I was not looking forward to sorting the house clearance for my mum, but the way you dealt with everything made it run so smoothly and kept me calm! Thank you once again.   

Sue Miller

Stephen responded really quickly, was very polite and professional in understanding my needs, prices achieved in auction were good and in line with expectations set.     

Christopher Cytera 

Stephen was helpful from the moment of first contact. He valued, advised and collected many items from my house. He knew what would sell and his estimates were spot on. Everything from collection to post auction sale happened exactly as he said. Fully recommend Stephen.

Deb Gunning Bays 

A big thank you to Batemans, and particularly to Stephen, for his valuations and the sale of both my late parents’ items in the last year. His professionalism and kindness have made the process very much easier.

Stephen has helped us through an emotional time with his never ending knowledge and honest love for what he does! We couldn’t have asked for more - thank you.

Stephen Drake is a complete gentleman with a wealth of experience in assessing valuable items for auction.
This can be a highly emotional and sensitive time for some vendors which Stephen understands and shows complete respect.
I highly recommend his services.

Stephen is a very knowleadgable gentleman, always happy to help with advice and valuations. He genuinely loves antiques and jewellery and any quirky object. He is very generous with his time, he has kindly been helping us for years at the charity I work for.
I would recommend Stephen without hesitation.
