How long does French polishing take?
Most single pieces take 2–5 days depending on size and condition. Larger projects like staircases may take a week. We'll give you a clear timeline upfront.
Do you work on-site or in your workshop?
Both. Smaller items are usually best done in our workshop for a controlled environment; staircases, fitted furniture and doors are done on-site.
Is French polish durable enough for everyday use?
Yes, with proper care a French polish finish lasts for decades. We also offer harder-wearing finishes for high-traffic surfaces like kitchen tables.
