Repairs
The Frome Shed undertakes repairs for people in the Community, as long as this does not compete with a local Business !
The Frome Shed does not charge commissioners for work – We request donations (Over and above agreed materials costs). These donations may be a small as £2, more usually £5-£20, but may be more – The level of the donation is left completely to the Commissioners discretion.
The Frome Shed will only very rarely choose to undertake a project on any kind of strict timescale – Only if the member Shedder personally agree to commit to a timescale would we accept a project on a strict timescale.
Examples of the work we undertake for people in the Community include:-

Re-rushing or re-caning chairs and stools.
Fixing wobbly (or replacing) legs and arms for chairs or tables
Re-furbishing spinning wheels, pumps, tools, rocking chair, kneeler

Where items cannot be repaired, we sometimes fabricate from scratch - For example a Child's Deckchair, horse mounting block, stairs for a mobile home, odd pieces for Looms, and other bespoke wooden items.
