A big big thank you to Wayne and his team for fixing our cushion covers that I washed just before lock down and sadly the seams split and freyed. I was dreading having to match the material up and have new cushions made but Wayne has fixed them for us in such an amazing way that you would never know. He turned them round so fast for us, we are truly grateful and recommend Dawes 110%.

Excellent service. Came out to measure up, took our two sofas away and fitted new seat padding which was sinking and reupholstered the two sofas in our chosen fabric. Over the moon with the quality (which we couldn't find anywhere when looking at new ones) and how they look. Perfect. Many thanks!
