Reupholstery sounds like a very old fashioned thing, forget that and think creative.

We can transform something very old fashioned and drag it into the 21st. century, with a whole new lease of life.Furniture in particular, manufactured more than 20 years ago had a much more robust frame than the majority of most items made today, with a lot of modern furniture now brought in from eastern europe, and now a big influx from China.

Look through the different sections on our site, there is something for everybody, but if we have missed something you require, contact us and I am sure we can accomodate.

We reupholster Ercol,Cintique, Parker Knoll,G. Plan,Schreiber, Duresta,Tetrad,Vale, Spadesbourne,  if they made it, we can reupholster it, and update if required.

Below is an example of a settee,probably made in the early 1900's, very forlorn and looking well past it's 'sell by date',the frame is in quite a bad way, springs are gone, one of the legs broken off, and whats left of the padding not really doing a lot. However........the owner is very fond of this sofa. So work in progress, and we'll keep you updated as we go along: 

1 

This is how the settee arrived........very sad looking.The leg was broken off,the arm was being held on by the material, back and seat wooden rails are broken off the frame,the front supporting rail was detached and supporting nothing,the webbings that hold the springs above and below had, long since given up the ghost and the whole structure was bascially been held in place by the fabric.

2 

The old fabrics stripped, all webbings and springs removed, new hardwood rails used to replace the broken parts, the leg reunited with the frame, everything now tight and secure, ready for the next stage.

3 

The back now repadded and covered with a lining ready for the new cover to be fitted

4 

The new back and arm new made and partly fitted.

5 

The seat has been resprung,all the top padding fitted and covered with a lining material, ready for the new fabric. The new seat is lower than the original as we are changing the style slightly and fitting seat cushions rather than the fixed seat, which was very popular at the start of the century.Doing it this way will be more practical, and be a much more comfortable seat.

6 

The new cover has been secured on the inside arms and inside back, then the new cover was fitted to the seat. We have pleated the front of the arm and made panels to finish the front.

Next job is to fit a cover over the outside arms and outside back. We will then put a small amount of padding in those areas, so it will give a nice substantial feel, when the finishing outside covers are fitted.

7 

The outside panels are now fitted. Just the seat cushions to be made and fitted to complete the settee.

8 

Nice 'comfy' seat cushions now fitted. (We make and supply cushions to the exact needs of the customer, whether you want 'soft and squashy' to 'very firm'.......the choice is yours.)

9

Job complete and back at the customers home, dressed with matching scatter cushions.......... a complete transformation.

This sofa is probably about 80 years old, the frame has been fixed,damaged wood has been replaced' springs and padding renewed, new cushions fitted................here's to another 80 years.

JUST A REMINDER AS TO HOW IT LOOKED WHEN IT ARRIVED.................!
