Excellent work carried out by Piers. Prep work and finish was done in a timely manner to a very good finish. We would thoroughly recommend Piers.

Piers was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable.  He did a great job of restoring our pine table and we would definitely use him again.

Pine table restoration

A good repair to a table that had split along a joint. The repair is invisible, so we are very pleased. Recommended for wood furniture repairs or restorations.

Heavy wooden table repair

Repaired an Ercol bench which unfortunately had been broken. Nice job, completed in a timely fashion, and for a fair price.

Bench repair

Piers Shrapnell was fabulous. He was quick, prompt and helpful in all his communications with me. He gave great advice around suitable products to use in maintaining the silky smooth finish of our dining table, side table and blanket box. I had the teak side table from my grandmother, I had never seen it without the marks before. The blanket box had been made from an old dance floor and had been brought back to Britain when my Mam and family returned from living abroad. It had the marks of a well loved piece of furniture. Piers has restored it to its former glory- beautiful.
