Restoration

Hi Jonny here, one half of Recoup,

My approach is sympathetic, bringing each piece back to its best original condition while keeping its character intact. I try to use as many use earth-friendly products and methods wherever possible. 

The main aim helping save furniture from landfill and giving it a new life.

Restoration doesn’t have to be expensive — often a scratched or worn table can be resurfaced for around a fifth of the cost of buying new.

I do have extensive experience with Ercol Furniture and can provide bespoke quotes for repair and refurbishment. 

Based in Faversham, I work with customers across Kent and the surrounding areas, restoring tables, chairs, cabinets, and other solid wood furniture. Whether it’s a small repair or a full restoration, my aim is always the same: to extend the life of well-made furniture and keep it in use for years to come.

Trade enquires are very welcome I have some regular trade partners, Based on availability I may be able to take on new clients.

Pricing & Enquiries

All prices are a guide and depend on the condition of the piece and the work involved. I’ll always talk you through the options before starting, so you know what’s possible and what makes sense for your furniture.

Trade prices differ depending on volume and scope of work. 

If you’ve got a table, chair, or any piece you think might be beyond repair, feel free to get in touch or pop by the workshop. I’m always happy to take a look and see how I can help.
