Restoration in West Yorkshire, in numbers
18 restorers across 10 towns. 18 of them name French polishing, which makes it the common thread here as it is almost everywhere. After that it is antiques (8), spray finishing (5) and colour matching (2). Cane or rush seating, gilding, veneer repair and woodworm treatment 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.
15 have their own website, and for 3 we hold no site of their own so the link goes to their Google listing. 14 describe their own work in their own words; for the other 4 we are going on the trading name alone, and the listing says so.
The towns with the most are Leeds (5), Wakefield (3), Ilkley (2) and Huddersfield (2). A further 6 towns have a single restorer each, which is worth knowing if you would rather not put a piece in a van for an hour.
The broadest range of skills we hold in West Yorkshire is at The Furniture Repair Shop, Antique Furniture Restoration and French Polishing in Keighley, which names cane or rush seating, French polishing, gilding, period specialism, veneer repair and woodworm treatment: a sensible first call if your piece needs more than one thing doing to it.
The Furniture Repair Shop, Antique Furniture Restoration and French Polishing in Keighley, Simon Rickles Furniture Restoration in Leeds and The Furniture Hospital Leeds in Leeds each describe their work in their own words. 1 business here names four or more separate techniques, which usually means a workshop rather than one person with a polishing kit.
West Yorkshire holds 6% of the restorers we list nationally.
