Buyer’s guide
A cheap quote is not a bargain if the job does not last. Here is what separates a great upholsterer from the rest.
What we do
Sofas, lounges, dining chairs, armchairs and recliners recovered in your choice of fabric or leather.
Booth and banquette seating built or recovered for cafes, pubs, clubs and venues.
Sympathetic, traditional restoration of heirloom and period pieces.
Traditional French polishing and timber finishing for tables, cabinets and antiques.
Good to know
Look for genuine in-house craft and experience, real materials like fire-grade foam and commercial fabric, honest advice on recover versus replace, full insurance and a workmanship guarantee, and a consistent record of five-star reviews. Dealing direct with the maker also means more of your money goes into the job.
We will let the work and the reviews speak, 35+ five-star reviews, rated 5.0, with most of our work coming by word of mouth. Send us a photo and judge the quote and the craft for yourself, no obligation.
New fire-grade foam to the right density, quality fabric or leather, a sound frame, and careful hand finishing, buttoning, stitching and piping done properly. Cheap foam and rushed work are what make a job fail early.
Usually yes, if the frame is sound. Recovering a well-made piece costs less than replacing it with something of the same quality, and keeps a piece you love.
