We inherited two well made but tired sofas that would have been perfect for our lounge if they hadn't looked so old and tatty....we contacted Andy who gave us a quote and showed us a huge range of fabrics. He has now restuffed and recovered them and they look like new! Such a lovely guy,such great prices and more importantly the quality of his work is superb. He also made us a couple of cushions using some leftover fabric he had. I can't recommend him highly enough...

Contacted Andy regarding re-covering a large DFS armchair cushion. He was extremely friendly and helpful, telling us to take it in and we could look at a range of fabrics and he would give us a quote. On inspection he confirmed he would be able to do this, as the filling was intact. He showed us several samples of material and we chose the one we wanted. When we collected the cushion we were very happy with the result. He had made an excellent job and we would recommend him for any large or small jobs. Button Upholstery was the only firm that we contacted because of the reviews and were not disappointed
