Having brought 2 large sofas with 4 feather filled back cushions we were unhappy with the look, as after use they flopped down and needed constant attention to look like they had any substance. Having discussed this with Derek at Dee Cee he recommended a solution to remove feathers and replace with a high-quality cut to size and shaped foam. Work was carried out quickly ,professionally and the finished result was amazing (Happy Wife etc) The cost was better than expected and we will not hesitate to use Dee Cee in the future and recommend them to others .

REPAIR

I have used Dee Cee Upholstery before for upholstery work, and always found their work to be top-notch; and I recently decided to try them on a repair job on the frame of a dining room chair that had become wobbly and needed serious attention. Friends had said that all was needed was to insert screws into the loose joints, but fortunately I decided to ask Derek what he would do, and he said that, for a proper job, one would need to disassemble the chair and replace the dowels of the joints. I am so happy I went to him: they did a fantastic repair to the chair and now I am sure that it will last for years + he even, at my request, replaced the chair leg pads, which I was very grateful for, as I am so tired of doing this myself with stick-on felt pads that usually come off after a few months. At Dee Cee Upholstery, they do it properly with screw-on felt pads, and this was a great discovery for me.

We brought in an armchair made by my grandfather and in need of repair and recovering to fit the colours of our newly decorated front room. We chose the material and the work was done brilliantly. We were a little apprehensive whether it would be money well spent but we need not have worried and it is perfect and there is material left over for some new cushions. Thank you Derek. It was worth every penny.

We were delighted to be given the opportunity to restore this very well-made antique occasional chair. The solid oak frame was as good as the day it was made. The seat was hand-sprung and in need of replacement. Whilst highly skilled workmanship does not come cheap your comment it was worth every penny was appreciated.

I had no idea what I was doing but Dee Cee Upholstery guided me through my project. Made me two superb quality bench cushions that we love. Very friendly service with attention to detail. Thank you very much.

The dining chair seats were stripped to the base frame. We replaced the foam which was fire retardant and re-upholstered them. Your comments “ would certainly use again and that you would recommend us without hesitation” were well received by the team at Dee Cee Upholstery.

Our customer from Southampton had 4 chrome base dining chairs re-upholstered in a hard-wearing super soft vinyl. The seat were stripped to the base frames and replacement fire retardant foam was used. The chairs were covered in the same style. Thank you for your business.

From providing the initial quote, to the work being completed, Derek and Karen were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They provided a timely quote and were able to complete the work to our timescales. The chairs were returned today and have been reupholstered to a high standard. We will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you Karen and Derek!

Our customers from Southampton had 6 dining chairs with a chrome base and legs re-upholstered . They chose a hardwearing light-coloured flat weave fabric. They also had the fabric anti-stain protected with a product similar to Scotchgard. For our customer's convenience, we were able to carry out the work whilst they were on holiday. Thank you for your business

Ordered two recliners and they were delivered and assembled without fuss and at the time advised. The old chairs were removed at the same time. Very pleased with the service.

Our customers from Hythe Southampton, had their two new black leather dual motor Celebrity riser recliner chairs delivered on time and within budget. On delivery we demonstrated how to use them, both chairs were fitted with massage units and had the benefit of emergency battery backup, which ensures that the chairs will still work if there is a power cut. As an added service we removed their old chairs free of charge for which our customers were very grateful. We are pleased to receive a five-star review for service, quality and value.

Once again a brilliant job. Would never consider going anywhere else. He even matched the pattern to our other furniture from previous work he did. Derek is a true craftsman and a gent. Thank you once again for a perfect service

I had a stool upholstered - great choice of fabric, quick and easy visit to drop off the item, invoice provided via email, beautiful finished product. The owner was knowledgeable about furniture and told me a bit about the stool which was interesting. Very professional service all around.

Our customer from Southampton brought in a Victorian stool which was reupholstered in a hard-wearing chenille fabric chosen from our remnant room, where you can find a huge selection at half price or less, the top edge was self-piped. It was finished off with a gimp/braid to the bottom edge, as always we offer a very professional service.
