Restoration Day is coming

Restoration Day is coming ! Did you know the UK’s first national Restoration Day is taking place on Saturday 22nd August 2015, It is being launched by the UK’s second largest classified ad site, Preloved.co.uk. People at Preloved are passionate about everything to do with the second hand market, from finding a bargain in their local area, to hunting out much loved antique treasures nationwide.

Second hand isn’t second best, and Preloved believe it is important to encourage buyers and sellers to re-use and recycle items to help reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill every year. We re-use as much as possible or giveaway things instead of throwing them away. Someone is always looking for things whether its spare baking trays or utensils which are still in good condition. Second hand items can be found on Preloved nearly new, but for those that need a little TLC, you can restore items back to value whilst saving yourself money in the process, and this is what Restoration Day is all about, for example, if you find an amazing leather sofa that needs a little bit of tender love and care, you can find the proper way to clean a leather sofa, restoring it to its former glory and ensure that you get the money for your hard work if you decide to sell it.

The community at Preloved already celebrate the joy of second hand every year on National Second Hand Day, and the Preloved team often shares inspiring upcycling ideas, but Preloved wants to promote the value that can be found in restoration. With over 13,000 classic cars, and 12,000 pieces of antique furniture and collectibles advertised for sale, Preloved is keen celebrate the value in restoring, refinishing, refurbishing and “reloving” period items back to their former glory.
