I found Andy to be helpful, informative, and honest. He set my expectations appropriately, kept me advised of changes to the scope of the job, and delivered in a timely manner. The spray finish is of a high caliber and a lovely colour. I will most certainly give him repeat business.

Dining table restoration
Customer Service
Quality
Value
We have had a dark brown dining table for 20 years that my wife bought second-hand -one of those tables made in the 1940-s (?) by the million with pull-out leaf extensions. My wife had further "improved" it by spraying it one day with oven cleaner instead of Pledge , and despite a wobble creeping in to the table, she now wanted the table restored to something of its original state. Mr Stonebridge took it away , re-glued so no more wobble and repaired and restored the damaged top, looking like new and coated with a hard varnish able to withstand our clumsy family . My wife is very pleased with the table that was returned to us . High quality work, reasonable price and turn-round in an agreed time frame. Recommended.

Coffee Tablle Restoration

I have a coffee table, in cherrywood, of a petal design that had had far too many cups of coffee on it over the years. The finish had deteriorated very badly, including many rings. Andy inspected it carefully and warned that not all of the rings may come out, although its appearance would certainly be very much improved with treatment. It was returned within the time Andy allowed and was quite perfectly restored (all the rings did come out!) and he charged exactly what we agreed. I’d have no hesitation in using Andy’s services again.

Polishing mahogany handrail
Customer Service
Quality
Value
I am passionate about furniture and various types of wood, so it was a real pleasure meeting Andy, who knows his stuff. Having built an extension on my house, I had extended the original handrail from the first to the second landing. The lower handrail is original Victorian, in African mahogany. The new upper section is Sapele (as African mahogany is now protected). Andy did a beautiful job of restoring the lower section and colouring the upper section, before polishing up to make a soft gloss handrail that is a delight to touch. No mess, prompt timing. Great job all round.

Skilful parquet floor renovation
Customer Service
Quality
Value
We discovered a tired and damaged parquet floor under an ugly old carpet in our recently acquired Edwardian Home. We called the French Polishing and finishing company in to give advice and a quote and were very impressed by their knowledge and friendliness. The job was done efficiently and well, on schedule, with the minimum of disruption. The floor now gleams with the multiple shades of the wood clearly seen when it had been masked beforehand. Areas of missing tiles were cleverly patched in with reclaimed wood. All in all, a lovely floor. We’re very happy with the work and the overall service, all done at a very fair price.

I had a newly laid wooden floor sanded, stained and lacquered by this company and they did a very good job. We wanted the floor to be a very particular colour as we are doing a renovation of a Victorian house and they were very helpful and patient with colour testing the various options for the stain and the finished floor looks beautiful. They were friendly, clean, efficient and professional and we were very pleased with the results.
