Reupholstery

Our Re-upholstery Services
Home of the Sofa can transform your favourite furniture with our comprehensive re-upholstery solutions. We provide a unique personal service in helping you make the right choice for bringing a new look to your favourite Sofa, Chair, Footstool, Chaise or Headboard. It’s a fact that many people already own some of the best quality furniture they will ever buy.

You may just want a new look, a new colour, a change of style or very commonly would like a match with one of your new pieces you are purchasing from us. To save the cost and effort of replacing good quality furniture which already fits your room, is comfortable and may well be a cherished or antique piece our comprehensive re-upholstery service will breathe new life into your existing furniture.

We also supply replacement seat and back cushion interiors for your existing sofas and chairs. There are three main interior choices - foam, feather or fibre. If you live within a 10 mile radius of Stratford-upon-Avon we visit your home to discuss the most appropriate option depending on the 'sit' you want to achieve, measure them for size and then deliver them back to you 7-10 days later complete with your new fillings. Alternatively you can bring your cushion cases into the store and we will discuss the options with you.

Producing a quality re-upholstery job is no easy task and should never be left to chance. Attending an upholstery class, having done it before or being referred to a ‘friend of a friend’ doesn’t guarantee the level of skill and quality required to produce a professional job. There are many individuals and companies offering these services but if done badly it can easily make something look and feel worse and become a very expensive mistake, -poor pattern matching being one of the more common and visible errors. With this in mind our reupholstery services are delivered by highly skilled master craftsman trained at England’s finest upholstery companies, using traditional techniques and to the quality standards used in manufacturing the luxurious new products we retail from our Stratford showroom.

Our consultants have the necessary knowledge to deal with your requirements and guide you through the process and most suitable options. From initial enquiry, through to the delivery of your newly re-upholstered furniture, we offer a comprehensive customer care package.

The Services We Offer
We can literally re-upholster anything be it traditional, modern or antique furniture. Whether your existing furniture is leather or fabric, no job is too big or too small and every piece of furniture whatever it’s age or size gets the same care and attention to detail thereby ensuring you will be satisfied with the finished job. We re-upholster Sofas, Chairs, Footstools, Chaise Longue and Headboards.

Having got to this stage the first major decision people face is whether to recover, rebuild or re-spring so it’s important to fully understand the difference between the three options and the costs involved. The following is a brief guide to the cost and deliverables associated with the three re-upholstery options we deliver:

Option 1 – Re-upholstery ‘Recover’ Service (excludes fabric)

Deliverable:
Strip back the piece to its foam covering, replace any webbing as and where required and recover in the customer fabric of choice (not included). The price includes all sundry items required to complete the job including any Dacron, hessian, canvass, felt, clips and staples.

Option 2 – Re-upholstery ‘Recover and Rebuild’ Service (excludes fabric)

Option 3 – Re-upholstery ‘Recover, Rebuild’ and ‘Re-spring’ (excludes fabric)

Additional Options – Price On Application
Your upholstery can be restored to its original condition or transformed by things such as trim change or arm and back cushion redesign, altering the current trim can make your old suite virtually unrecognisable. Options such as piping, valance, arm covers, deep buttoning, leg replacement and adding fabric protection will further enhance and protect your newly renovated piece.

Choosing a Covering
There are the 1000′s of upholstery grade fabrics to choose from. The main factors to consider when choosing the new fabric for your furniture are the colour, pattern, durability, and the cost per metre. The tables show the average number of metres required and the total cost of the re-upholstery job will be dependent on the price of the selected fabric.
