Door Stripping & Furniture Restoration
Paint stripping
The doors/furniture are stripped of paint in heated tanks containing caustic soda for 45mins at a time.
Power wash
The doors are then cleaned by power jet with fresh water to remove the caustic soda.
Optional neutralisation
We also offer the option of neutralising your item. -Sodium Hydroxide is alkaline in nature, so we recommend neutralisation in order to render your item Ph neutral. -After neutralising we recommend a waxing service that will fully restore and protect the item.
The Drying and Sanding Process
The doors are placed in heated drying rooms with dehumidifiers until completely dry before being sanded down by hand with specialised equipment to produce a beautifully smooth surface.
Application of Wax
We wax all items by hand and using quality wax. We also offer our customers an opportunity to make their own choice of wax or oil available at DIY high street shops. By this process we deliver the perfect finish to a fully restored item.
Our Choice of Wax and Finishes:
- Danish Oil
- Varnish
- Natural Wax
- Floor Sanding
Fitting and Repairs with different finishing products are also available for the Kitchen, Bedroom, Living Room and all other Wooden and Metal Furniture * All Door Handles and Hinges need to be removed before collection

Important Notice:
* Minimum charge for orders of one item is £30.00 and £30.00 collection and delivery service. * Items that have water based paint cannot be stripped by dipping ,they will have to be hand stripped and different price will apply -please take a look at the price list section. * Glass paneled doors and items can be dipped but there is a small chance that they may crack due to the nature of the stripping process. However we do take great care and more time when working with glass items and 9 out of 10 do turn out absolutely fine.
