Type 3 - Basic cloth

Service Description

Full billiard table re-clothing in Moori 500 basic-grade cloth. AED 1,400 plus travel, at your location in Dubai and across the UAE. The value tier, and the one most family tables should be on. Moori 500 is a 45% wool, 55% nylon blend in six colours — hard-wearing, forgiving of a household that plays in flip-flops with a drink on the rail, and a fraction of the cost of a worsted cloth. A correctly fitted basic cloth plays far better than a worn premium one, so if your surface is tired this is the cheapest honest way to bring the table back. WHO THIS TIER IS FOR • Family tables and occasional weekend play • Guest rooms, holiday homes and villas let out between seasons • Tables you want back in service without spending on a surface nobody will notice • First re-cloth on a second-hand table, before you decide how much you will really use it WHAT THE PRICE INCLUDES Disassembly, the full re-cloth of cushions and play area in the colour of your choice, reassembly, and levelling. MOVING THE TABLE AT THE SAME TIME If you are moving house, the re-cloth also covers moving the table to the new address — within a 40 km radius. Past 40 km, travel is charged on top. A re-cloth in Fujairah is AED 1,400 plus AED 300 travel. Moving a table from Fujairah to Ras Al Khaimah is AED 1,400 plus AED 300, plus the leg between the two addresses. Send us both addresses and you will have the total before you book, not after. ACCESS — PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING Apartments and offices need a working lift. A stone bed cannot be carried up a stairwell safely, and we will not attempt it. Roof terraces, basements, and the second or third floor of a villa carry an extra charge. Send us photographs of the access and we will confirm the figure before the day, not on it. WHAT A FULL RE-CLOTH INVOLVES Rails are removed, old cloth is stripped from the cushions and the bed, the stone is cleaned and checked, new cloth is fitted and tensioned across the bed, the cushions are re-covered, and the table is reassembled and levelled. Tension is the whole craft: cloth fitted loose rolls slow and creases within weeks. WHEN A TABLE NEEDS RE-CLOTHING • Balls skid or slow unevenly across different areas of the bed • Wear tracks along the break line, around the spots or in front of the pockets • Burns, snags, tears or drink stains • The nap has flattened and the table plays slower than it used to • Colour has faded, usually from sunlight through villa windows HOW OFTEN, REALISTICALLY Light home use: every 5 to 10 years. Regular family use: every 3 to 5 years. Club, café, hotel and office tables: every 1 to 2 years. Air conditioning and humidity change how cloth beds in here, so a heavily used table in the UAE often needs attention sooner than the same table would elsewhere. THE OTHER TIERS Competition (AED 1,700) is CPBA MG-700 — faster and more consistent, the usual choice once someone in the house has started taking the game seriously. Premium (AED 2,000) is CPBA TN-999 or CPBA Competition — tournament standard, and the right answer for commercial tables. We also sell cloth by the metre and as pre-cut sets if you would rather supply your own.
