Services
Stripping Services
Our stripping services utilise caustic solutions or manual techniques to restore period doors and furniture to their original condition. We specialise in removing old finishes without damaging historical materials. Clients benefit from renewed architectural elements that maintain property authenticity while extending product lifespan.
Dust-Free Floor Sanding
This non-invasive process removes surface imperfections from wooden floors while minimising dust generation. Ideal for heritage properties, it preserves indoor air quality during renovations. The technique reveals fresh timber layers, preparing floors for eco-friendly finishes that enhance natural grain patterns.
Bespoke Stained Glass
Custom stained glass creations are designed to match property periods or client specifications. Our studio crafts intricate designs for doors, windows, and feature panels. Each piece combines traditional methods with modern durability, transforming light entry points into artistic focal features.
Reclaimed Wood Supply
We supply salvaged timber from sources like old warehouses and fire-damaged structures for new projects. Materials include flooring, beams, and furniture-grade planks. Using reclaimed wood reduces deforestation impact while providing unique textures and patinas unachievable with new timber.
Fireplace Restoration
Specialist restoration covers period fireplace surrounds and original reclaimed units. Processes include stripping old paint layers and repairing structural damage. The service preserves historical heating features while ensuring safety compliance for modern use in heritage environments.

Great little shop. Picked up some pine slivers for a flooring restoration which are hard to get hold of. Came with lots of friendly advice. Great range of reclaimed wood as well which is not listed on their website.

I'm ashamed to say that I had no idea such a fabluous company was so close by. I've ordered the exact door I wanted, had really first class help and advice, and the price is great value for money. While looking around, I saw some remarkably fine stained glass doors, beautifully made in the workshop, so I'm already planning my next purchase.

Avoid, and take your money elsewhere for a better product and service. Terrible customer service, and ran by a very angry, aggressive little man, Richard I believe.
