Specialising in reviving historic pieces, we employ meticulous techniques to restore antique furniture while preserving original character. Services include structural repairs, finish renewal, and replication of missing elements using period-appropriate materials and methods.

Report
We used Beckingham for some cupboards in our new build house and have been very pleased with the service and quality, as well as the thinking outside the box (eg how to allow for underfloor heating directly underneath the units). Very helpful and would certainly recommend Tony and the guys.
