French polishing across Richmond

French polishing in Richmond

Keep the finish, close the defect

Inner Melbourne

A documented scope, delivered as one team

Ripping out completed joinery in a finished apartment is the most expensive way to close a defect. M&M Services Group provides French polishing and interior make-good across Richmond and the Inner Melbourne: veneer and polyurethane finishes restored on site and colour-matched panel by panel, with the same crew handling chipped stone, tile rectification, scratched bathtubs, mirrors, chrome and floorboards. One trade takes the whole interior list.

Behind the finish sits 25 years in the trade and a one-team delivery model — a single subcontract from inspection through to sign-off, with time-stamped images of the work available on OneDrive for the handover file. Day and night shifts suit hotels and residential towers around Richmond, where rooms and apartments are released in narrow windows and the finish has to be right the first time.

The local market

Working in Richmond

Richmond mixes Victorian-era warehouses converted to creative and technology offices with the Bridge Road, Swan Street and Victoria Street retail strips. Its Cremorne edge has become one of Melbourne's densest technology office clusters, while Epworth Richmond and Victoria Gardens anchor larger-format development nearby. Adaptive reuse dominates the pipeline, so facade restoration, roofing and glazing works and commercial fitout account for much of the local construction activity.

The same crews also cover Cremorne, Abbotsford, Burnley, Collingwood, East Melbourne and the wider Inner Melbourne.

Questions

What builders ask us

Yes — French polishing and the wider interior make-good scope are delivered across Richmond and the surrounding region. Around 20% of the team is based in Melbourne, so Richmond packages are resourced locally, with Sydney crews behind them when a programme needs surge labour. Defect-stage joinery, stone, tile and floorboard work is carried by the one crew, so the whole interior list closes together.

Yes — on-site colour-matching is central to how we work. Each panel is matched in place before any broader application, so repaired joinery reads consistently against the surrounding finish. Where damage is extensive, complete kitchen resprays and rebuilt carcasses and end panels are part of the same capability.

Both routes are open. Builders often include interior make-good as a package in defect-stage tenders and RFQs, sometimes alongside our facade and glass scopes; contract administrators also engage us directly from a defect list. Send the list with locations and photographs and we will return a priced response.

The work is photographed with time-stamped images as it proceeds, and records are accessible to your team on OneDrive at any time. Each defect item carries its own before-and-after evidence, so the register closes cleanly and the documentation is ready when practical completion or DLP review comes around.
