repairs
We provide expert repair of modern pieces to delicate antiques. Our experienced craftsmen restore functionality and integrity using traditional techniques and a careful, conservation-led approach — preserving the character and value of every piece.
up-cycling
We reimagine existing pieces through thoughtful design, custom finishes, and refined detailing — transforming furniture into distinctive, functional statements. Whether updating proportions, enhancing textures, or introducing contemporary colour, our up-cycling process delivers one-of-a-kind pieces that elevate your space while honouring the original craftsmanship.
re-polishing
We restore, resurface, and refinish furniture using traditional and modern techniques. From durable commercial finishes to delicate hand-polished antiques, we tailor every finish — including stain, polish, or paint — to suit your furniture, style, and space.
Outdoor furniture
We restore outdoor furniture damaged by sun, rain, and the elements. With the right preparation and protective finishes, our team can repair, refinish and protect timber, metal, and woven pieces, bringing them back to life and extending their durability for years of enjoyment.
re-upholstery
We provide expert upholstery for dining chairs, antique pieces, and full lounge suites. With access to an extensive range of quality fabrics, we can preserve a classic look or completely transform your furniture to suit your style — restoring comfort, character, and longevity.
Commercial furniture
We specialise in restoring commercial furniture, including restaurant seating, dining tables, and boardroom tables. Our team carefully repairs and refinishes each piece to ensure it looks professional, functions perfectly, and withstands daily use — helping businesses maintain a polished and welcoming environment.
custom creations
While restoration is at the heart of what we do, A1 Furniture also undertakes select custom furniture projects. We occasionally create bespoke pieces for clients seeking something unique or designed to suit a specific space. Built with the same attention to detail, quality materials, and craftsmanship we apply to all our work, our custom pieces are thoughtfully constructed to ensure both functionality and lasting durability. If you have a special project in mind, we’re always happy to discuss your ideas and see how we can bring them to life.
why replace when you can restore?
When furniture is damaged or worn, replacement might seem like the easiest option — but restoration often offers far greater value.
Preserve what matters
Many pieces hold sentimental value — a family dining table, a treasured heirloom, or a favourite chair. Restoration allows you to keep the memories while giving the piece new life.
A Sustainable Choice
Restoration keeps furniture out of landfill and reduces the environmental impact of manufacturing new pieces. Choosing to restore is a practical and environmentally responsible decision.
Built to Last
Older furniture is often crafted from solid timber using traditional joinery methods that surpass much of today’s mass-produced alternatives. Restoring a well-made piece can provide decades of continued use and durability.
insurance advantage
If damage occurs through fire, flood, or accidental impact, restoration through insurance often allows you to retain your original piece rather than settling for a replacement of lesser quality.
A smarter investment
Replacing high-quality furniture can be costly. In many cases, professional restoration is more cost-effective than purchasing new — especially when handled through insurance.
Make it your own
Restoration also offers the opportunity to refresh fabrics, finishes, or colours while maintaining the integrity of the original piece — combining character with your personal style.
