Specialties: French Polishing, Furniture Restoration, Lacquering, Wood furniture repairs, Veneering, Upholstery.Originally from Plymouth, in October 2015 I relocated to Brighton where I now live, with my workshop at North Chailey. Although my primary formal training and apprenticeship was in French Polishing, I have also trained, and am proficient in spray lacquering, working in both traditional and modern finishes. The kind of work this encompasses, can be anything from ‘touching up’ a scratch on a piece of furniture using traditional methods, to spray lacquering and changing the colour of a complete kitchen. It could also be antique furniture, complete restoration including repairs, or modern furniture, wooden beams, pianos, floors, doors and panelling. I also undertake re-upholstering of dining chairs and re-leathering of desktops.As well as in the home, I have worked on yachts, boats and classic car dashboard renovation. Apart from working in the domestic field, commercially, I have undertaken contracts for various companies, including, Jury's Inn, Holiday Inn, Gleneagles Hotel (Scotland), The Connaught Hotel (London), The Grand (Brighton), The Admiralty (Plymouth), HMS Drake, Stonehouse Barracks, Chem-dry, McAleer and Rushe, Castlebrooks, Mowlem, Midas, InterServe, and Pendennis Shipyard to name but a few, as well as shop-fitting companies, such as TJ Purdy, and SW Shopfitters and also letting agents.I am fully insured up to £2,000,000, and for larger contract work, I am a CSCS card holder.
