Osbond and Tutt French Polishers have provided a high quality French Polishing service since 1986 to both domestic and commercial clients including numerous celebrity, government, overseas and high calibre projects. Whether you are an interior designer working on a project at a large private estate or an individual that has decided to get their coffee table brought back to its former glory. At our professional workshop based in Wandsworth, London we can make that happen. The intimate nature of our family run French polishing business ensures projects are completed on time using a combination of techniques and processes carried out on site or in our London workshop.
Osbond and Tutt is a third-generation family owned French Polishing business that has expanded to incorporate all types of finishing processes. Today's finishes are often factory applied but when damage occurs and the finish needs to be restored finishing specialists are required, this where Osbond and Tutt excel. Our team of polishers are highly trained and can work on all types of surfaces either on site or at our South London workshops. At Osbond and Tutt we pride ourselves in supplying a bespoke service to every individual client.
Painted finishes can transform an item of furniture to fit in with a contemporary setting. There are wide ranges of colours to choose from and the European standard RAL colour chart is a good guide. However, Farrow and Ball and other well-known brands have developed their own unique colour collection and types of finishes for spray painting. We discuss with our clients what they want to achieve and apply the right product for the best outcome.
Polishing new staircases and rejuvenating existing banisters, stairs and handrails is a significant part of our portfolio working with hotels, historic buildings, commercial and residential properties for more than three decades. Colour matching to a desired finish or providing a completely new look is all part of our service. We use materials most suited to the project and carry out the work at times convenient for our customer.
Perhaps you have just acquired an antique at auction or inherited a family heirloom or fallen in love with an item that needs restoration. Osbond and Tutt will discuss with you how best to restore your furniture. Our highly skilled craftsman will use their traditional skills to restore the value and appearance of your treasured possession.
Doors take a lot of opening and closing and in doing so sustain a lot of damage. A high-quality lacquer designed for high impact is recommended. At Osbond and Tutt we provide clear and coloured lacquers that bring out the elegance of the wood and the entire RAL colour pallet. Wash finishes and specialist one off colours are available. For public spaces such and Hotels, Bars and Restaurants we provide Fire Retardant, Water resistant and Alcohol resistant finishes.
Today there are many alternative finishes to choose from depending on the look you want to achieve and in what environment the product or item is being used. For example, a bar may need an alcohol resistant finish and a wet room a water-resistant finish. There are coloured lacquers, and painted finishes as well as liming and oiled finishes that bring out the natural attributes of wood. All which Osbond and Tutt provide to create that unique and functional look our client's desire.
Be it an Apartment, House, Estate or Palace Osbond and Tutt have worked in all types of properties. Our experience with the unique requirements of our clients over many years means that we can deal with all situations and requests. We work closely with property owners, Interior Designers and Architects to meet their exacting requirements and relish the opportunity to meet new challenges.
Our portfolio of commercial properties has developed over several decades and includes Office Suites, Hotels, Museums, Art Galleries, Government Buildings, Historic Buildings, Arenas, Restaurants and Bars. Working with Developers, Architects, Interior Designers, Managers and maintenance teams we structure the work through consultation to achieve the desired result in the best possible time frame. This often means working out of normal hours when the building is closed or quietly through the night when working at a hotel.
With age traditional adhesives deteriorate and joints work loose this makes the item unstable and without repair will worsen and the item lose value and may become unusable. Often veneers lift or bits go missing, beading breaks off, leather tops wear out, all these issues and more can be repaired in our South London workshops.
