    Thank you for your review. This was a tricky fix on your sofa. The frame had failed on all joints and had just gone out of warranty. Im so pleased I could save it for so you didn’t have to replace your entire sectional.

    Couldn’t Have Done It Without Her!

    Posted 24 October 2025

    I gave Sara five pieces to paint to match our new built-in cupboards. She was amazing from start to finish — she even helped me choose the right paint colours for everything (including the cupboards) and met me at the paint shop to make sure it would all match perfectly. She painted a small bench, cupboard, a Trofast kids’ unit, and my late mum’s table — which I didn’t want to part with but didn’t match the rest of the room. She took her time, was so meticulous, and the finish on everything is superb. Sara’s a lovely lady, easy to chat to, and I’d absolutely recommend her. With a toddler and

HAPPILY RESTORING AND REFINISHING TREASURED WOODEN FURNITURE

Hi I’m Sara and I run a small, friendly company that prides itself on offering honest advice, value for money and quality craftswomanship. I’ll treat your furniture as if it was my own (whether it’s vintage or not-so-old) and give your treasured possessions a new lease of life.

FURNITURE RESTORATION, REFINISHING AND REPAIRING

Got vintage, antique or modern furniture that’s seen better days or has got damaged over time? Help is at hand. French polishing brings original surfaces back to life using conservation principles; contemporary refinishing restores the character of furniture; and sensitive repair work (e.g. on dining chairs – fixing legs, joints, scratches, wobbles and woodworm damage) makes furniture sturdy enough to stand the test of time.

UPHOLSTERY

I’m happy do to this on sets of dining chairs, single statement chairs, some armchairs (not recliners) and stools. I’ll fix/restore the piece if needs be, before reupholstering, and only use high-quality products that meet UK regulations.

Contact me for a friendly chat to see if I can help you out.
