Our approach

At Paleamber we make sure our impact on the environment is minimal and carry out all of our work with this in mind. Here are a few reasons why we differ from many other polishing companies:

  • We make certain that a high percentage of our work is the restoration and repair of wood products, rather than all new wood. We help ensure that non-sustainable wood, particularly solid woods, are retained as the treasures that they are.


  • We are careful about the materials and products we use.
    • We use water-based rather than oil or solvent-based products where possible.
    • When polishing floors we use water-borne lacquers.
    • All our colours are from natural pigments.
    • We favour French polish which is a natural product, shellac, mixed with pure alcohol.


  • We will always try advise our customers to repair and restore their wood products, rather than replace them for new items.
