About
Gerard Bur, BADA Dip.
Master Craftsman
What I do
Using a combination of traditional and up to date methods and materials, I repair and restore all kinds of furniture and wooden items.
The Victorian chair your uncle broke when he leant back in it; a marquetry box with missing pieces; the oak table top damaged by hot mugs of tea.
I can make your beloved pieces look as they did before they were damaged, or refresh tired pieces that just need a bit of TLC.
I work closely with an excellent upholsterer and have contacts with other specialisms.
The real thing
In order to asses what needs to be done to your piece of furniture or antique object I need to see it in the flesh. Photographs can only tell part of the story.
It's all in the detail
I work on big restoration projects sometimes, but I'm equally happy with small pieces. I love problem-solving. Making tiny pieces of inlay, turning a wooden knob to replace a missing one, making a key that fits, even!
