Loose chair joints
Give a wobbly chair a firm footing again. Loose joints are carefully taken apart, old glue is removed, and the parts are refitted, reglued, and clamped with an adhesive suited to the piece.

Bring your furniture
back to life.
The chair with a place at every family gathering. The cabinet passed down through generations. Good furniture holds more than its own weight — it holds memories. Let’s give yours another chapter.
A little attention.
A lot more life.
From a loose chair joint to a scarred tabletop, thoughtful repair can make a familiar piece a pleasure to use again. Peter brings his carpentry and cabinetry background to work that respects the wood, its construction, and the character you want to keep.
Furniture repair
Structural & joinery repairs
A favourite chair should feel as dependable as it is familiar. Restore strength where the years have loosened things up.
Broken spindles or legs
Repair cracked or broken chair legs, spindles, slats, and stretchers. Well-fitted glue joints and reinforcement where needed help bring strength back to the damaged area.
Stripped screw holes
Restore a secure hold for loose hinges, fittings, and table legs. Damaged screw holes can be repaired with fitted wood plugs or suitable reinforcement, then carefully redrilled for the hardware.
Furniture repair
Cosmetic & surface repairs
Keep the character you love and soften the damage you don’t. Thoughtful repairs help the wood’s grain and colour shine through again.
Deep scratches & gouges
Reduce the appearance of damage that reaches into the wood. Carefully matched fills, levelling, and finish touch-ups help the repaired area blend with the surrounding surface.
Chipped or peeling veneer
Lifted edges can be secured and missing areas repaired with a suitable patch or fill. Attention to the grain, colour, and thin veneer layer helps preserve the look of the piece.
Water rings & heat marks
Assess cloudy rings, heat marks, and finish discolouration, then choose a treatment suited to the existing finish. Deeper damage may call for a more involved finish repair.
Furniture repair
Drawers, doors & cabinets
Bring back the everyday pleasure of furniture that works as it should, with smoother movement and a sound, square structure.
Sticky or sticking drawers
Help stubborn drawers slide comfortably again. Repairs can include easing tight spots, suitable lubrication, and rebuilding worn wooden runners to restore their fit and support.
Sagging cabinet backs
Bring a cabinet back into alignment and restore its support. A loose or sagging back can be refitted and secured after checking the cabinet’s shape, joints, and original construction.
Every piece has its own history. Share a few photos so Peter can discuss the right repair.

Peter’s craft began in carpentry and cabinetmaking, with a love of timber and the satisfaction of making things by hand. That same curiosity is still at home in his workshop.
