Has anyone had any experience with refurbishing Victorian doors? We have recently moved into a new house and the doors are not in very good condition - they have lots of paint splatters and years worth of dark stains that are uneven.

Some are in better condition than others - I don't really know whether it is best to try and restore them or just to buy new ones.

Do you know of any companies/carpenters that do this sort of think - i understand they could potentially be dipped to take off all the old layers and start fresh?

Any advice gratefully received.

- Missing cat

  Our cat Booboo has been missing since early Sunday morning (09 March). He's a three-year-old male cat with black fur (short). He's recognisable from having very big feet - I think about two extra toes on each paw. He's very nervous of strangers and doesn't go out the front of our house - he mainly hangs out in the back gardens on our block (Goodrich/Barry/Friern Road). If you spot him please let us know (07771915355).

  That's useful, thank you - I've got a Primark near my work. Primark is (perhaps surprisingly) also one of the most diligent when it comes to labour rights in the supply chain, and I have to say the bits I've had from there have been quite good quality and lasted a long time. But otoh it's still fast fashion I suppose.
