If you wish to have restoration
work carried out on your billiard table, as well
as the more standard types of repair work (see
"Repairs and Maintenance") the table
needs to be transported to our factory. This means
moving costs become involved.
Restoration of Tables
Polished
Woodwork:
Depending upon the condition of the table and
the result you are seeking, restoration of the
polished woodwork may include:
 Patching
or replacing some damaged areas
Stripping
or sanding areas to remove existing timber finishes
Sanding
or hand turning of legs
Repolishing
all of the show woodwork; or repolishing some
areas and
using the existing polish base to lift the finish
on others
The Slate Bed:
Restoration work on the slate bed of the table
usually involves:
Erecting
the table frame and replaning the surface true
to spirit level and straight
edge
Fitting
the slate bed
Repairing
the slates as necessary
Replacing
wooden slate linings as necessary
Checking pocket opening
profiles and adjusting as necessary
Replacing
or refitting slate dowels
Grinding
slates true to spirit level and straight edge
Restoration of Accessories:
Some billiard table accessories
are valuable items in themselves, which means
that restoration work may be justified. In such
cases procedures may vary, depending upon the
damage the item has sustained and its likely restored
value.
At Heiron & Smith, we recommend that
restoration work only be carried out following
submission of a written quote and some discussion
about the value of the table or other item following
restoration.
