    Good value sofa recover

    Good initial contact, very helpful with fabric samples, good communicator. Took 2 weeks to recover the sofa but looks like a completely new one. Cushions a little firmer than before but I understand they should settle with a bit of time.

    Upholstery Repair

    Replies, Then Ghosts, Then Forgets, Then Replies, Then... Forgets?

    Contacted Eddie just before Christmas about repairing a sofa bed and was quoted £80. I accepted waiting until after the holidays, but the whole process dragged on for weeks with very poor communication and repeated chasing for updates. What should have been a simple repair ended up taking nearly two months. When the sofa was returned he had “forgot the handle” and even questioned whether I needed it. It’s a sofa bed… of course it needs the handle to pull it out. I paid in good faith before realising this still wasn’t finished and I’m still waiting for it to be sorted. Wouldn't recommend.

    Repair and re-upholster dining chair set.

    I requested a quote from all Checkatrade recommended tradesman and they were all around the same. I then selected the nearest to my address and arranged for them to collect. They did a first rate job and returned them on time for Christmas. They have done a brilliant job and will use them again in the future.
