If you often have guests in your home you may be more conscious of the flaws, tears, marks, scratches, stains or frays in your furniture. No matter how well you look after your furniture, time will eventually lead to wear and damage of some kind or another. If you have young children or pets you're more likely to need remedial furniture repair to your upholstery, furniture or woodwork. Alan Farr can offer local, skilled and affordable furniture repair services from Birmingham to Manchester and everywhere in between.
French polishing is the skilful layering of Shellac resin on wood which provides a high gloss, protective finish that is both practical and beautiful. Here at Alan Farr Ltd, we have extensive experience as French Polishers and can carry out our services for a range of restoration projects, from domestic, commercial and heritage. Wood is a sensitive material and requires protection from humidity and sunlight, as well as general wear, tear and footfall. Shellac also enhances the natural appearance of wood, highlighting the grain and providing a deeper, richer colour.
Any commercial business that has a customer facing environment knows how important presentation is to success. No matter how good your customer service or product is, if you are not presenting yourself to customers at your best, this can affect customer behaviour and opinion, which can in turn affect your profit and growth in the long run. If you have damaged or worn out furniture or displays in your shop, it can reduce customer satisfaction as well as your desirability and customer confidence in your brand.
Office buildings say a lot about who you are, what you offer and how trustworthy you are as a company. All commercial and office spaces need to leave your clients and stakeholders with a good impression, but when office furniture, fixtures, flooring or installations become worn or broken, this directly impacts your representation to those you want to impress or entice into business. Refurbishing an office space and replacing office furniture can be costly, which is why repairing or restoring furniture is the quickest, most cost effective option available.
