To our amazement apparently the Natural History Museum offers a commercial pest control service, which includes an ‘Anoxic’ treatment (https://www.nhm.ac.uk/our-science/services/facilities/quarantine.html).
Additionally, reliable products for domestic use may be purchased from the company Histrionics (https://historyonics.com/) whose principal, we understand, comes from an academic science background.
There is also a new company ANOXART, specialising in anoxic insect irradiation whose apparatus for their argon method is pictured here. Also as per in a previous blog, it should be noted that we offer free freezing treatment for our customers (https://www.orient-rug.com/blogs/news/clinical-moth-treatment-a-free-service-to-customerts).
Shortly to open 21 July 2026, we are currently engaging in the working up and provisions of carpet services to the visitor centre at this famous house on the outskirts of London. Termed 'House of Secrets', the house also known as Trent Park House, played an important role in WWII along with Bletchley Park in wartime covert surveillance. It hosted senior German officer prisoners of war, who were eavesdropped upon whilst enjoying the comparative freedoms of the gardens and grounds, with the odd whiskey to get tongues wagging...
Following a discovery of a pair of 1920s Donegal kneeler runners at the local town parish church of St. Laurences in September 2024 work was commissioned to rejuvenate the carpet and brassware on the steps leading leading from the Nave to the Chancel. The task was tricky as the brassware and fittings were all in a poor state and the carpet was starting to unravel and therefore needed binding not to mention fixings into marble steps !. The result was splendid and fully deserving of the not inconsiderable effort for what might otherwise have appeared a straightforward task.
Having always engaged in film work and now with increased demands connected to the film industry be it with costume or set design in film feature film, terrestrial, network material and or for scale reproduction purposes as seen here . W are now more frequently obliged to follow ( Non Disclosure Agreements ) or NDAs as the pervasive acronym goes which hinders sharing details of such activities. This is not confined to just film work but increasingly to non-film contract work for important engagements onsite at home and abroad. Regrettably we are now often constrained in our wish to publicise interesting work which we would otherwise liked to have shared.
