Outdoor furniture stripping for another season of life
A solid timber or cast iron garden bench is built to last decades, but flaking paint and tired old varnish let it down. At Global Door Stripping we strip garden benches and outdoor furniture back to bare timber and metal — lifting away weathered paint and varnish so the piece can be properly re-treated.
Many garden benches combine cast iron ends with timber slats, and our process handles both: timber is dipped and stripped back to clean bare wood, ironwork back to bare metal. You get it back ready to oil, stain or paint for years more use — with a flat £30 collection and return across a wide area in England.
Reasons to restore garden furniture
Bring back the natural timber
Weathered, painted slats strip back to clean bare wood.
Ready for another season
Stripped back and re-treated, outdoor furniture lasts years longer.
Cheaper than replacing
Restoring a solid bench costs far less than buying new.
Ready to oil, stain or paint
Comes back as bare timber and metal, ready for your finish.
No mess at home
We collect, strip and return — no mess in your garden or home.
Old paint & varnish removed safely
Flaking old paint and varnish removed properly off-site.

How outdoor furniture stripping works
Assessment
We check each piece’s construction, condition and any fittings to confirm the best method and flag anything that needs special care.
Collection
No transport headaches. We collect from your door at a previously agreed date and time, for a flat £30.
Dipping
Each piece is lowered into a warm caustic solution to lift away every layer of paint, then pressure-washed clean.
Neutralising
Once stripped, each piece is neutralised to remove any remaining agent and prevent future paint or timber problems down the line.
Drying & sanding — optional
We dry the pieces in a controlled environment and sand them smooth, ready for you to apply the finish of your choice.
Wax or oil finish — optional
We offer a wax or oil finish to protect the wood and bring out its natural grain.
Quality inspection
Every piece is checked against our standards before it leaves the workshop.
Delivery
We return your pieces promptly, ready for refitting.

Priced on a free quote
Outdoor furniture is quoted individually because pieces vary so much in size and material. Your quote depends on:
- The size and number of pieces
- Whether it’s timber, metal or both
- Whether you’d like any finishing
There are no hidden fees — you get a clear, fixed quote before we start. Collection and return is a flat £30 for the whole job.
