A quality sofa is worth saving. We strip back your sofa to the frame, check and repair structural components, replace worn foam and padding, and reupholster with your chosen fabric or leather. The result is a sofa that looks and feels brand new — at a fraction of the cost of replacement. We work with all sofa styles, from modern sectionals to traditional three-piece suites and heritage pieces
Chairs are often the most used — and most abused — furniture in any home. We reupholster armchairs, dining chairs, accent chairs, and occasional chairs using durable fabrics suited to your usage. Whether you want to refresh a set of matching dining chairs or restore a beloved armchair to its former glory, we offer fabric samples so you can choose exactly the right look before we begin.
Leather furniture adds elegance to any room, but it requires attention as it ages. We repair tears, cracks, and scuffs, re-colour faded areas, and apply conditioning treatments that restore suppleness and protect against future wear. For major deterioration, we can fully reupholster in new leather of your choice. A cost-effective way to maintain the quality look of your leather furniture for years to come.
Antique and heritage furniture deserves care and respect. Our team has experience working with older pieces that require traditional upholstery techniques — from hand-tied spring systems to traditional stuffing and tacking methods. We source materials sympathetic to the period and style of your piece, whether you want a historically accurate restoration or a contemporary reinterpretation.
Over time, furniture foam loses its density and bounce, leading to sagging, uncomfortable seating. We replace worn foam with high-quality upholstery foam cut to the exact profile of your seat cushions, backrests, or armrests. We stock a range of foam densities and can advise on the right hardness level for your furniture's intended use — from firm dining chairs to soft, plush lounge seating.
Broken or sagging springs are a common cause of uncomfortable, lop-sided seating in older sofas and armchairs. We repair or replace damaged springs, retie spring systems, and ensure your furniture's internal support is restored to its original level of comfort. Addressing spring problems early prevents further frame damage and extends the life of your furniture.
An upholstered headboard transforms a bedroom from ordinary to luxurious. We create custom headboards to your exact dimensions and design specifications, or reupholster existing headboards in your chosen fabric. From simple, clean-lined panels to tufted statement pieces, we deliver headboards that are as beautiful as they are well-made.
