What We Do
French Polishing Services
Explore our full range of wood finishing and restoration services.
Antique Restoration
Sympathetic repair and refinishing of antique furniture that keeps the patina a piece has earned over a century — structural work, veneer repairs and hand-finished surfaces that respect the original maker rather than erasing them.
French Polishing
Traditional shellac finishing applied by hand with a rubbing pad, built up in thin coats for a depth and clarity no spray finish matches — on dining tables, desks, pianos and period woodwork across Essex.
Furniture Restoration
Structural repairs, veneer work and refinishing that bring a tired piece back into daily use — loose joints reglued, missing mouldings matched and the finish rebuilt so the repair disappears into the original.
Staircase Refinishing
On-site stripping, staining and finishing of handrails, spindles and treads, sequenced so the staircase stays usable while we work and the household is disrupted as little as possible.
Water & Heat Damage Repair
White rings, bloom and scorch marks lifted without stripping the whole surface — the damaged area is re-amalgamated and bodied back up so the repair is invisible against the surrounding patina.
