Services and Pricing

Every piece of wood is slightly different, but honest work starts with clear base prices. Here are our starting rates for workshop and on-site restoration.

Dining Table Surface Restoration For solid timber and veneered dining tables showing honest wear or water damage. We strip failing lacquer or wax, steam minor dents, and apply durable hardwax oils or traditional shellac. Your tabletop returns to daily service with its grain intact. from £180 per tabletopDetails & pricing

Loose Chair Joint Regluing For dining chairs, armchairs, and rocking chairs that creak or rack sideways. We tap apart loose mortise-and-tenon joints, remove brittle old animal glue, and rebuild them with fresh hide glue or modern structural adhesives. The chair becomes solid and safe again. from £45 per chairDetails & pricing

Veneer and Marquetry Repair For sideboards, chests, and bureau desks with lifting, chipped, or bubbling veneer. We soften and press lifted timber back down and source period-correct wood patches for missing chips. The surface becomes smooth and visually unified. from £95 per damaged areaDetails & pricing

Traditional French Polishing For period mahogany, walnut, and rosewood furniture that has lost its depth and sheen. We apply refined dewaxed shellac using a traditional cotton rubber, building an authentic, breathable lustre. Your piece recovers its original warmth without looking coated in plastic. from £160 per itemDetails & pricing

Drawer Runner and Cabinet Hardware Repair For antique chests, desks, and wardrobes whose drawers stick, drop down, or rub timber against timber. We plane out grooved runners, slip fresh hardwood bearer strips onto drawer sides, and adjust original brass locks and handles. Drawers slide in and out with finger pressure. from £60 per drawerDetails & pricing

On-Site Timber Scuff and Gouge Repair For large furniture pieces, fitted cabinetry, and architectural timber that cannot be carried out easily. We visit your home in Leeds with resin waxes, pigments, and touch-up lacquers to fill gouges, blend missing colour, and protect bare wood. Done in a single visit without moving your furniture. from £110 per visitDetails & pricing
