Woodwork
Repolishing Experts
A large and important part of the work carried out in our workshop is woodwork re-polishing. A key element of furniture restoration is sympathetically and carefully repairing, stripping and repolishing wooden furniture, whether it be the wooden frame of a chair, antique desks or the wooden panelling in a reception area.
Our team of wood restorers have over 40 years combined wood polishing experience. Working with small and large businesses alike, we have helped many clients to restore furniture back to its best.
Our team works on a wide range of wooden furniture, stripping back years of wear and tear, and creating tables, chairs and benches which are as good as new, at a fraction of the price, to replace.
We help our clients
- Repolish benches and open space items
- Repolish wooden framed chairs
- Return desks to their original condition
- Repolish boardroom tables and doors
- Reglue, fill and reveneer council furniture
- Restore cabinets
- Renovate university college accommodation suites
- And plenty more!
Our woodwork projects can be very intricate in nature involving aging new wood to match with original old wood, colour matching lacquers, finding non-toxic alternatives to old fashioned polishing methods and large scale restoration of historical antiques.
