VitalbodybalanceSurface Stripping and Hand-Finished Waxing
Intended for timber tables, dressers, and chests affected by darkened, dirt-encrusted, or peeling topcoats.

The bare wood is neutralized, buffed, and sealed with traditional beeswax and carnauba blends.

Why Norwich Clients Entrust Us with Wood
No Chemical Dip Damage
We do not dip items into caustic soda vats, protecting internal glue joints from dissolving and grain from rising.

Wax finishes accommodate natural timber moisture changes without cracking or delaminating.
Straightforward Future Maintenance
Scratches on a waxed surface can be buffed out locally at home without needing total stripping.
Feedback from Furniture Owners
Our Victorian oak dining table had severe water marks and a loose leg joint. Julian disassembled the mortise, reset the joint, and applied a satin tung oil finish that highlighted the natural medullary rays.
Marcus T., Norwich, GBThe team collected our walnut sideboard from our home near Elm Hill. The scratches were blended without removing the original timber patina, and the delivery arrived precisely at the agreed time.
Eleanor W., Norwich, GBSolid repair on four beech spindle chairs that wobbled badly. Every joint is rigid now, and settlement via bank transfer after inspecting the chairs in our kitchen was simple and clear.
