  Alan did an absolutely beautiful job of restoring a very old trolley for me, that had sentimental value. I am not sure that it would have looked this good new! He could not have been more helpful, and now a lovely old piece of furniture gets to be cherished and used by another generation.

  We selected Alan from the reviews on his website, to varnish internal bi-fold doors. His quote was very reasonable and we found him to be very informative and helpful. He arrived promptly and completed the job within the day. He was very tidy and cleared away everything when finished. The finished job was excellent and we would not hesitate to use Alan again in the future.

  We have a 40+year old pine kitchen table & benches which holds the most sentimental value. The heavy dark varnish was pretty terrible in places and years of puppies/toddlers had taken its toll on various parts of the benches! Alan came out, stripped the old varnish, sanded the whole lot and showed me a choice of finishes - he wasn’t happy until I was completely happy and the end result is just amazing! We love it - he certainly knows his stuff! Above all, he was so genuine, pleasant and reliable that we would 100% recommend his services.
