Who We Are

About HQ Lacquer

HQ Lacquer Ltd. has been established as a family business since 1986 when Directors John Hennessey and Michael Quirke decided to combine their skills as a spray finisher and cabinet maker to set up a bespoke furniture workshop in Battersea, London, specialising in high gloss polyester lacquer finishes.

Unique Projects

We pride ourselves on our flexibility and innovation. Over the years, HQ Lacquer has had many unusual requests including spraying 800 GI helmets for Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan, a 1.4 meter diameter detailed model of the Earth, a naked female torso in gloss piano black, a pair of stylish wooden shoes finished in bright red polyester and brightly coloured funky fibreglass hand chairs!

Our specialist workshop

Conveniently situated just off the A3, our workshop is well connected for London and the M25.  Our skilled workforce has been trained in-house to understand the quality level that our customers require and three large spray booths, together with our AGLA polisher, ensure that we can deal with most jobs that come our way.

What Our Clients Say

Just a quick message to say thank you very much for the superb work carried out on my Range Rover Classic’s woodwork.

Rob Hall

Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job done on our dining room chairs. We just loved them truly a professional job. We are so grateful to have found your company and will certainly highly recommend you to friends and family.

Marc & Maria Legros

We have received extremely positive feedback regarding the piano black Komri cabinets you did for one of our customers. “Wonderful job HQ Lacquer have made from the smooth chamfered edges to the lovely satin black metal work of the bases and the ultra-gloss finish of the casework”. Brilliant result.

Darin

Many thanks for the Bottle Green cabinet , we fitted it on Friday and it looks fantastic in situ . The client was virtually speechless !

Dave – Penrose Island Furniture

drums received….. consider our minds blown, i have done a lot of gloss finishes over the years & see even more gloss drums worldwide, but nothing i have done comes close to yours, in fact we think its as good as we have seen on any other drums in production today, certainly on a level if not better than the german Sonor Sq2 series which as about as top end as it gets. I’m over the moon with them, i can’t wait to show them Moffat the show

Gareth – HighWood Drum

Great guys, known Jon for years, top quality lacquer finishing company.
