French polishing · Cosmetic surface repair · London

Finished by hand. Matched to the grain.

We repair chips, scratches, dents and worn finishes on site, then colour-match and polish them until the damage is gone. We work on timber, veneer, laminate, stone and more, for main contractors, fit-out teams and homeowners.

Craft / Control / Continuity

What we repair

Most repairs are done where the damage is, without removing or replacing the item. That saves time, waste and the cost of a new door, worktop or panel.

Shellac · Lacquer · Wax

French polishing

We strip, stain, body up and polish furniture, panelling, handrails and joinery, by hand, to a traditional or modern sheen.

Timber · Laminate · Stone · uPVC

Cosmetic surface repairs

Invisible repairs to chips, dents, burns and scratches on doors, worktops, floors, frames, baths and kitchen units.

Stains · Toners · Sheen levels

Colour matching & touch-up

We match new work to existing finishes and blend repairs so the colour, grain and sheen read as one surface.

Fit-out · New build · Refurb

Snagging & pre-handover

We clear damage from installation and other trades before handover, working to your programme and site rules.

Antique · Period · Modern
