Kilmister Furniture Restoration has been offering furniture restoration and repair in Wellington since 1990. We have extensive experience servicing a range of customers from home furniture jobs to large commercial projects.
While furniture in Wellington is no different from the rest of the country, the capital’s landscape and range of customers are unique. We love Wellington and are particularly proud of our boardroom table and antique furniture restoration projects in the area. Here are some key considerations if you live in Wellington and are considering furniture restoration.
It is no secret that Wellington’s roads, particularly in the city centre and central suburbs, can be steep and narrow, posing challenges for drivers of large vehicles and trucks.
When choosing a furniture restorer in Wellington, ensure they can safely pick up and deliver within the city. At Kilmister Furniture Restoration, we have a perfectly sized, modern delivery van that can easily navigate and back up narrow roads.
With years of experience servicing the Wellington region, Tony and the team have extensive knowledge of the local terrain and traffic patterns. This helps us to promptly, and safely, pick up and deliver work.
As they say, ‘the proof is in the pudding.’ What this means in terms of antique or modern furniture restoration in Wellington is being able to see and read examples of a restorer’s good work before choosing them. It is easy for a furniture restorer in Wellington, or any business, to promote themselves. When truly comparing your options, seeing what other past customers have had to say can be a helpful indicator of what the restorer is actually like to deal with.
When looking at reviews for companies offering furniture refinishing in Wellington, look for keywords including:
Kilmister Furniture is proud of our many positive reviews. Our customers have said some kind things about working with us over the years.

In many sectors, especially when it comes to furniture repair in Wellington, you do not want to choose a company that is the jack of all trades and the master of none. Whether modern furniture restoration or antique furniture repair, each aspect of the job requires years of practice and craftsmanship to master.
For some pieces, you may need to get a furniture restorer and upholsterer to collaborate to bring your beloved furniture back to its best. In such cases, choosing a Wellington furniture repairer with strong local connections is critical to ensuring an excellent outcome. Stipulating that such business connections are local ensures time is not wasted with your furniture being sent halfway around the country to be worked on my untrustworthy third parties.
Kilmister Furniture Restoration proudly partners with market-leading local businesses. For our Wellington customers, this means we can manage your entire project, ensuring work from masters of their respective crafts. If you have furniture that needs to be repolished as well as reupholstered, we can organise everything for you, beyond just our service.
By ensuring local handling of your furniture restoration project, you will also support local businesses, keep money in the local economy, and help the community flourish. For the chair below we collaborated with Kelly’s Upholstery. piece
While most businesses are honest, there are some so-called cowboys out there. Before committing to any furniture restoration job in Wellington, requesting a detailed, no-obligation quote is vital.
As with many other trades and service-related jobs, prices can vary greatly. The last thing you want is to be overcharged and pay more than the job is worth. Getting an upfront quote helps to avoid unexpected costs and allows you to budget accurately.
Kilmister Furniture Restoration is known for its straightforward, transparent quoting system for Wellington furniture repair. The easiest thing to do is fill out the form on our website. Here, you just need to fill in basic details and attach an image of the piece of pieces that need work. We will then reply via email or call you to advise you of the cost. Following this, we will provide a formal written quote that you can agree to before any work begins.
If you are unsure where to start with your furniture but know it is not looking its best, you can message us on Facebook. We would be happy to answer any questions. Another helpful resource is our guide on whether to replace or repair furniture. Sometimes, it actually makes financial sense to replace what you already own.
