    First class reupholstery well worth the cost

    We asked Bob to upholster all the cushions on our three piece suite. he gave us a huge range of choice and was very helpful with advice regarding what materials to use. The quote was reasonable and the work was exceptional and carried out very quickly. We will be asking Bob to recover our dinning room seats next. Very happy indeed with the outcome.

    Restoration of ottoman

    I found Bob helpful and easy to deal with. He has restored my Lloyd Loom type ottoman beautifully and as requested. He painted it a new colour and completely rebuilt the lid. He had a good selection of suitable fabrics and the one chosen looks great as well as being practical. I am very pleased with the result and know the ottoman will last many more years and is something of which to be proud. I happily recommend Oaklands Upholstery.

    Three piece suite and dining chairs - excellent service

    Oaklands Upholstry recovered a large three piece suite and four dining chairs for us in January 2026. The work was completed in two "batches" in less than four weeks. We are delighted with the results and very happy with communication, workmanship, and price. We would highly recommend.
