Today I have been over in Lincolnshire to remove a full size snooker table from an officers mess at an RAF base.
We where contacted a few months ago for a quote to do this work ,
The full size snooker table was scrapped and recycled at a friends salvage yard in Grimsby.

the full size table we where taking out of the snooker room , This table had lower quality rubber that was dead and a very thick none branded cloth fitted by a local company that should have known better than to use cheap low cost materials .
I would never have used these lower quality materials , it may cost a bit more to use high quality northern rubber and Strachan 6811 tournament cloth but the work would have been quality .
this is how firms undercut GCL billiards quoted price they use inferior materials .
The table cushions where in very bad shape the woodwork was coming apart , it was not cost effective to bring this table back up to a good standard so they opted for a pool table replacement .
they still have a second table , but i’m afraid this had also been refurbished by the local firm using inferior cloth and rubber .

both tables , we removed the most unattractive and in my opinion the worst bounce from the cushions table .
Leaving this officers mess with a nice looking large bulbous legged table

A second hand 7×5 pool table in very good condition , this Supreme Prince coin operated pool table is set to free play , with brand new Burgundy Strachan pool cloth .
this is supreme’s premier table design .

The officer in charge of the mess was very pleased with the quality of the pool table  which came with a new set of balls 4 cues triangle , 12 red chalk and a Peradon fitted UK made dust cover.

Our van outside the rear of the officers mess , we had arranged for the salvage yard in Grimsby to send down a ford transit low loader flat bed with crane to pick the slates and woodwork up , we kept back some spare parts for future use on other tables , such as pocket plates and bolts .
you can see we have stacked the slates in a three and a two , this is because the small crane attached to the transit low loader can only lift three slates at a time .
I’m afraid we have recycled a few full size snooker tables in the past three years , this is because demand for full size tables is not good and the market is flooded with tables for sale , we do try and relocate as many as possible by offering clients who wish to get rid , a free advert in our for sale section
if you are selling a property that has a full size snooker table and there is a condition to get the table removed for the buyer of the property , then failing a sale recycling is the only option left .

We can also offer an alternative type of cloth to re-cover pool tables.
Our normal cloth for pool tables is a choice between Strachan 777 and Strachan 6811
We are now offering by special order , a speed cloth
The speed cloth of our choice is also Strachan branded and is called a worsted wool man made fibre mix and branded as Strachan super pro speed cloth.

Strachan super pro , professional cue sports cloth

this table is located in a Garden cabin , we recommended this speed cloth due to the fact that the previous cloth absorbed too much condensation and played slow
with speed cloth it is a much faster thinner cloth with less damp retention , and ideal for situations like log cabins or Garden sheds and Garage locations .

The completed table , the owner is delighted with how the table is now playing and text me a couple of days later saying, it is vastly different to play on since  we fitted the speed cloth !
We only recommend speed cloth for UK type pool tables if you are playing in conditions that can turn cold and hot , Garden buildings and Garage type locations are well known for this and produce dampness int he cloth .
By using speed cloth we keep the damp content much lower and the table plays much faster .
We would like to draw your attention to the make of cloth we use Strachan is a quality UK made cloth
Please be aware of lower all man made speed cloth from Europe and the far east , this type of cloth marks badly with friction burns and would look very bad after a few hours of play , the Strachan super pro is in our opinion the better cloth to use , that good that we can even supply it with designs printed into the cloth , like the one’s we do for Butlins with Budweiser design imprinted into the cloth

You can have a design imprinted into the super Pro Strachan speed cloth , but this is expensive to do , please ask for a quote ,
if using a football club logo or trade mark logo with protection rights you will require permission from the trade mark owners to reproduce it ,
you must get this in writing and sent through to Strachan  before any order can be processed for that design .

We have been to Butlins to finish off a large order .
Our last emergency visit resulted in us fitting 4 new bed cloths , on that visit it was noted that a further 6 tables required urgent work.
so we have just visited Skegness for a week to re-cover 6 full size snooker tables plus other maintenance work .

Two of the tables we have just completed the re-covering with new Strachan 6811 all wool cloth

another of the tables we had just re-covered .

Some of the tables where in very bad shape , having big L shape rips in and unplayable.

Looking down the room from the bar area , all of the tables now look Green rather than old faded torn cloths .
Butlins in Skegness is the only Butlins to offer Free snooker as part of the all inclusive entertainment package .
If you wanted to play snooker at Minehead or Bognor Regis Butlins Holiday Camp you would be charged for it .
This makes Skegness Butlins so unique to cue sport enthusiasts .
