Highlights

"French polishing is a traditional craft that takes skill and patience. The end result is truly transformational, and we were thrilled with the work that Jake did in restoring three pieces of furniture and redoing the handrails and balustrades on our staircase. Jake was polite and friendly, clean and tidy, kept us informed of progress and went above and beyond. We are completely satisfied and would have no hesitation in recommending Messengers."

"MFP was recommended to me by another excellent artisan, L'Atelier Joinery, to rejuvenate my tired and sad looking parquet floors. What a transformation! It is now a beautiful feature in my flat and I would highly recommend them."

"Barry got straight back to me. I sent him photos of my table which had water damage and he gave me a quote really quickly. The table was collected the following day and was returned within 3 working days. I was so pleased with the quality of the work it looked like it would have done when my uncle originally made it."
