French Polishing & Finishing Ltd

Brilliant work. Super easy to deal with and very good service and the result was amazing! Thanks so much!!

I contacted Andy to assess our original 1930s front door which we were looking to restore, following some damage made to it by a fire protection company. Andy responded promptly, and was able to come and assess the door quickly. He provided us with a verbal assessment, which was that the door was beyond repair (there was more technical information he gave as to why it was not the best option to try and repair it). Andy sent us a follow up email with the specifics of what he had told us on the day he viewed the door. I appreciate the honesty and level of knowledge that Andy has, and I thank him for the report he provided.

Exceptional workmanship from Andy renovating a Georg Jenson Kubos coffee table. The table top was littered with ring marks. I was absolutely thrilled with the result, which brought the piece back to the way I remembered it looking in the 1970s. Job completed on time and in budget and with great care and attention.

Amazing service and quality work to restore my grandfather’s oak side table to its original quality after several years of neglect. Work was done as agreed and returned earlier than I expected which was great and in budget. Really pleased with communication. The table was handled with care as over 80 years old and looks as good as new. Even the brass plate was removed and polished for us. We would highly recommend this family, quality business. Good service, lovely people and top quality work.

Andy restored our billiard table which was of sentimental value and we had spent a long time finding someone who could do it. He did a beautiful job and we are very pleased. He also refurbished our garage door and oak front door and wood in porch which looks so very smart now! He completed the work when he said he would and communication was good. I would highly recommend him.

Andy worked extremely hard to restore a live edge Yew coffee table. The table was very special to me as I recently inherited it from my parents. However the beautiful table I remembered from my childhood had developed an orangey discoloured lacquer, a nasty ring stain and a broken leg, dodgedly repaired by my father. Andy restored it carefully and lovingly, using a slightly matt lacquer to bring out the beauty of the wood grain. To say I'm delighted would be an understatement; I'm just thrilled with the results and I have now asked Andy to restore an oak dining chair that belonged to a great aunt... He's extremely professional, thoughtful and communicated honestly about how long he thought it would take to do, how busy he was and thus when he might be able to actually complete the job and deliver the table back to me. I whole heartedly recommend him.

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 .
