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.
