DIP N STRIP

Hot caustic soda stripping is the best way to remove paint from wooden furniture, doors and metal. It leaves the surface clean and when thoroughly dry wooden surfaces can be sanded and waxed to achieve that 'great aged' look.

Most stripping is carried out the day after it is received - please allow three or four days for drying. A local collection & delivery service is available.

When having doors stripped we would ask you to take off any locks, handles, hooks fingerplates etc. Hinges and thumb latches may be left on.

This technique uses Caustic Soda to strip painted and varnished softwoods and metal. Softwood items that can be stripped this way include cupboards, shelves, drawers, desks, tables, chairs, dressers, doors, skirting board, architrave, fire surrounds and wardrobes. Cast iron fireplaces and other painted metal work can also be stripped.

This method uses a heated dip tank into which the furniture is fully submerged and left to soak. On removal from the tank the item is washed off with water and left to dry.

Old doors, are stripped in a caustic solution. The residue is then removed by pressure washing.

The items are left to dry slowly and naturally to avoid shrinking, then placed into a dehumidified storage area until the drying process is complete.

Chairs, tables, wardrobes, bedroom furniture, garden furniture - anything that is wood or cast iron can be stripped and finished. Why spend a fortune on new furniture when you can get your desired look by stripping and finishing furniture you already own?
