    Emergency Furniture Repair / Restoration Service

    Posted 23 September 2023

    Bedroom curtains

    When I moved house I took my lovely turquoise curtains with me, as I didn't want to part with them. However, they were too short to hang in the bedroom and Stephan did a very professional job in making them the right length. He took great pains to find a similar fabric in a complementary teal colour to edge them with and even extended the curtain lining. The curtains now look even better than they did before and hang very well in my bedroom. Stephan pays great attention to detail and has a really good feel for colour and design. I would highly recommend him.

    Furniture Repair / Restoration

    Superb job - Stephan is a true professional

    I asked Stephan to re-upholster two post-war chairs that belonged to my late parents and I'm thrilled with the results. He helped me to choose a vibrant turquoise fabric for the seats and it's brought new life to these old discarded chairs. The quality and finish are superb and the wood has been painstakingly restored and varnished. Stephan is an artist as well as a craftsman and I would highly recommend him. He's very pleasant to deal with as well.

    Reupholster a very old family armchair

    We have been absolutely delighted with Mr Upholstery's work. This old armchair of ours was in a very poor state and he did a fantastic job reupholstering it. To start with we were offered a wide choice of fabrics to choose from. Great advice throughout the whole experience and great attention to details. Thank you again.

    Stephan was superb, I would recommend him wholeheartedly. The workmanship was very good and he was tidy and punctual. My shabby old chair now looks gorgeous.

    Stephan restored my Mum and Dad’s rocking chair after my Mum died recently

    The chair had very sentimental value and Stephan restored it with sympathy and maintained the essence of the age while bringing a modern update

    Recovery and restoration of an antique chair

    Great attention to detail on my grandfathers old chair, and it fits in brilliantly at home. The service was great, and we received lots of advice on fabrics. Pleasure doing business with him, would strongly recommend.

We work with leading fabric manufacturers and well-known designers, such as

RESTORATION

We also, restore antiques and tired, old pieces of furniture, giving them new life for generations to come.

So, how does this work?

First, you tell us about your project and aspirations, and then we’ll discuss a few alternatives.

Refurbishing a chair can mean you have to strip it down to its basics to be left with the core item. It often means that some small repairs will have to be done.

This is where the adventure begins!
