Looking for a carpenter/joiner for furniture repair/ furniture building

Recommended Posts

I have got a lovely wooden and leather mid-century sofa........but the wooden frame has been cracked and splintered.


I'm either looking for someone who can help do the best possible repairs (on the understanding that it won't probably won't look perfect as the wood has cracked)


OR....


If it's not salvageable, I would like to take the leather seat and back and have a whole new frame made for it. Preferably, out of reclaimed wood. Any style ideas welcome.


Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you

Hello,


I would recommend Rafal from RWL Carpentry - 07749 443 569 - he recently completed a new internal doorway for us in our hallway and it looks great. Reasonably priced, polite and accommodating. Punctual and tidy. Really pleased.


In reference to the sofa frame specifically hwilliams - i would suggest speaking to Bob at Fowlds Upholstery in Addington Square. He is a proper old upholsterer and knows his stuff so may be able to give you some advice over the phone. Good luck.


Thanks

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch.

    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
