What happens when you order a Pool Table?
When we receive your pool table order a chain of events takes place which I will explain in detail, but first some background.
Most UK style slate bed pool tables are manufactured in the UK. There are only 4 volume manufacturers in the UK and all are based in the North West and within 30 miles of our offices.
We are distributors for them all and have a close relationship with each one of them with the added advantage of being able to nip round and collect even 1 table when it is ready. Which speeds up delivery to you the customer.
All four companies are small to medium size enterprises that work pretty much to their order book as opposed to carrying stock. Some batch produce a particular model every few weeks whilst others have mixed table production lines.
Delivery and Installation of a pool table.
Once you have decided what size pool table you require and which room it is going into the next stage is to be certain that it will physically go into that room
This is particularly important if it is going upstairs or into a basement but we will come to that shortly.
Most installations are on the ground floor and it is very rare that we fail to get a table into a ground floor situation. Deliveries are made in Sprinter style vans so they can access most locations.
Should I Have My Pool Table Cloth Recovered?
Recovering your pool table can transform its looks and enhance its performance. A worn or torn baize often provides an inconsistent ball roll and a slow game. A poor quality cloth will spoil the appearance of a table and make it look tired and dated.
Here are some recent pool table installation images of the UKs best selling pool table. The Supreme Winner is a firm favourite with pool players and is the chosen table for the IPA pool tour.
These photos have been taken by our fitting team so they are not professional quality but will hopefully help in choosing the model for you.
