Traditional Chair Caning You Can Trust
With over 45 years of experience, I restore cane, rush, seagrass and cord chairs using time-honoured techniques that last.

If you have an old rush, cane, seagrass or cord chair that you can no longer use, I’m here to help. I provide professional chair caning and restoration services across London, giving tired or broken seating a new lease of life while preserving its original character and sentimental value.
Many traditional chairs are beautifully made and deserve to be restored rather than thrown away. With expert craftsmanship and time‑honoured techniques, I offer a cost‑effective and sustainable alternative that allows you to continue enjoying the furniture you love.

My work has delighted clients across London and the South East, many of whom return time and again or recommend my services to friends and family.
A broken cane or rush seat doesn’t mean the end of a chair’s life. In most cases, re‑caning or re‑seating is far more economical than replacing furniture, especially when the chair holds sentimental or historical value.
I carefully assess each chair and provide honest advice on the best restoration option. Whether it’s a single chair or a full set, my aim is always to deliver long‑lasting results that look right and stand the test of time.

I provide chair caning and restoration services throughout London and surrounding areas, including:
I also cover nearby locations such as Richmond, Chiswick, Clapham, Battersea and Wimbledon. If you’re unsure whether I cover your area, please get in touch.

“Fantastic service and attention to detail. Ray clearly takes great pride in his work and it shows in the finished result. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend London Chair Caning to anyone.”
“I was impressed by how knowledgeable and honest Ray was. He explained the process clearly and delivered exactly what he promised. The chairs look beautiful.”
If you’d like to discuss chair re‑caning, restoration, upholstery or French polishing, I’m always happy to offer friendly, knowledgeable advice.
