Furniture Restoration

We all have a beautiful piece of furniture handed down from our grandparents that we feel bad isn’t in as good condition as we would like it to be. Whether its an old rocking chair that your grandmother used to hold you in or a chest of drawers with centuries of sentimental value attached to it, this furniture deserves to be preserved as well as possible so you can continue to cherish those memories while being able to get full use out of them. Restoring furniture has become a common hobby for some people, but taking off the top layer of varnish and repainting a cabinet is far from a full restoration. We can fully restore any timber furniture and bring it back to its former glory with pride.

Material Choice

The hardest thing about restoring furniture is often having to match the original materials in any sections that need repairing or replacing. We have access to a huge range of different timbers through our contacts across the country, and can help match any fabrics used in the piece with ease. Making sure that the final product looks consistent and doesn’t have anything that stands out in a bad way is critical, so we take our material selection very seriously.

Techniques

The most challenging part of restoration is knowing the techniques used to build a piece of old furniture in order to make sure it’s stable. If something like a rocking chair needs to be pulled apart and reassembled, its critical to know how it was made in the first place so that we don’t make more damage than good. We have endless knowledge about different woodworking styles and techniques to be able to restore practically anything for you.

Finishes

The finishes on anything made from timber are almost the most important part. The finish can make something that looks quite standard and plain pop with color. But choosing the right finish to make sure that not only the timber looks good but its protected for the use that it will get can be incredibly challenging. We have a large range of finishes and will work hard to source the exact one needed to get the desired visual and physical result so that your new piece of furniture stands up to everything you throw at it.

Affordable Service
