a very particular set of skills

From a scratch on a single drawer to a full larder unit in disrepair, there’s always a way to revive beaten and battered wooden furniture. The main aspects covered at FreshCoat’s are all listed below, but other forms of repair or refurbishment may be considered. Fire over an enquiry and we’ll look at achieving whatever is required, whether it be a more ambitious repair or travelling to restore something too large or delicate to transport.
