Services
Furniture Reupholstery
Our furniture reupholstery service revitalises both antique and modern pieces through fabric replacement, cushion restoration, and structural repairs. Using traditional methods and premium materials, we restore comfort and aesthetics while preserving the item's character. Clients can choose from our selection of fire-retardant fabrics or supply their own for customised results.
Leather Repairs
Specialist leather repairs address scuffs, tears, colour loss, and structural damage using colour-matching techniques and protective sealants. We restore both domestic furniture and vehicle interiors, employing methods that ensure durability while maintaining the leather's natural appearance and texture.
French Polishing
French polishing and modern wood finishing techniques restore the natural beauty of wooden furniture through protective coatings that enhance grain patterns. We assess each piece to determine the most suitable finish, whether traditional shellac or contemporary lacquer, ensuring longevity and aesthetic appeal.
Car Seat Repairs
Professional car seat repairs cover leather restoration, stitching repairs, and panel replacements for both modern and classic vehicles. We match leather colours on-site and use automotive-grade materials to restore functionality and appearance while maintaining the vehicle's original character.
Eames Chair Restoration
Specialist restoration for Eames-designed furniture includes reupholstery, shock mount replacements, and plywood shell refinishing. We work with Herman Miller, Hille, and Vitra models, using authentic parts and traditional techniques to preserve these iconic mid-century designs for future generations.

Very professional and efficient service from Dale! Had some damage to the driver's seat of my BMW 4 Series which he patched up brilliantly. The second pic was taken a few weeks later after the repair and it looks good as new. Would happily recommend!

Thanks to Dale, my 20 year old leather sofas look and feel like they're new. Way better than buying new ones. He restuffed the seats and the backs of 2 sofas and a chair. All done at home in a day - so no need to get sofas out to a workshop and no time left without furniture. Have already happily recommended him to my neighbours.
