Unfortunately I cannot recommend their service as I approached them for a replacement cushion for a chair of mine. As I hadn't had an response to my initial query it required an additional email before I received a response. Ewan's reply was "I don't do office furniture". When I sent a follow-up email to clarify my requirements as I beleived that… their was a miscommunication and provide photos of the cushion that needed replaced. I've yet to receive a response. In summary uncommunicative, terse, and uninterested. In this case I regret choosing to support a local business

Loved my sofa, the colour & style plus the lived in look & feel of the leather. Hated the fact my hips ached when sitting or lying on it for a while and having to constantly fluff the back cushions. Went online to check options for a cushion refill and these guys caught my eye. I wasn't in their stated catchment area but I dropped them a line just incase and so glad I did. Ewan came out, looked at the sofa in situ, chatted with me until he was clear on what options would suit, then left with the cushions to 'mix me a recipe' of foam, fibre, and feathers. I couldn't be more thrilled. No aching hips

Ewan and the team did an absolutely outstanding job reupholstering our 4 seater sofa and two extra large chairs. He came out to us with a host of patterns and spent as long as was needed helping us choose both the appropriate materials but also the right colours to match. The quality of the workmanship is outstanding and we couldnt recommend them highly enough.

So, so pleased with the results of reupholstering out two very tired 1990's habitat sofas. They have been totally transformed both in looks and comfort. This company has a fantastic depth of knowledge on the subject and was really helpful in helping to choose fabric type, pattern and colour. Absolutely recommended.

We have taken delivery of our Edwardian chairs today and they look amazing. We cannot thank Ewan and his team enough for their expert restoration and professionalism. They truly have gone the extra mile in these extraordinary times to ensure that we have the chairs restored to the highest quality. Ewan went an extra mile even driving to Wigan… himself to source and pick up the castors. He also directed his team to make some scatter cushions for us (an extra request from us) and of course not forgetting making a pocket square for my husband out of the left-over material!
