Modern upholstery is generally more appropriate for post-second world war chairs, although it can be used on older pieces if done correctly.  Instead of the traditional hair and fibre modern upholstery uses foam to form the shape and comfort of the piece with staples to secure fabrics although some of the more traditional materials such as hessian, felts, webbing and some hand-stitching are also used. With foam generally lasting 20-30 years before it starts to break down, modern upholstery will need replacing more quickly than traditional.

We can work on existing furniture or build items such as footstools and headboards in-house to your own specifications. We also have a number of carpenters and frame builders that we work closely with to be able to deliver a perfectly bespoke item of furniture, be it a bedroom chair, a perfectly sized sofa or even commercial banquette seating. We have an in-depth knowledge of current UK Fire regulations for both domestic and commercial work.
