1 / Describe the piece
Tell us the furniture type, your main concern and how it is used. You do not need technical terms or a guessed date.
Before the bench
The object.
The scope.
Your agreement.
Tell us what has changed or needs attention. We examine the piece before proposing repairs, so the work fits its condition and the way you use it.
2 / Arrange the examination
The object may need to be examined in person. Access, size and transport requirements are discussed before any arrangements are made.
3 / Review the proposal
The proposed work distinguishes structural repair, local surface work and optional appearance changes. It also records limitations and areas left untouched.
4 / Agree before treatment
Changes to the scope need agreement. An enquiry alone does not authorise work or reserve workshop time.
What helps at the start.
Approximate size, the location of movement or damage, any known earlier repairs and the object’s intended use. Keep original paperwork if you have it; uncertain history can stay uncertain.
