French Polishing & Restoration Services in Sussex

Stonebridge Fine Finishing provides specialist French polishing, furniture restoration, wood restoration and fine finishing across Sussex, including East Sussex, West Sussex and surrounding areas.

We restore, refinish and protect timber in period properties, country homes, contemporary interiors, bespoke joinery and commercial spaces. From antique furniture and original staircases to new joinery and tired wooden floors, every project is approached individually to achieve a durable, beautifully finished result.

Combining traditional craftsmanship with modern finishing techniques, we work with the natural character of the timber to create finishes that complement the property and its interior.

French Polishing Sussex

French polishing is a traditional hand-finishing technique known for its depth, warmth and distinctive sheen. It enhances the natural grain of timber while providing a refined and protective finish.

Our French polishing services in Sussex include:

• Antique and period furniture

• Dining tables and desks

• Cabinets and cupboards

• Doors and staircases

• Handrails and balustrades

• Wall panelling

• Bespoke joinery

• Architectural woodwork

• Residential and commercial interiors

Every piece is assessed individually so the preparation and finishing process can be matched to the timber, its condition and the desired result.

Furniture Restoration Sussex

Quality timber furniture can often be restored rather than replaced. Scratches, fading, stains, worn finishes and general age can affect the appearance of a piece without compromising its underlying quality.

Stonebridge Fine Finishing provides furniture restoration and refinishing throughout Sussex, working on:

• Antique and period furniture

• Dining tables

• Desks

• Cabinets and cupboards

• Chests and drawers

• Wooden chairs

• Veneered furniture

• Bespoke and heirloom pieces

Where possible, we preserve the original character and materials while repairing damage and restoring the finish.

Wood Restoration & Refinishing

Sunlight, moisture, everyday use and ageing coatings can all affect timber over time.

Our wood restoration and refinishing services in Sussex can include:

• Surface preparation

• Removal of old finishes

• Wood repairs

• Colour matching

• Refinishing

• Protective finishing

• Restoration of existing timber

We work on individual furniture pieces as well as staircases, doors, panelling, joinery and other architectural woodwork.

Joinery Finishing & Restoration

New and original joinery requires a finish that complements its craftsmanship and surroundings.

We provide specialist joinery finishing and restoration in Sussex, including:

• Staircases and handrails

• Balustrades

• Doors

• Wall panelling

• Bespoke cabinetry

• Built-in furniture

• Architectural joinery

• New joinery finishing

• Restoration of existing woodwork

Where new timber needs to match original woodwork, we can develop a bespoke colour-matched finish for a consistent appearance.

Bespoke Wood Colour Matching Sussex

Matching new timber to existing furniture or architectural woodwork requires more than simply applying a standard stain.

We provide bespoke wood colour matching across Sussex for period properties, extensions, renovations, bespoke joinery, furniture restoration and interior projects.

Finishes can be developed to complement surrounding timber, helping new and existing woodwork sit naturally together.

Wood Repairs Sussex

Damaged timber does not always need to be replaced.

We carry out major and minor wood repairs throughout Sussex, addressing scratches, dents, worn areas and other damage before refinishing.

Our restoration-focused approach aims to retain original materials and character wherever practical, particularly when working with antique furniture, period properties and original architectural features.

Wood Floor Sanding & Refinishing Sussex

Wooden floors can become scratched, dull and worn through years of everyday use.

Our wood floor sanding and refinishing services in Sussex can include preparation, sanding, repairs, colour adjustment and application of a suitable protective finish.

Professional refinishing can restore the appearance and protection of an existing timber floor without the need for complete replacement.

Paint, Varnish & Finish Removal

Old paint, varnish and coatings can conceal the natural character of timber.

We provide careful paint, varnish and finish removal in Sussex for furniture, joinery and wooden surfaces, preparing the timber for restoration, refinishing or a new bespoke finish.

Specialists in Traditional & Contemporary Timber Finishing

Sussex properties range from historic town houses and period cottages to country estates, traditional farmhouses and modern developments. Each presents different requirements when it comes to timber.

Original joinery may require sympathetic restoration, antique furniture may benefit from traditional French polishing, and new cabinetry may need to be carefully colour matched to existing woodwork.

We assess the timber, its condition and the surrounding interior before selecting the most appropriate preparation and finishing process.

The aim is not simply to make timber look new, but to restore, enhance and protect it while respecting its character.
