Restore table, chairs and bench
John and Joe provided an excellent service from start to finish. They restored our table, chairs and bench beautifully, and the quality of workmanship was outstanding. They were punctual, efficient and took the time to explain everything clearly throughout the process. We particularly appreciated that they checked with us before completing the final finish to ensure we were happy with the result.Verified reviewerJob location: SW18RLorraine S10 Antique Restoration

To repair 2 dents/chips in an oak Welsh Dresser
Joe was brilliant. Excellent communication prior to booking in the repair and very reasonably priced as the furniture was being donated to a charity shop. He did an amazing job on the repair, such that I couldn’t tell where the damage had been. Very pleased with the result and the charity shop were very pleased with the furniture too, when they collected it later.Verified reviewerJob location: IG119.67 Furniture Repair / Restoration

Repair and Renovation of Wood Dining Table
It was explained to us clearly what they were going to do so no surprises. The work was done cleanly, professionally and within the timescale envisaged. We are very pleased with the result.Verified reviewerJob location: GU2310 Furniture Repair / Restoration

Restoring an antique kitchen table
We have a large but rather battered antique kitchen table. They did a really good job of making it look the best it can be again. They did well at every stage. Very open to answering our novice questions by email. Gave a good outline of what they would do, then turned up on time and did it :-) I think they are possibly more used to dealing with high-end furniture but they showed great care and attention in our less-than-high-end table. In particular, they worked with us to get the colour just how we wanted it.Job location: SW210 French Polisher

French polishing 4 big rooms
John and Joe were recommended to me by a good friend. Our bloody dog peed on our lovely wooden floors across 4 different big rooms. Marks everywhere and trashed them. John and Joe came and spent a day sorting it all out and they look brand new. So chuffed and very reasonably priced. We left them in the house due to work commitments having never met them and they were amazing. Brilliant craftsmanship, honest, lovely guy who I can’t recommend enough. They’ll be getting another call no doubt to do the same again in a year or so 😎Verified reviewerJob location: TN13
