This is a selection of before and after photographs of a selection of my jobs.  Each photograph can be individually selected, to get an enlarged image and to see a little bit of information on the piece/work.

Immediate attention clearly required!

An iconic 1960's TV chair

This material was made in the second world war. It was available in any colour you wanted....as long as it was red or black!

The top rail of this chair was loose (you can see the gap if you look carefully). I repaired it before commencing reupholstery. As this is a single specimen, rather than part of a set, it is now termed a "bedroom chair" - the fate of many dining chairs once passed down the family!

One of a set of six, this one requiring repair of the frame beyond the normal service.

This suite was in good order but the customer wanted a different colour scheme.

An example of reupholstery triggered by a change in colour scheme, rather than wear.

This is one of a pair of chairs that required reupholstery anyway. As you can see, the backs were plain; however, the customer admired a chair belonging to a friend, which was buttoned and she asked me to do the same for hers.

The pair completed, sporting their new buttoned backs.

This chair was in constant use in the client's home office; the time had come for the leather to be replaced.

Although I don't work with leather 3-piece suites (as often specialist machinery is required), I am very happy to take on single chairs (dining, captain's etc) such as this.

See how the left hand cushion (from the perspective of a sitting person) is slightly sunk at the back - the base had collapsed and required rebuilding before reupholstery.

With left hand base rebuilt. Note that a base reseat does not always require complete reupholstery. If there is nothing wrong with the material, I have often been able to reseat a sofa, reusing the existing material. Clearly, that entails significant cost savings.

Reupholstered in crushed velvet.

This is an original Parker-Knoll high-backed arm chair. I had to sand down and re-varnish the wood-work before reupholstery.

A highly collectable item that had unfortunately been used as a bed for five dogs!

Reupholstered in a fabric that is decidedly not to be used by its previous occupants!
