Excellent and fast, efficient service at a reasonable price. I searched for ages to find a company that could renew the webbing underneath a family heirloom chair. Most were disorganised, incapable of answering my enquiries/getting back with a quote, or then too expensive. The moment I found South West Upholstery it was a different and more positive experience. We are really pleased with the standard of restoration of our chair. Highly recommended.read more

I needed a very precious (to me) leather-covered antique rocking chair re-upholstered and was very concerned that any work that was done should be sympathetic to its age and uniqueness. This was a good experience from the first phone call to SW Upholstery. The staff are pleasant and unendingly helpful. Great care was taken to ascertain exactly what I wanted and photos were sent, for my approval, at different stages of the renovation. The finished craftsmanship is faultless.read more

Found South West Upholstery via their website & used them to refill two cushions from our lounge suite. The showroom was worth a visit & the opportunity to try a range of 'fill' materials giving different levels of support was invaluable. The work was completed, to our complete satisfaction, well within the quoted timeframe & the return of the cushions by courier, at no additional charge, worked well & was an added bonus.read more

Somebody's motorcycle dropped on to my motorbike and put a tear in my seat. I contacted South West Upholstery for a quote to recover my seat. The quote was very reasonable. I went ahead with the repair and on collection of the seat i was very impressed with the finish. The seat looks great and most importantly very comfortable. Thank you very much.read more

I used South West Upholstery accidentally whilst looking for an upholstery shop that had apparently closed down - I’m very glad I did! Their customer service was excellent, with help and advice given along the way and the finished chair is stunning. Their attention to detail is excellent, I chose a tartan fabric - lots of straight lines, which with a more slapdash outfit could have looked awful, however their work is precise, meticulous and pleasing on the eye. No upholstery work is cheap, but South West Upholsterers delivered top quality work for the price. Strongly recommend and will use again.read more

The service provided by South West Upholstery was simply outstanding. I bought several leather sofas from a well-known company a few years ago, and within a very short space of time the filling became compressed, leaving the sofas looking very sorry for themselves. I'm glad I found South West Upholstery; satff were attentive and gave excellent advice. The sofas, with their new foam inserts, came back looking even better than when they were brand new. I cannot recommend South West upholstery highly enough and I will definitely be returning in the near furture with a few other jobs.read more

My experience with this company from start to finish was outstanding. I had my two motorbike seats foam replaced with a more comfortable type.The turnaround time was incredible. The seats went off by courier at 9am, which they arranged, and the next day I received a call in the afternoon telling me my seats were ready and on their way back to me.They arrived safe and sound along with my original foam, and are just perfect. The new seats are now back on and look and fit just like the original. I highly recommend this company for their professionalism, friendliness, skill and pricing. Thank you all.Martin Henneberry.read more

I have two armchairs of my granny’s that needed a load of love. They’ve been in our family for forever and it felt like quite a huge decision to get the recovered so I must have been in the shop a zillion times looking at fabric. They were very understanding and helpful; getting samples etc; and when they got the chairs in they had looked up the maker and what the chairs would have originally looked like and replicated that. Incredible. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the end results. And my granny is being brought over by my uncle just to see them!read more

CASE STUDIES
Lounges
Loungers now have over 100 sites across the UK, having opened their first ‘Lounge’ on North Street in Bristol. We are proud to provide an upholstery and bespoke furniture service for new openings, and also repair and restore existing furniture. We have worked with them to create stunning new furniture such as their affectionately named ‘Big Boy’ sofas and buttoned stools for their Cosy Clubs.
McDonald’s
Over the past 6 years we have developed a relationship with McDonald’s to offer an excellent service and a quick turnaround to reduce the amount of down time on any repairs that need to take place. By standardising the procedure we can keep covers in stock and fix them on site.
Bristol Uni/21st Century
We were very excited to hear from 21st Century Building Services when they requested our assistance on a project for the Bristol University to create 6 meeting pods. They required a certain standard of acoustic foam and fabric, which we sourced and upholstered supplied frames to be fitted in place. We love the colourful result!
M-Shed
M-Shed hosts about half a million visitors a year, which means their upholstery takes a bit of a battering! We have an ongoing relationship to upholster their customer seating when it needs to be repaired or if a change of colour is required, on a quick turnaround. We also have the exciting task of upholstering their 1960s Bristol bus, which involves sourcing the correct materials and upholstering in the style that is suited for the bus.
Roger Burdett
Roger Burdett is well known in the vehicle world as a bus preservationist who undertakes thorough refurbishment of vintage buses. This requires using the correct materials, designs and upholstery techniques to restore the buses to working order while maintaining the original look on the vehicles. We are very honoured to be a part of this.
