About Me - Michael Ellis

On leaving school I studied Furniture Craft at The London College of Furniture. I then served a 3-year French Polishing Apprenticeship with Ashby & Horner, obtaining my City & Guilds Qualification

I have over 25-years experience in French Polishing and Specialist Wood Finishing, including 7 years as a Site Manager for a large French Polishing Contractor

Over the years I have worked in a wide range of buildings from domestic to commercial sites such as palaces, theatres, hotels and banks.

Having undertaken a furniture craft course I decided to become a french polisher. I’ve always enjoyed working with wood and to see furniture restored back to it’s former glory has always given me real satisfaction.

Highly Competitive Rates

I have lower overheads than larger companies and can pass these savings on to my clients.

Professional & Personal Service

Each job is tailored to the clients individual requirements. You deal only with me from the initial meeting to final completion of work.

Work Completed to the Highest of Standards

You can feel assured work will be carried out by a highly-skilled, professional craftsman

AFFORDABLE PRICES

Many items can be restored cheaper than buying new.
If you have more than one item to be polished ,this also helps to keep the cost down.
