Wood Specialist Services

We offer a wide range of specialist wood finishing services from matching the colour of old wood to new wood to graining and painting specialist paint effects.


Matching new with antique woodwork- Bespoke staining to blend wood seamlessly. Careful restoration, examining and testing the surfaces, the exact species of wood, conducting a test area are all meticulously programmed before major works begin. All methods and materials are traditionally based. – We even crush and charcoal walnut shells to obtain a rich nutty stain that colours the wood beautifully and naturally, keeping the traditional craftsmanship alive.

Wood graining – Effects applied to simulate natural wood. Our team are fully trained in the art of graining, be it to blend the appearance of a manufactured or metal surface in with surrounding natural surfaces or to just improve the aesthetic look.

Fire proofing – Applying spread of flame retardant to class ‘0’. In many public places it is a legal requirement to stop the spread of flame (class 0 or 1) while this is extremely difficult to apply without looking awful, we have achieved this in many locations, look at the excellent restored panelling on the Spain’s Hall link./td>

My antiques have never looked so good in all the years I have owned them.

Completeted project at Spains Hall

Spain’s Hall is a wonderful wedding venue, the panelling was fully restored and coated with class 0 spread of flame lacquer. All English oak floors stained and coated using 17th C methods and materials. We scumble grained large softwood window shutters to match the panelling, then antiqued the shutters to give a superb aged finish. Read more…
