Anyone know a good upholsterer in Sheffield?

[Jeffrey Shaw 90]

Hi all,

 

We need to find someone to repair our leather sofa, I have done a search and even contacted the recommendations, but as the posts were 4 years old, I’ve had no luck.

 

Our sofa has received some damage to the internal wooden fram, to the extent the seating part has now sunk.

 

Can anyone recommend a good person or company that could help with this?

See my post #63.

As title, looking to have my sofa reupholstered, but so far the general quotes I'm getting are about as much as, if not more than, buying a brand new sofa... (£400+)

 

If I had that much I wouldn't waste it on refurbing an old sofa, would just get a new one.

Couple be cheaper at the Heart Foundation - they had a couple of brand new ones in yesterday at £140 each.

In answer to your question no - the upholsterers i tried wanted £65 for a chair that cost me a fiver, i know its labour intensive and a skill so i'm not complaining.

Exactly my point mate just would have thought that simply having one refurbished would be significantly cheaper than brand new, but apparently not enough to bother with.

Wow!

We have a similar quandary - an "antiqued" green leather 3 seater settee, structurally sound but the cushions have been launch pads etc., for a succession of dogs over the 12 years-ish we've had it.

Contacted the makers in Bolton, who asked us to send the original covers to them - £14, ParcelForce - and they'd quote for replacements.

Did so....

3 new cushions, plus inserts, and including courier service back.....

 

 

 

£425!

(Oh! And 9 weeks wait!)

How do upholsterer's work? Do you need to find the fabric and bring it to them?
