Matchsnooker bespoke full size tables |
The Kingston Full Size Snooker TableA Victorian-styled but supremely modern competition-standard full size snooker table. We showcase the finest model designed and made by Alan Phillips of Kingston upon Hull. On this home page we give general information on pricing, room sizes, delivery, about us, and contact details. On a separate parent page for the
Kingston Full Size
Snooker Table we show a collection of images together with subsidiary links
to demonstrate the versatility of finish, of lighting and of optional
boardroom use.
The price of a full size snooker table
promoted on the Internet can vary between a few hundred and a several
thousand pounds. Because a full size table can literally last forever (snooker
table slates will never degrade and protected hardwoods will never lose their
structure) there is an ever growing national stock. The price variations
reflect the difference between the salvage value of unwanted tables, and the
current retail price of a bespoke, modern-tournament table, built to your
own design and style preferences. 12ft
Inclusive of VAT and accessories.
Excludes variable delivery.

↑ For serious snooker you need to allow
at least a full size cue length (57-58 inches) as a perimeter to
surround the play surface of the snooker table. If you prefer to
play with a shorter cue, perhaps with a smaller table, then the room
size can be smaller. The chart below offers sample dimensions as a
preliminary guide. Always check with us on precise room sizing and
layout before placing an order

↑ Commissions for full size snooker tables are normally agreed by
email and phone conversations and,where practical, visiting (by appointment) our
workshop in Hull. Every aspect of the commission will ensure that (a) we build
the exact full size snooker table you want, and equally important (b) we plan
for all contingencies in the delivery and installation sequence. Dimensions of your room, and your desired optimum play
experience, are the prime critical factors. Will the positioning of your full
size snooker table require a surrounding convivial space? Which is the preferred
method of table lighting, and are the electrics in situ? Is there sufficient
flooring strength to sustain a full size snooker table? What is the preferred
fixed playing height if the full size snooker table is also to double as a
dining or conference table? A full size table has long beams
and incorporates extremely heavy 5-piece slates.
If there is no adjacent access, or if the
snooker room is not on the ground floor, or the
room is peculiar, we may need to supervise a
pre-install survey of the location. Because of these variable issues, not least the travelling
distance from Hull, we apply a delivery and installation cost-schedule to all
customer commissions for full size snooker tables.

Alan Phillips, owner of Matchsnooker, has been making
snooker tables for over 30 years. Equally important, he has played
competition snooker at the highest regional level. Therefore not only
does he know how a competition snooker table should be made, he knows
how it should play.
All tables are made to order, complying with
international match-play standards. Pockets sizes and cushion-rubber
thicknesses conform to the playing of a full size snooker ball, and all
other tournament rules as specified under section 1 of the World
Professional Billiards and Snooker Association.
Scoreboards can be coordinated and personalised for private or commercial use.
Cloths can also be overprinted with logos or other chosen images and patterns.
Table end panels, or side panels, can be etched to signify a name or branding.
All tables are made by commissions only. Snooker table
specifications are agreed with the client. Any hardwood can be ordered, with any
type of finish, including French polishing. The most popular woods for snooker
tables are oak, mahogany, beech and ash. Walnut and other exotic wood can also
be obtained.
Alan takes on commissions for snooker tables throughout the UK
and Ireland. He has agents covering Germany, Cyprus and Switzerland. He can
arrange personal installations for his bespoke snooker tables anywhere around
the world
We can fit
cloth to snooker tables in all colours and types. Our
normal cloth supplier is Hainsworth, although any manufacturer's cloth can be
sourced (cloth swatches will be sent prior to order)
