When do you need a Furniture repair & restoration?
When your furniture is damaged, worn out, needs a new look, or you want to preserve an antique piece.
What happens on the day
A furniture restorer will either work on-site for minor repairs or collect the item for more extensive workshop-based restoration. They will assess the damage, perform necessary repairs (e.g., structural fixes, sanding, repolishing, reupholstering), and ensure the piece is restored to its best possible condition.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the furniture if working on-site.
- Remove any personal items from drawers or surfaces.
- Take clear photos of the damage to share with the professional.
- Consider access for collection if the item needs to go to a workshop.
- Have any specific fabric or finish choices ready if applicable.
How to improve your result
- Regularly clean and dust wooden furniture to prevent build-up.
- Use coasters and protective mats to prevent marks and stains.
- Keep furniture out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and cracking.
- Rotate cushions on upholstered items for even wear.
Why it is useful day to day
