This is exactly why we only use the best of the best! 🛋️🐾 In just 10 minutes, some serious damage was done to this customer’s leather furniture, but thanks to Craig Jones's expertise, it’s been fully restored. We suspect the dog might have been relocated to the garden after this little mishap! 😉🐶 . . . #FurnitureRepair #TheBestofTheBest #RepairWork #DogChew #DamageRepair #FirstVisitFix #RepairNetwork #GuardsmanTeam
And that’s why people, you take out Guardsman, this customers dog had a mad 10 minutes whilst the customer was upstairs, new seat covers have been fitted today to fully resolve this issue. With out insurance the cost of this repair would have been so expensive and also very difficult to get the correct material. #guardsman#insurance#customersatisfied.

The theme highlights the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, for the benefit of people, organisations, and communities. And as a reminder, unaddressed mental health issues can lead to burnout, absenteeism, and lower job satisfaction. Take some time out of your day today to have a chat with colleagues, family members or friends. . . . #WorldMentalHealthDay #WMHD #LookAfterYourself #TakeCare #MentalHealthMatters

What a lovely review we've had from Mark Ottaway. This showcases why we love what we do and why we work with the best of the best! . . . #GuardsmanReview #BestoftheBest #FurnitureRepairNetwork #WorkingTogether
Owner at M L Solutions Ltd.....Family Run In Home Furniture Repairs. We don’t sell furniture, we turn your beautiful furniture into even more beautiful pieces of furniture ..
I’ve worked with many furniture insurers throughout my time in business, but Guardsman UK are simply the best. No nonsense, no trying to wriggle out of genuine claims—just professional, reliable service. I’m also proud to be teaching my son Daniel Pulley the art of smart cosmetic leather repairs, passing on the skills for a new future in what some see as a dying trade. Happy Monday, everyone! Have a fantastic week from all of us at ML Solutions—making life simple and bringing happiness to people. 😀

Some of our team had the pleasure of visiting our new warehouse and logistics partner, Walker Logistics Limited, to get a behind-the-scenes look at how everything operates and to ensure our products arrived safely. We’re beyond impressed with their state-of-the-art facility and dedicated team. We feel confident that our inventory is in great hands with Walker, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! 🚚📦 . . .. #Logistics #WarehouseVisit #InventoryManagement #Teamwork #NewGuardsman
