Structural attention
Loose joints, minor breaks, missing fittings and stability issues assessed before surface work.
Furniture restoration
Good furniture does not need to look new. It needs to be sound, useful and honestly finished for its next setting.
Workshop routes
Loose joints, minor breaks, missing fittings and stability issues assessed before surface work.
Careful cleaning, preparation and an appropriate finish, with age and material taken into account.
Adapt sound material or a well-made piece when its original use no longer fits.
Assessment before promise
Material, construction, previous repairs, finish, sentimental value and likely cost all matter. The first improvement is an honest route, including when light conservation or no intervention is the better choice.
Photograph the complete item and damaged areas.
Record dimensions, material and known history.
Explain the intended use and preferred finish.
Agree scope before work or collection.
