Loose Chair Frame Re-Gluing

Loose Chair Frame Re-Gluing

A dedicated service for wobbling dining chairs, armchairs, and stools suffering from dried animal glue. We dismantle loose joints cleanly, clean aged adhesive from mortises, insert hardwood shims where necessary, and re-glue under sash clamp tension. The chair regains its structural integrity without unsightly screws.

How We Undertake Your Commission

  1. 1

    Joint Disassembly

    Loose rails and stretchers are tapped apart using non-marring dead-blow mallets.

  2. 2

    Adhesive Removal

    Old brittle glue is pared out of sockets to ensure fresh wood-to-wood bonding.

  3. 3

    Tenon Fitting and Re-Gluing

    Tenons are shimmed for tight contact and clamped square under heavy bar clamps.

  4. 4

    Level Check and Setting

    The chair is checked on a dead-flat slate surface to confirm all four legs touch evenly.
