French polishing is an old wood finishing method that uses shellac applied by hand in thin layers.

This technique results in a high-gloss surface that brings out the natural beauty of the wood. By building up multiple layers of shellac, the wood gets a smooth, shiny finish that is both beautiful and durable.

This process not only makes the wood look great but also protects it from damage. Perfect for antique furniture and fine wood pieces, French Polishing keeps your wood looking its best for years to come.

Yes, we provide wooden floor restoration services. If your wooden floors are looking worn or damaged, we can help bring them back to life. Our team is experienced in repairing and restoring all types of wooden floors, including those with scratches, dents, and other damage.

The restoration process begins with an assessment of your floor’s condition. We check for any damages, such as broken boards, gaps, or surface wear. Next, we repair any issues, like fixing broken boards and filling gaps with matching wood.

Once repairs are done, we move on to sanding the floor. This step removes old finishes and smooths out any imperfections.

After sanding, we can stain the wood to your preferred colour. This step enhances the wood’s natural beauty and can match your existing décor. We then apply a protective sealant to the floor, which helps to preserve the wood and keep it looking fresh for longer. Finally, we polish the floor to give it a beautiful finish.

Our floor restoration service not only improves the look of your floors but also extends their life. Regular maintenance, including sanding and polishing, can keep your floors in top shape for many years.

Whether your floors have minor wear or need major repairs, our team is here to help. We aim to provide high-quality service to ensure your wooden floors look their best.

Yes, we provide furniture restoration services for both antique and modern pieces. Our team is skilled in handling a wide range of furniture restoration needs, ensuring your pieces look their best.

For antique furniture restoration, we take great care to preserve the original beauty and character of each piece. We can repair structural damage, fix loose joints, and replace missing parts. We also restore finishes, using traditional methods to bring back the original shine and lustre. Our goal is to keep the historical value of your antique furniture while making it look great.

Modern furniture restoration also benefits from our services. Whether your piece has scratches, dents, or worn finishes, we can help. We repair any damage and refinish the surfaces to restore the original look. Our team uses quality materials and techniques to ensure a durable and attractive finish.

We offer various services, including reupholstering, leather repair, and surface refinishing. For upholstered furniture, we can replace old fabric with new, durable materials. Leather pieces can be cleaned, repaired, and conditioned to look and feel like new. For wood furniture, we offer sanding, staining, and polishing to restore the original beauty.

In addition to repairs, we can also customize furniture to meet your needs. Whether you want to change the colour, update the fabric, or add new features, we can help you create a piece that fits your style and needs.

Whether you have a beloved antique or a modern piece that needs some care, we are here to help. Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality service to ensure your satisfaction.

The need for floor sanding and polishing depends on how much traffic they get.

For areas with heavy foot traffic, it’s best to sand and polish every 3-5 years. This helps keep the floors looking good and ensures they remain durable.

Regular maintenance like this prevents wear and tear from becoming too noticeable and keeps your floors in top shape. High-traffic areas, such as hallways and living rooms, benefit the most from this upkeep, maintaining their beauty and extending their lifespan.

Regular care helps keep your floors looking great for years.

Spray lacquering is a process where a protective lacquer coating is applied to furniture and woodwork using a spray gun. This technique ensures a smooth and even finish that can be either glossy or matte, depending on your preference.

The spray gun allows the lacquer to be distributed evenly, covering all surfaces and edges. This finish enhances the appearance of the furniture and provides a layer of protection, helping to preserve the wood.

Spray lacquering is ideal for achieving a professional, polished look on both new and restored pieces.

Yes, we can match the colour of your existing furniture with spray paint finishing. Our team uses precise colour matching techniques to ensure that your new or restored pieces blend seamlessly with your current decor.

Whether you’re looking to refresh an old piece or create a custom look, we can achieve the exact shade you want.

We pay close attention to detail, ensuring that the finish is smooth and even. With our spray paint finishing service, your furniture will look cohesive and well-integrated with the rest of your home.

We offer a wide range of upholstery services to meet your needs. Whether you have old furniture that needs reupholstering, damaged upholstery that needs repair, or want to create custom pieces with fabrics of your choice, we’ve got you covered.

For reupholstering old furniture, we can replace worn-out fabrics with new ones, giving your furniture a fresh look while retaining its original structure. This service is perfect for breathing new life into beloved pieces that have seen better days.

If your furniture has damaged upholstery, we can fix tears, holes, and other issues. Our repair services ensure that your furniture not only looks good, but is also comfortable and functional.

Leather lining involves adding a layer of leather to the inside or outside surfaces of furniture. This technique is commonly used in drawers, desks, and cabinets. Adding leather lining gives these pieces a touch of luxury and sophistication.

Leather lining not only enhances the appearance of furniture but also protects the surfaces from wear and tear. It helps to prevent scratches and damage that can occur with regular use. This makes leather lining a practical choice for areas that experience frequent contact.

In drawers, leather lining provides a smooth, elegant surface for storing items. In desks and cabinets, it adds a refined finish that sets your furniture apart. Whether for functional purposes or aesthetic appeal, leather lining is a great way to upgrade your furniture.

Overall, leather lining combines style and durability, making your furniture both beautiful and long-lasting. It’s an excellent option for anyone looking to add a premium touch to their home or office furnishings.

Gilding is the process of applying a thin layer of gold leaf or gold paint to the surface of an object. This technique adds a luxurious and elegant touch to various items. The gold layer can be applied to furniture, picture frames, mirrors, and decorative pieces to enhance their appearance.

In furniture, gilding is often used on ornate pieces such as chairs, tables, and cabinets to create a striking, high-end look. Picture frames and mirrors with gilded edges or intricate designs become eye-catching focal points in any room. Decorative items like vases, statues, and wall art also benefit from gilding, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.

Gilding improves the aesthetic appeal and adds a layer of protection to the surfaces. It helps to prevent tarnishing and adds durability to the item. The process requires precision and skill to ensure a smooth and even application of the gold layer.

Whether used on furniture, frames, mirrors, or decorative pieces, gilding enhances their beauty and adds a sense of refinement. It’s an excellent choice for those looking to add a luxurious touch to their home or office decor.

Inlaying is the process of embedding pieces of contrasting material, like wood, metal, or shell, into the surface of furniture to create decorative patterns. This technique adds intricate designs and details, making the furniture visually appealing and unique.

Veneering involves applying a thin layer of high-quality wood to the surface of a piece of furniture. This enhances the furniture’s appearance, giving it a rich and polished look. Veneering is often used to cover less attractive wood or to create a beautiful finish on furniture.

Both inlaying and veneering are traditional methods used to improve the beauty and value of furniture. They add unique details and a refined finish, making each piece stand out. These techniques are ideal for those looking to enhance their furniture with decorative and high-quality touches.

Yes, we offer wood turning and carving services. Wood turning involves shaping wood using a lathe, which rotates the wood while tools are used to create round or cylindrical shapes. This technique is often used to make table legs, spindles, and decorative pieces.

Carving is the process of cutting and shaping wood to create intricate designs and patterns. This can be done by hand or with tools, and it’s perfect for adding detailed accents to furniture, such as ornate edges, motifs, or unique custom designs.

Both wood turning and carving add a touch of craftsmanship to your furniture, making each piece unique. Whether you want simple, elegant shapes or detailed, decorative patterns, our skilled team can create what you need.
