What is French polishing and hard wood finishing?

Hard wood finishing is a more accurate description of what we do, french polishing is one of the techniques we use to produce a high quality gloss or satin finish. This though is only part of our broad repertoire.

Every project starts with an assessment of the wood, the existing finish and how the piece will be used, so we can recommend whether a traditional french polish, a hard-wearing lacquer, ebonising or a bespoke colour match is the right approach. We work on doors, panelling, floors, furniture, pianos, bar tops, kitchens, staircases and rails, in oak, mahogany, walnut, cherry, ash, rosewood, beech and other hardwoods.

From delicate antique restoration to full staircases, bar tops and kitchen units, we bring the same attention to detail and hand-finished quality to every job, whatever the size. We undertake both private and commercial work, from individual homes to businesses, private and stately homes, barges and ships.
