Questions about this service
Can deep burns or dents be removed entirely?
Shallow marks lift out completely during preparation, while deep burns are filled with colour-matched timber wax to blend into the surrounding grain.
Must the table be taken away to your workshop?
Larger dining tables are normally collected and worked on in our Leicester workshop to ensure proper drying conditions, though simple top oiling can occur on site.
How soon may we dine on the table after work concludes?
Light use is permissible after forty-eight hours, with full curing taking approximately seven days.
