T - I - M .... B - E - R !!

OK my faithful blogworms, my topic for this week is .... Hardwood worktops !

Hardwood worktops are wonderful and one of the oldest materials ever used as a kitchen surface, they are naturally anti bacterial, very design friendly, can be cut and machined to almost any shape or size and are eminently practical.

You disagree ! ...... Probably because you've had a bad experience with badly fitted tops and no instructions whatsoever as to how to look after them .... Am I right ??

Here's a couple of pics of some that we are restoring as part of a kitchen refurb at this very moment.

 Yes, I did say RESTORE !. I should have taken some pics before I started really then you could have seen how bad they were but however, we caught them in time to achieve the results you see here.

They have suffered 15 years of lack of knowledge ! That was their only crime !

These tops were not the best quality to begin with but were fitted by someone who didn't really have an understanding of hardwood.
I'm not going to bore you with a list of problems I found but suffice it to say, we took them off, just in the nick of time really, and stripped them back to re-finish.

Starting from scratch with the finishing process, we do all the hard work so you don't have to, in their newly restored state they will now last for a good long time into the future and look fabulous for many years to come. 

The essential difference is that now they are finished properly and a full set of care instructions will be left with the customer, they will be able to understand how to care for them going forward.

We've put together a 2 page A4 leaflet with a set of installation instructions on one side and care instructions on the reverse. 

The installation instructions tell you how and why we do what we do to the timber and the care instructions tell the end user what do and when it needs doing to look after them

It's all very simple, written with 25 years of experience in the field and written in plain simple English so anyone can understand them.

Now the point to this tale of woe with a happy ending is that you too could have a happy ending too if you're in this position. I don't care if someone else supplied and fitted your worktops, if they're struggling and need help just simply email me on : julian@milestone.uk.net or follow us on Facebook: MilestoneEcoKitchens, like our page and leave me a message.

OR use the contact through our website and I'll email you a set of these valuable instructions ...FREE OF CHARGE ... so that together we can start to bring tired timber worktops back to life and looking gorgeous just as they should !

Don't delay and DON'T BE SCEPTICAL, this is a geniune offer with no strings attached

Trying to make the world of timber a better place, Jules.
