Restoration in Surrey, in numbers
11 restorers across 9 towns. 10 of them name French polishing, which makes it the common thread here as it is almost everywhere. After that it is antiques (6), spray finishing (3) and colour matching (2). Cane or rush seating, gilding, wood turning, floor sanding and wax finishing are scarce here, each offered by three businesses or fewer, so for those jobs expect to send a piece further than you would for a repolish.
7 have their own website, 1 runs a Facebook page instead, and for 3 we hold no site of their own so the link goes to their Google listing. 9 describe their own work in their own words; for the other 2 we are going on the trading name alone, and the listing says so. One works from more than one address, listed once rather than once per town.
The broadest range of skills we hold in Surrey is at JM French Polishing Surrey in Tadworth, which names colour matching, floor sanding, French polishing, spray finishing and wax finishing: a sensible first call if your piece needs more than one thing doing to it.
JM French Polishing Surrey in Tadworth, Tobias Biggs in Reigate and Finishing Touches Surrey Ltd in Addlestone each describe their work in their own words. 2 businesses here name four or more separate techniques, which usually means a workshop rather than one person with a polishing kit.
Surrey holds 3% of the restorers we list nationally.
