Highlights

"Phil was recommended to me as a French Polisher by Jake the owner of Stairs and Banisters Crawley, who designed and built a wonderful oak staircase for me. Phil displayed great attention to detail, expertise and patience making sure the new staircase complimented my feature fireplace. He then stripped, renovated and stained the original pitched pine parquet floors, completely transforming them. He has recently returned to make minor repairs and touch up several pieces of antique furniture and is booked in to return to battle with my rosewood dining table. He comes highly recommended!"

"We have a 4 year old dresser unit in the kitchen which has a small shelf but we had always avoided putting anything on it because the wood had not been treated properly. They were two ring marks that needed removing, a small nick in the wood that needed filling and a proper varnish needed to be applied. The service we got from Phil was excellent. He was friendly, knowledgeable and did a brilliant job. I only wish we had contacted him four years ago!"

"Really happy with the magic Phil has performed on a set of tables that are of high sentimental value but that needed a bit of tlc. Phil removed all the watermarks and scuffs and returned them looking perfect (see before and after photos below) for us to keep for another 50 years+ Would recommend Phil’s services"
