To complement our range of stripping activities, at our Brook Street Depot we hold a large showroom full of old pine, oak and painted furniture.

Doors & Furniture are stripped either by hand using a very strong industrial chemical, or in our tanks of hot caustic soda. Any chemicals used are then neutralised with hot water for no additional cost. We will offer advice as to the expected outcome of any stripping process on request but this is advice only as we wont know for sure what your doors or furniture are like until they have been fully stripped. We cannot accept any responsibility for the outcome of the stripping process if it is other than originally advised.
