We generally aim for an overall height of 31″ (787mm).

If you think you require something different then please do let us know and we can then accomodate.

All of our tables are made so that the top is easily removable for delivery and access. The weight of the table complete means that the top is taken off to make the delivery easy. If you require the table to dismantle further, we can make the frame to come apart and assemble in situ. Please ask us for detail on this for your required style.

All of our tables are made to order therefore, we can make to your exact size requirement. Obviously, you have some idea of the space you have but, you need to take into account chairs or benches tucked in but, when also in use. There is nothing worse than sitting down to eat with family or friends and being all bunched up and uncomfortable, You need to allow for a little elbow room. If you wish to seat people on either end of the table, we can set the legs in a little for more comfort – just let us know when you order.

We recommend our traditional finish of wax polish and hard wax oil as we have used these products on our timbers for some 30 years now and believe them to be a solid and durable finish. Wood being a natural product, varies naturally in colour therefore, when a wax or oil is applied the colour variation is highlighted.

Character grade oak is a mid range classification that highlights the trees natural growth features. What does it mean? The wood will have knots, surface marks and colour variation. These are not imperfections – these are what provides the character. The opposite to Character is Prime Oak. We do not stock Prime Oak. Prime Oak material has a uniform appearance with a even colour tone and minimal knots.

You can put your oak table onto a floor with underfloor heating. There are few rules to follows to ensure your table is cared for though.
1) Ensure the table is well sealed and kept sealed to avoid moisture getting into the wood.
2) Control the floor temperature to a safe surface temperature
3) Avoid sudden temperature changes
4) Manage the room humidity correctly.

You will receive a complementary care kit with your table which, contains the exact products we use on your finish. Along with that, a full care guide and how to. Generally, you do not need to wax or oil your table immeadiately but, we do recommend further coats of oil periodically for a good wearing surface.

Providing your table has the hard wax oil finish, we recommend wiping your table over with a damp (not wet) kitchen cloth to keep it clean and then dry with a paper towel or dry cloth. Do not use any harsh chemicals, a natural daily kitchen cleaner will suffice. We recommend keeping your table clean after use and avoid any spills or marks to maintain the natural finish.

Real wood is a natural living product. All of the timber that we use for our tables and furniture is kiln dried. This means that the moisture has been taken out of the wood until it’s ready for use. This makes the wood stable and ready for use. The room temperature and humidity is priority to letting the table acclimatise.

When it comes to home improvement projects, installing wood flooring can be a game-changer. Not only does it add elegance and warmth to your space, but it also increases the value of your home.

Whether you want to lay solid wood flooring on a concrete subase or over floor joists, we will walk you through the process. We’ll also help you determine which rooms are suitable for wooden floors and explore the different types of wooden flooring available.

Yes, we offer wooden, slate, quartz and granite worktops. Depending on your location (we can only offer the Southwest) we will come out measure your existing kitchen (with the old tops removed for accuracy), machine here and then come back to fit. Please contact us for a quotation and more details.

Quartz has been in the news recently for health reasons. Not for use in the home but, for the health of the person or persons machining it pre fitting. We use a water fed machine to machine all of our stone materials and staff are fully equipped with PPE for safety. Water fed machining keeps the fine dust away and is much safer than dry machining.
