Questions about this service
Will restoration reduce the value of an antique?
Careful, minimal restoration usually protects value better than heavy refinishing; we discuss this before starting.
Do you work with pieces that have missing parts?
Yes, we can make replacement parts to match existing timber, carving or veneer.
How do you decide what to repair and what to leave?
We talk it through with you first, based on the piece's age, condition and how you use it.
Our workmanship guarantee
If a repair fails or the finish doesn't hold under normal use within 12 months, we'll come back and put it right at no extra charge. This covers our workmanship, not damage caused by misuse, spills or further accidents after the repair. Pricing & payment · Cancellation & refunds
