Reupholster your furniture
A traditional craft restoring your treasured furniture
Is your favourite furniture looking and feeling tired, or do you simply want a new look? Something that you could consider is to have your existing furniture reupholstered.
As well as repairing and recovering your furniture so it is like new again, reupholstery can take the stress out of buying new furniture. You may have already invested in good quality furniture that fits your home, and that you are comfortable and familiar with. Plus you would be doing the environment a favour in not sending your furniture to landfill. Reupholstery is also the ideal solution to refreshing the look and adding comfort to your favourite furniture. All types of furniture can be reupholstered, including Clubs, Wings and Recliners. First, a complete inspection is carried out to assess the condition of your furniture. The existing upholstery is then stripped back so that highly skilled craftsmen can make any necessary internal repairs. Over time your once sturdy and reliable furniture can begin to deteriorate and weaken. The frame may have become damaged or loose, the foams and fibres can disintergrate. With reupholstery, repairs can be made to the frame, such as tightening of the joints and springs will be checked and replaced where necessary. Seat cushions can also be replaced, making your furniture secure and comfortable once again. The beauty of reupholstery is that your furniture can maintain an essence of its original style, showing unique wooden features, studded work and button backs. Once all internal checks are made and new seat cushions fitted, the furniture will be reupholstered in a brand new fabric. You can choose to recreate its original beauty with a similar design and colour, or be daring and give your furniture a whole new lease of life with a totally different fabric. There are over 600 fabric options, including many from leading design houses such as Crowson, Swaffer and Sanderson. Choose from cottons, velvets, textured weaves, linens and chenilles to create a truly bespoke piece of furniture. The reupholsterer will ensure your furniture is lovingly restored so it is returned to its former glory. Owing to the complexity and enormous skill involved in the reupholstery process, ensure you use a trusted firm with skilled craftsmen, such as Plumbs. Offering numerous years of experience and branded designs, plus with the reassurance of a 3 year quality Guarantee. So you can rest assured that your faithful furniture will be returned to you looking and feeling brand new again.
