Feedback from Edinburgh Clients
Our Victorian extending dining table had two split leaves and severe cup rings. Callum collected it from Forth Street and returned it three weeks later. The joints are dead solid and the colour match to the original apron is spot on.
Alastair B., Edinburgh, GBSix Ercol dining chairs with loose spindles. Freshposturedaily dismantled the frames entirely, cleared the dried factory glue, and reset them properly. Zero creaks now. Paid via bank transfer upon return delivery.
Fiona M., Edinburgh, GBSolid walnut writing desk had deep scratches from heavy moving boxes. The team planed the dented edge, laid in a small grain slip, and oiled it back to an even satin finish. Honest, prompt service.
David K., Edinburgh, GBOur Workshop Guarantee
Every reglued joint and repaired surface comes with a 12-month structural guarantee. If a joint we glued loosens or a finish we blended clouds within a year under standard indoor use, we correct it at our workshop at zero extra charge. You inspect all pieces before making payment.
What to Know Before Workshop Drop-Off or Home Collection
Clear off all decorative items, lamps, and personal belongings before we arrive to collect.
Point out any tight turns, spiral stairs, or narrow tenement doors so we bring proper protective moving blankets.
Most standard joint and tabletop repairs take four to seven working days in our workshop.
Payment is due only upon completion: we accept cash on completion or bank transfer against our written invoice.

Before you book
How do you calculate repair costs?
We evaluate timber damage from clear photographs and timber measurements. Your quote details collection, materials, joinery hours and finishing. That total is fixed. We do not charge call-out fees for initial photo assessments.
Can you complete repairs inside my home or flat?
Minor scratch touch-ups and hardware realignment can happen on-site in Edinburgh. Structural glueing, full veneer clamping and spray or shellac finishing take place in our Forth Street workshop to maintain controlled temperature and dust extraction.
When and how do I pay for the work?
Payment is made strictly after completion. Once we return the furniture to your home and you inspect the joints and finish, you can pay the driver via cash on delivery or submit a bank transfer immediately on site.
What happens if a reglued chair joint loosens again?
All joinery repairs include our 12-month structural warranty. If any joint fixed in our workshop separates or wobbles during normal domestic use within that period, we collect and rebuild the frame at zero cost to you.
