Honest, straightforward prices for door stripping, furniture stripping, sanding, waxing, collection, delivery and metal restoration.
We do not quote cheap to get your items in and then bump the price up afterwards. If you send us clear photos first, we will give you a fair price before the job starts.
Our aim is to keep pricing simple, fair and easy to understand. Below are guide prices for our most common stripping, sanding, waxing and restoration jobs.
Every item is different. Size, coating type, condition, repairs, water-based paint, transport and finishing can all affect the final cost. If you want a fixed price, send us photos before bringing anything in.
These prices are a guide, not an exhaustive list. For anything unusual, large, delicate, damaged, heavily layered or already partly stripped, please contact us first.

Stripping removes the old paint or varnish. Some customers collect items ready to finish themselves, while others ask us to sand, wax, paint or respray afterwards.
The right finish depends on the item, the timber or metal underneath, whether it will be used inside or outside, and the look you want.
