Dipping doors...

[Richardk]

We have 8 sets of double doors and a few singles which ideally we'd like to strip back to wood. We don't have the time (too many other projects....) to hand-strip all of these and hence would be interested to find somewhere which will strip doors through dipping. Is this a service people have found in France? It's not easy to locate in the UK but here we are having real problems. We're located in Aude (11) in Languedoc.

By the by, I am aware of the potential pitfalls of dipping.

Thanks,

Richard

As previous post - we've used this service - a good one in Chatearoux in the centre.

We had all our shutters done, plus 3 interior doors, which we've waxed ( had lots of admiring comments made about these) and just recently the back door.

It's not cheap - but very good. You have to be careful because the wood can shrink.

Please can you let us know where in Chatearoux as this is part of the winter works!!

Nick / Jean - many thanks for your replies. I looked in the Pages Jaunes after you mentioned it Nick and there was 3 listed in Aude...great news.

I just didn't know what to look for before and no one I asked had any idea what so ever.

Thanks,

Richard
