How We Carry Out Your Commission
-
1
Area Preparation
Surrounding flooring is protected with heavy drop cloths, and the damaged spot is degreased.
-
2
Base Tone Filling
We melt blend-matched hard waxes directly into the damage until flush with the timber profile.
-
3
Grain Replication
Individual growth rings and medullary rays are painted across the repair using lightfast pigments.
-
4
Sheen Matching
A fine satin, matt, or gloss coat is sealed over the mend to equal the surrounding ambient reflection.
Our Workshop Assurance
We stand behind the stability of our timber joinery and the durability of our finishes. If a re-glued joint falters or an agreed finish exhibits defects under ordinary household use within twelve months, we will return to make it right without further charge. Pricing & payment

Questions about this service
Will I be able to see the repair afterwards?

Are the wax fills durable enough for daily cleaning?
Yes, once sealed with our protective lacquer mist, the repair resists normal dusting and damp microfiber wiping.
What areas do you visit for this service?
We attend domestic and commercial premises within Manchester and closely adjoining towns such as Salford and Stockport.
What Our Clients Note
The Victorian dining table had two split leaves and unstable legs. Healthysimplehabits collected it from our home, reinforced the undercarriage with reclaimed oak, and French polished the surface. The table looks magnificent and stands solid.
Edward M., Manchester, GBArthur attended to our family bureau with tremendous care. The pigeonhole drawers slide smoothly once more and the original patina was conserved rather than stripped away. Exceptional, polite service from Newton Street.
Clare H., Salford, GBA set of six mahogany chairs had broken dowels and loose rail joints. The workshop re-glued every frame using traditional hide glue. They were returned carefully wrapped in blankets and remain entirely rigid.
