What we believe

Modern living is fast. Fast food, fast fashion, fast furniture.

We have never seen it that way. A well made piece is not a purchase, it is an investment that outlives the person who bought it. Bring us something worth keeping and we will make it last another generation.

Georgian through Edwardian to mid century. Native and recycled native timbers, imported timbers, and modern materials when a client asks for them. Every job is different, which is the part we like.

Check out what we have been working on recently

A solid timber boardroom table for Skellerup, tired and marked after years of use. Stripped, repaired and refinished, then returned to a room fitted out around it.

We love what we do. Every job is different.

What people say

Reviews

I have had 3 separate cabinet jobs done by this company and Perfect result each time. Great service too.

Dan did the most incredible job refurbishing my sideboard. It was coming apart at the seams, the glass doors would not move properly and had been repaired badly before. He has made it sturdy and it looks amazing.

These guys did a fantastic job repairing my corner chair. Great match finding the right grain of oak, looks original. They also replaced the back of a drawer from a print cabinet that had fallen apart from borer.
