Furniture Restoration

Burl By Design can carry out minor repairs on most timber furniture, including stabilisation of loose/fragile joints, resurfacing to remove stains and abrasions, and rejuvenation of timeworn finishes. We understand the value, both intrinsic and sentimental, that furniture can have.  Ray can take a tired and worn piece of furniture and lovingly restore it back to its original brilliance. Or if you prefer, he can give a slightly different look to your piece e.g. by modifying the legs, arms or colour of the wood stain.

We encourage giving your worn out furniture a second chance. You might be surprised just how wonderful that aged piece of furniture looks with some restoration craftsmanship.

Ray takes great pride in his work – whether he’s creating a new piece of furniture or restoring a worn table or broken chair. These days, we have become accustomed to mass produced furniture that has a limited lifetime because it has been made from cheap, inferior materials. It can make far more sense to restore your quality pieces of furniture rather than waste money on poorly made replacements.

  • Broken or Worn

    Ray will assess your restoration piece and offer you a cost effective solution to having it back to full working order and looking brilliant. Sometimes Ray will be able to offer you a recycled wooden replacement or handcraft a replacement piece. Burl By Design always encourage recycled timber as an alternative because just like your furniture, the environment is also worth looking after!

  • Aged or Deteriorated

    If it is looking worn and/or damaged, let us restore it to near-original condition or, if you prefer, restore its functionality while retaining its timeworn character.

  • Pricing

    Unsure if it’s worth having one or more of your furniture pieces restored?

    Bring them in for Ray to inspect or he can come to you. He will provide a realistic assessment and offer you the best value-for-money solutions for your project.

  • We saw the value in having our couple of worn yet valued pieced of furniture lovingly restored…Ray made it happen and we can’t thank him enough.

  • Ray attended my home. He sanded back my dining table, using a sander with a vacuum device attached = no dust, no mess. Then he applied oil & the table looks brand new. Ray has used a product that is hard wearing & long lasting. His love for timber is exhibited by his knowledge & passion in restoration of wood furniture. I highly recommend Ray to restore timber furniture.
