Woodmill - Restoring Benches and Kneelers all over the UK...
The team at Hayes & Finch certainly know how to reverse the signs of ageing, the most recent project had us restoring 28 pews from a Church in Ireland!
The pews arrived in Liverpool and needed completely stripping off the old dark varnish, revealing the beautiful pitch pine original timber. The team managed to take the pews apart, sand each individual part, before putting them all back together and then applying 4 coats of clear lacquer to each one.
You can see the level of detail these pews have been through in our before and after photographs below. The pews will soon be returned to the Church in Ireland, where they're busy decorating the Church interior, preparing to welcome back their pews.
Since the pandemic Churches have re-opened their doors to parishioners, and now some of the Church kneelers are in need of replacement. The team at Hayes & Finch are more than capable of providing this service, whether this is creating brand new or refurbishing the old!
We offer free quotations and will travel the whole of the UK and Ireland to carry out the work. We will also work around your budget, giving options that fit around you. This includes the option of not having all pews done at one time, you can chose how many tired kneelers you'd like us to work on and then, as funds allow, continue with the remaining replacements.
