Pine table stripping/sanding

Hi. Wondering if anyone can recommend a local tradesman/company to strip/sandblast and treat a pine table. It's not a specialist job but struggling to find a local company who does this sort of thing, plenty of specialist antique restorers who charge a fortune but this is just a good solid pine table that needs to be refreshed. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks!

To be honest, we did our own.  Needed a garden, though - because the sanding produced lots of dust.

Hi Helen. Did you hire a sandblaster?

No we did it with a small sander (NOT a rotary one - they would leave tracks on the table) and elbow grease.

I haven't done it (yet) Abi, but I do have a lovely old pine table and would definitely do it myself.  Have a look on YouTube.
