Following our relocation, please do not send puppets for repairing/restringing to the old address. Email me first and I will provide the new address. Thank you – David Leech.

I was employed full-time at the original puppet factory and I spent the first year or two working for short periods in various departments from moulding, painting, stringing, assembly and woodworking, as the need arose.  This enabled me to gain valuable, hands-on experience of the puppet production process from beginning to end. So you can be sure that any repair you ask for, I will be able to do to your complete satisfaction. 

I offer a restringing and repair service. Restringing is £17.50 for a standard Pelham Puppet.  Puppets such as MacBoozle & Clever Willie are £20 the Skeleton & Mother Dragon cost £25.00 each.

I also offer a full repair & restoration service for all types of Pelham Puppets such as the large display models, like Donald Duck shown here.

Please email me: tradpup@btinternet.com for details.
