We have just had 2 sofas and a chair, originally purchased from S Rouse 20 years ago, reupholstered. They look absolutely amazing! Thank you for continuing to give such polite and professional service!

I have use S. Rouse & Co over a period of several years. I have had in then past a fabulous sofa created for me using William Morris fabrics. It has become both a focal point in my home and a timeless classic that looks as good today as the day it was delivered. I had no hesitation to go back recently to have another sofa made that has not disappointed. Classy pieces of furniture stand the test of time and therefore are worth the investment.

We recently had dining chairs and 2 armchairs recovered by Rouse & Co, as well as purchasing a new sofa and 2 chairs from them. The service in the showroom was professional, efficient yet friendly; they really know their stuff. Their deliverymen were friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend them. We are delighted with the result

Just had 2 recently upholstered chairs returned with new upholstery - a superb job. Excellent turnaround times, friendly and professional service - what more does a customer need?!
David even offered to make a table runner out of the 1m of upholstery that was left over - it was just what I was looking for. I highly recommend David and his team of upholsterers!

I recently had a sofa recovered by S Rouse & Co. They initially visited my home to assess my sofa and to advise if it was suitable for recovering. As it was a good sofa it was worth recovering. It was originally a cream sofa and with help from them on colour I chose the Wedgewood velvet. I am delighted with the result and it looks lovely in my newly renovated lounge. I would highly recommend them.
