Questions about this service
Can you fix modern metal drawer slides too?
We specialize in traditional all-wood drawer runners and slides; we do not repair metal roller tracks.
Why do my wooden drawers stick in summer and not winter?
Timber absorbs ambient moisture during humid months and swells; we plane just enough clearance for year-round ease.
Do you need to take the entire wardrobe to the workshop?
No, runner replacement and drawer planing are usually done right inside your room within 2 to 3 hours.
What local furniture owners say
Our Victorian dining table had two loose legs and deep water rings. Julian dismantled the loose joints, reglued them, and blended the finish without wiping out the age marks. Rock solid now.
Mark P., Bristol, GBA mid-century sideboard with stuck drawers and damaged veneer. They picked it up from Clifton, replaced broken internal runners with beech, and delivered it back wrapped in blankets. Opens smooth as silk.
Fiona H., Bristol, GBRepaired four wobbly oak kitchen chairs. Work was clean and finished on time. Paid by bank transfer once they set them back up in my kitchen. Very practical service.
