Our method

The same sequence on every visit

Nothing starts until you have approved the price. If the survey shows the problem is smaller than expected, we say so and revise the quote.

  1. 01

    Assess whether the original finish can be saved before stripping anything

  2. 02

    Dismantle only the joints that have failed

  3. 03

    Re-glue and cramp with the correct adhesive

  4. 04

    Patch or re-lay veneer with matching grain

  5. 05

    Build the finish back in thin coats

  6. 06

    Wax or polish to match the surrounding pieces

Root causes

The symptom is not the fault

  • Hide glue failing in a dry air-conditioned interior
  • Humidity swings moving solid timber against a fixed panel
  • Spirit-based cleaners stripping the original finish
  • Direct sunlight over years
  • A piece shipped from a cooler climate and never acclimatised
  • Screws driven into end grain that have lost their hold
