I'd be happy with that as a custy mate

A vast improvement by any measures.....

Nice job Derek

Did you do your training with furniture clinic? What was the cost of the training and the kit including your colours etc ?

Paul - Kinder Clean

[clinton]

Thats a good job done derek

I would be pleased if that was my car.

did my training with LTT in harrogate. did all 4 days and loved every minute of it,
prices for the courses are on there website, www.lttsolutions.net (i think!) and the kit varies in price depending on what you need, i all ready had my cleaning stuff and lacquers so didn't need to buy them again.
all in all, worth every penny.

and like shaun said, the satisfaction you get from repairing leather beats carpet cleaning hands down, if i could get enough work from leather cleaning and repairing alone, there'd be a top notch TM for sale straight away, either that or i'd get my mate to run that side of the biz.

Looks a nice job Derek.

[Mike Osbourne]

Well done Derek, that should 'bolster' your confidence with leather.

[Doctor Carpet (Ret'd)]

Fantastic job Derek. That'll give you confidence for the next one.

Good on yer!

Did you get the site sorted

[Aquakleen Restoration Services]

Very impressive!!

[CarPete Cleaning]

Well Done Derek - looks like a great result to me !!

Good to see that you are putting skills we learnt to good use.

cheers,
Pete

I think that the hardest bit is mixing the colour after that it's quite easy, oh and finding the work regularly, Furniture Clinic do a franchise where they pass you work on from their website.

Shaun

[LTT Leathercare]

LTT do a referral service without having to pay for a franchise!!

pete
you done any yet? thats my second colour mix out side of ltt, + the one me and you did. must admit i'm enjoying it but i could do with a lot more leather work. its amazing how, once youve done the restoration training the cleaning improves dramatically, main reason being, if you scrub a bit to hard you can always rectify the problem, ive cleaned 2 suites since our course and noticed paint transfer on my cloth, so i always lacquer afterwards to seal it in.

think i need to pull my finger out and start pushing this side of the business.

"RICKYYYYYYYYYYY" any news?

derek

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Don't forget the £90 fee though Judy

I do get some from FC but prefer to source my own work but FC's come FOC.

Shaun

[LTT Leathercare]

What £90.00 fee is that Shaun??

[Shaun_Ashmore]

The one you wanted to take off me to add you to your website when we spoke last time.

Shaun

PS was it £90? thinking about it may have been more.

[LTT Leathercare]

The referral scheme does not work like that Shaun. 
You are referring to the advertising on the website which we no longer do
