Re-upholstery by Master Upholsterers

So why re-upholster?

For the money, why not just buy a new suite? The old saying ‘Things aren’t what
they used to be’ is especially evident in modern day upholstery.
Mass produced with little care and attention.

When you’re reupholstering a suite using traditional techniques,
the older the furniture the better. With a solid foundation, our Master Craftsmen
will restore your furniture to its original appearance and feel. But if you want it a little
softer or firmer, just let us know and we will aim to accommodate.
