Our Edinburgh Workshop & Restoration Standards
Freshposturedaily began on Forth Street out of frustration with disposable furniture habits and rapid handymen applying quick silicone fillers to historic furniture. Edinburgh homes are filled with Georgian, Victorian, and mid-century timber pieces that simply need skilled joinery care rather than replacement.
We set up our benches with traditional clamping jigs, cast iron hand planes, and natural finishing materials. We never rush glue cure times or apply plastic coats to disguise damaged timber. Every broken rail is remade using matched kiln-dried hardwood, and every frame is tested under square tension.
We keep our business straightforward. We give you a fixed quote before work starts, collect your items with our own team, and accept payment only after you have personally inspected the finished furniture in your home.
We do not use quick chemical dips or silicone sprays. Every surface is stripped by hand, steam-raised and refinished with proper shellac or hardwax oil.

We use traditional joinery glues and natural shellac finishes that respect original antique integrity and allow future maintenance. We never use destructive expanding polyurethane foams.
Material Authenticity
All replacement dowels, grain slips, and corner bracing use genuine oak, walnut, or beech hardwoods. We do not plug broken structural wood with synthetic resin fillers.
Transparent Pricing
The written price quoted from your photographs is the exact amount payable. You pay via bank transfer or cash on delivery only after inspecting the restored furniture in your room.
