Household Options At South West Upholstery
The benefits of upholstering your furniture is an incredibly rewarding feeling. With years of experience, we are able to offer you a range of domestic upholstery options depending on your needs. Whether you require traditional household upholstery or modern household upholstery, we can do both! Perhaps you’re after completely new upholstery, with new foam, or simply looking for a re-vamp with some household re-upholstery.
As your domestic and household upholstery experts, we are very open with the type of upholstery you will be getting. It’s important for you to state with us whether you would like to upholster your piece traditionally so that we can use traditional, natural fillings (i.e no foam!) to upholstery your furniture piece. This technique requires much more time to complete and cannot be rushed.

We had the seat replaced on an old heirloom chair. The staff were very friendly and the service was great. The chair is like new.Posted on Na LaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well done on my seat cushions they look and sit well, back to their shape of 20+ years ago. Great work, good e-mail communication and no fuss shipping it to London. Thank you.Posted on Andrew ClementsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The service we have received from the team, is amazing and not often these days do you really experience it!! From the initial consultation, to collecting our 6 re upholstered chairs, the help and support is just above and beyond! Thank you..Posted on LaurenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'd been searching for somewhere to send my beloved scandinavian leather chairs to be upholstered for a while and I'm so so thankful I found South West Upholstery. They were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Leanne (who is so lovely!) guided me through the process, it was seamless and professional with that family feel. (I love the fact it's a family business that's been established since the 90's, and started out in the shed!!) The care and consideration taken to complete the job is like nothing else I've come across and the overall finish is absolutely exceptional. I'm so so happy. Thank you so much guys, you're brilliant!Posted on Jeanette HarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great cushion made for our kitchen bench, excellent service, definitely recommend Jeanette Harris LockPosted on claire peacockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 20 year old sofa looks brand new following its refurbishment by South West Upholstery. Following my partner's stroke 3 years ago the sofa has been abused!! Saggy, stained cushions and the seat coming away from the basement meant it was difficult to get up from the sofa. It is so comfortable and I love the fabric. It was collected on 22nd Nov and returned on Dec 10th by careful, experienced men. I'm really pleased I had it done, it was far less expensive than buying a new sofa of the same quality, and saved the sofa from landfill. It will outlive me!Posted on Jessie NashTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am absolutely beyond happy, with how beautiful my sofa have turned out!!!! I was very spectacle when my husband come home to say we aint getting a new sofa we are having it picked up and upholstered and to say they did the job perfectly is an understatement!!! Thank you guys you have got one happy customer 😀 10/10Posted on Paula EdwardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would give more stars if possible. From first contact to the final delivery of 4 re-upholstered dining chairs, the experience has been seamless. Great website. Friendly, professional staff on the end of the phone, wonderfully efficient and friendly, company employed, delivery team, a vast variety of fabrics to choose from and a price that was infinitely cheaper than purchasing new dining chairs of a similar standard. I could not be happier or more impressed with the whole company and shall be using them again.Posted on Michael HawkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used South West last year for the first time having our three piece cushions replaced. As we had searched for ages looking for a new three piece, which we could not find anything that took our fancy, there was nothing wrong with our three piece really. So we decided to have the cushions made firmer. When we contacted South West Abbie was so helpful, as we had never done this before. She was professional, helpful throughout the process giving us guidance which was just what we wanted. We were so pleased with the outcome, we have just used South West again to have another two cushions replaced on another sofa. We recommended friends, who had their dining room chairs recovered last month, again another satisfied customer. Great company and staff.
Now the Magic can begin!
We will strip down your furniture, make any repairs to the frame that are required to ensure a solid foundation for us to work from. Any loose joints will be doweled, glued and screwed. We always remove the original layer of cloth and never go over the top of your existing upholstery.
f you have requested any French polishing to be carried out we will do this now, otherwise we will carry out a light button polish of your furniture legs as standard.
Now the frame is solid we will begin to move onto the springs and/or webbings on your furniture. If a spring or any webbing needs replacing we will replace it at this stage. Should the whole internal supporting structure fail on your furniture, we will quote to replace it with a suitable alternative and discuss the options with you.
Any padding fixed to the frame and on the arms is checked and replaced where required.
We will then add any new foams, feather inners or fillings that you have requested for back or base cushions to ensure excellent comfort for years to come. We would quote for these upon seeing your items or can quote beforehand using dimensions supplied.
Finally with a frame rebuilt ready for years of future action we can begin to upholster your furniture in your chosen cloth, leather or faux leather. We will carefully add any sundry items for the finishing touches such as braid, studding, piping and so on. New legs and castors are also fitted at this stage if requested.
Once complete your furniture will be quality checked to ensure we have carried out your every request, and the works are completed to our usual high standards.
We will then wrap your furniture with protective sheeting, ready to present to you. At this stage we will invite you to come in, inspect your work and then pay the final balance due ready for your item to be dispatched.
