About Us
We are specialists in French Polishing - repairs, restoration and finishing
Established in 2006, R Young & Sons French Polishing Limited continues a family trade dating back to 1873.
From a young age Robert showed a keen interest in French polishing and began learning the art of traditional hand French polishing from his grandfather James. This included the preparation, mixing of stains and finishing using traditional methods and materials.
Whilst serving his apprenticeship at Locks of London, Robert carried out his studies and qualified at the London College of Furniture.
We carry out the finishing and restoration to your domestic pieces such as coffee tables, dining tables, kitchen units, floors, panelling, handrails and staircases.

A big thank you to R Young & Sons French Polishing Limited for repairing our sliding doors after our dog scratched them. The doors look brand new, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!
Professional, skilled, and efficient—highly … More recommend their services! -
Thank you Rob, we are delighted with the work you have carried out for us.
Our Victorian oak dining table and Ercol chairs were damaged by a water leak. As they needed some work to restore them we decided to take the opportunity to lighten … More the very dark oak to a more natural warm honey colour. They look amazing now with a much more modern and stylish finish. Thank you so much for your hard work. -
Very pleased with the sensitive restoration of an inherited mid century sideboard. Damage from 60 years in a south facing window, and accident with a bottle of cooking oil all restored, and a discrete more forgiving finish applied.
