French Polishing & Finishing Ltd

Andy collected two antique tables from us which were in a poor state of repair, with bits of veneer missing, falling off or messily stuck on by a previous owner. He managed to replace the missing veneer with wood from his own stock, and repolished the tables so they look absolutely stunning now. The price was extremely competitive too. Thank you Andy and I will no doubt be in touch again as we have other furniture which needs TLC. Recommended 100%.

Andy is a professional French Polisher. He arrived at my property on time. He was highly skilled in his trade and pleasant to deal with. Andy completed his polishing on my Dining Table beautifully and I have no hesitation in recommending his services. Thank you Andy. I look forward to engaging your services again in the future.

Andy undertook the restoration of a much loved cabinet which had been neglected by a family member (thanks sis). He responded to the query quickly, assessed two levels of pricing depending on what level of restoration was needed as he progressed in his workshop, kept me updated throughout, on consultation undertook restoration of the old lock (which ultimately failed) however then sourced some discrete and pleasing magnetic latches as a substitute. The cabinet is back looking splendid and smelling of polish and care. Andy clearly cares passionately about what he does and has the skills to do it well which is what you want when you want your furniture or banisters or whatever it is restored. Would highly recommend and will be using his services again.

Andy undertook two jobs for us. Firstly he restored a slightly water damaged small hall table and we were delighted with the result. All sign of the damage had disappeared and the table was a pleasing uniform colour. Secondly, he was able to much improve the dining chairs which were creaking badly. We are very happy with the improvements. It was a pleasure to do business with Andrew. He was always on time and extremely helpful and reliable, and the work was finished at the agreed time. We would recommend him without hesitation .

Andy and team offered some very helpful advice and options for the refurbishment of my vintage dining table with 2 leaves. I hated the colour, the finish and the extending mechanism was not smooth. Andy helped me choose a more suitable finish and luckily when removing the previous polish found that the table was already the perfect colour. My “new” table is even better that I imagined. Also, delivered on time and kept me up to date. A perfect experience. Thank you.

Andy came and sorted out two drawers which were completely stuck on a chest of drawers, and also repaired an antique box for me. Workmanship was excellent, and Andy was very punctual and tidy. So grateful to him and very happy to recommend.

Andy restored a set of six dining chairs for us. Some of them were in very poor condition but he worked wonders with them. He even sourced some African hardwood to patch them up.

I inherited a 1950s Gordon Rusell dressing table (plus rattan stool) which was in a sorry state. It was very faded, had a huge water mark, numerous blemishes, and the support for the mirror was busted. When Andy and son brought it back last week, it was a true Repair Shop I moment - I literally had tears in my eyes because of the transformation. The gorgeous warm colour of the wood is incredible. It genuinely is a pleasure doing business with Andy. He is amazingly knowledgeable, polite, punctual and good at keeping in touch on the progress of the job. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

We have built a new house and Andy from French Polishing and Finishing Ltd was recommended by our staircase manufacturer and installer. It is an open tread, double flight staircase, with quarter landings and carpet inserts. We had sent photos of the colour we wanted this new oak staircase to be and the samples sent through by Andy were very good, so it was easy to choose our colour and finish quickly. The French polishing was booked a couple of months ahead. French Polishing & Finishing Ltd turned up on time and completed everything in 5 days as promised. The work was of a very high quality and draws compliments from everyone entering the hall

We had bought a nice second-hand G-Plan -style coffee table from antique shop. Within a month, while we were away, the young folk placed their hot take-away containers on it and ruined its appearance with big pale marks . Oh and possibly me as well with a coffee mug. My wife was very fed up, I had gotten French Polishing to work on another table a few years back when my wife mixed up Mr Sheen with Oven Cleaner, so happy to use again as they did an excellent job. Mr Stonebridge collected the coffee table and returned within the week . Marks are all gone , and as requested, a smooth tough coating has been applied capable of withstanding us clumsy folk . Most importantly , my exacting wife is v pleased with the results. Price very reasonable, Quality excellent. Recommended.
