Tristan recently upholstered our 24 year old sofas as we could not find anything in the shops to replace them. Everything was against us with 2 lockdowns, 2 sets of material that arrived that could not be used, delivery driver letting Tristan down. Tristan was always honest and kept us informed all the time along the way. The final results were well worth the long wait and are outstanding. Transforming our dated old sofas into something straight from the showroom. Could not recommend Tristan more for his quality of work and service.

Tristan did an absolutely beautiful job upholstering two antique dining chairs

The seats of our two leather recliner chairs had collapsed at the back. Tristan explained what was needed to give them a new and longer lease of life, and detailed how he would proceed. Unable to collect them ourselves because of the lockdown and our isolation, they were collected for us by a friend. Two (fraught) hours later we had both chairs reassembled. The difference in comfort and appearance is amazing. Delighted with Tristan's work , we are more than happy to recommend him.

Tristan Kimber replaced the 5 cushions on my 3 piece suite and did a fantastic job. I was able to pick them all up 24 hours later and no longer am I sitting on sagging cushions. Many thanks.

We had a very difficult job with many features to replicate the original. High quality workmanship, great service and Tristan is great to deal with
