Fitting New Cloth
In the home environment your original cloth is likely to last for many years. In a busy snooker club the cloth may need to be changed annually or even more often. Fitting new cloth takes place on site.
Re-covering by an Alcock fitter includes:
- Removing the existing cloth from the bed and cushions of the table
- Cleaning the slate bed of the table and checking for damage
- Checking the wooden cushion slips, if present, and replacing as required
- Covering the cushions in new cloth
- Repairing minor damage to the slate bed of the table if required
- Checking the pockets of the table and advising about necessary replacements
- Fitting new cloth to the bed of the table; brushing ironing and marking and spotting the cloth
- Re-assembling the table ready for play; checking and adjusting the table level as required
