Furniture restoration and repair

We offer professional furniture restauration and repair of both modern and antique furniture.

Why repair?

Older furniture is often made to a high standard with good materials enabling them to last for a long time. Sometimes all it takes is a little work and a piece is good for another 50 years. 

Make a sustainable choice and have us extend the life of your furniture. Please contact us to discuss the options.

Restore or repair?

There are several different approaches to furniture restauration and repair. Sometimes a customer is primarily concerned with restoring the functionality of a piece in which case a simple repair suffices. When restoring a highly treasured antique, on the other hand, preservation of patina and the original expression of a piece is usually emphasized more.

The approach to furniture repair or restoration depends on what you would like to achieve and the budget available, and I'll offer suggestions based on my knowledge and experience. Regardless, before any work is caried out we will discuss your expectations of the final result and how you would like me to prioritize the functional and aesthetic considerations involved in the task.

Example of tasks

Examples of furniture restoration and repair tasks include:

- gluing loose joinery
