Kieran - Image 1 6 images Kieran - Image 2 Kieran - Image 3 Kieran - Image 4 Kieran - Image 5 Kieran - Image 6 "Ricardo undertook two assignments for us. The first was Six Queen Anne Chairs that needed stabilising and he dismantled these, replaced damaged dowels, checked all joints and clamped & glued them. In addition he buffed up the finish making them look like new and very sturdy. The next work I asked him to do was to strip bare the dining room Refectory table and restain the wooden base to match the chair colour. With his advice we chose to keep the the top as close to the natural colour, which matched the flooring of the room. For durability this was finished in clear staining. My wife Amber, and I were absolutely delighted with the results and would recommend Ricardo unreservedly. Kieran"

We dropped off a very dark Ercol Sideboard to him, asking him to make the finish a lot lighter so it will match our other furniture. He didn't disappoint. He not only done the outside but the inside to. Quality work, quality restoration, cant fault his work."

Norman - Image 1 4 images Norman - Image 2 Norman - Image 3 Norman - Image 4 "I gave Ricardo three pieces of furniture to restore this week. Ercol Sideboard, Ercol Pandora Coffee Table and a Richard Hornby Nest of Tables. The Ercol Sideboard and Ercol Pandora Coffee Table were finished to a very high standard after being stripped and French Polished. The tricky one was the Richard Hornby Nest of Tables because the legs on the larger table needed to be removed, re-aligned, re-glued and clamped into there correct position to make it sturdy again. Ricardo passed with flying colors. Ricardo has been restoring furniture for us for the last three years and all pieces have been finished to a high standard."
