At AutoWood in Calveley, Cheshire we specialise in restoring Bentley woodtrim to its original splendour. Our workshop concentrates on the authentic repair and conservation of dashboards, door cappings, centre consoles, veneer inlays and steering-wheel inserts, carrying out careful assessment and stabilisation before any repair work begins. Our craftsmen conserve and repair historic veneers, match rare timbers such as burr walnut and walnut burl, and recreate period-accurate finishes using traditional techniques including hand-sanding, shellac and French-polish methods where appropriate. We source reclaimed and sustainably sourced timbers when exact matches are required, re-cut inlays and repair cracked or delaminated veneers by steaming, re-gluing and re-clamping with historic practice in mind. Each restoration balances preservation with sympathetic renewal: we retain as much original material as possible, document interventions, and where replacement is necessary we match grain, colour and figure to deliver an authentic appearance. Work carried out in our Calveley workshop is finished for lasting quality and roadworthiness, with options for lacquered or hand-rubbed finishes to suit the vehicle’s period and Bentley specification. For owners seeking meticulous, conservation-led Bentley woodtrim restoration in Cheshire, AutoWood provides bespoke craftsmanship and detailed reporting throughout the project.
