end pipes, whether rare antique pieces, or top end Danish artisanal pipes, who need something like a stem replacement or some sort of structural, as well as aesthetic restoration, go to George Dibos. They line up to have George do the work because they want it faultless, seamless, and invisible. He's a member here.
If your repairs are more along the line of refurbishment, a clean up, a bit of spit and polish, the other recommendations are more than adequate

Who then would you recommend in Europe ?
Geoff Watson, Cambridge Pipe Repairs in the UK. Does excellent work.
The Danish Pipe Shop if the pipe needs cleaning and new stems.

I've used both.

Also Dean, The Estate Pipe Shop, in the UK. I've not sent pipes to him for repair or refurb, but I've bought estate pipes from Dean, and they were very well presented.
