    Restoring an Ercol dining table

    Meeting Trevor was a pleasure. He restored my mother's Ercol Windsor dining table and I am very pleased with the result. The table looks absolutely amazing. Table top and legs restored to a very high standard.

    Table restoration.

    Our first attempt at getting out tables polished did not go well due to covid. However we persevered and next time we managed to agree a collection time and redelivery with ease via emails and telephone conversstions. We are delighted with the results

    Rosewood sideboard French polishing

    Trevor was outstanding, he came all the way down to St Leonards even though it was quite out of the way for him and restored our sideboard to perfection. A pleasure to see an artisan at work.
