Furniture repair and restoration in Perthshire

What usually comes through the door

White and dark rings

Cups, vases and plant pots. White marks sit in the finish; dark ones mean water has got into the wood. Both can usually be dealt with.

Lifting and missing veneer

Veneer gets relaid, and missing bits are patched with matching figure so they don’t shout.

Loose joints and wobbly chairs

Taken apart, cleaned up and reglued, not just filled.

Knocks from house moves

Snapped legs, crushed corners, chipped edges. Removal damage is heartbreaking and almost always fixable.

Splits in tops

Sometimes the right answer is a butterfly key across the split, which stops it travelling and looks good doing it.

A finish gone dull and patchy

Cleaned back and refinished, often by French polishing.
