My much-loved sofa, library chairs, and dining chairs were old, tired, and unattractive. The excellent work done has exceeded my expectations. I am so delighted with the results and the improvement in the look of the room. Everyone was so helpful and friendly I can't thank them enough. What a brilliant job - thank you!

Dining Chairs

Just had our 6 dining chair seats recovered, so we decided to get them “done” professionally, so knowing Dee Cee was local with parking available, I decided to visit them, from the time I entered the quaint shop I felt at ease, Mr Dee Cee was very friendly and helpful and seemed genuinely interested in making sure that what I chose was right for our particular chairs. The choice of material available was endless and the cost made very reasonable. The chairs were completed earlier that promised and when I collected them I was amazed at the quality and the difference a high class craftsman can make, well worth the visit and our chairs now look stunning. I would certainly recommend them to all my friends. Well done to all at Dee Cee.

Our customer from Sholing was recommended to us, she had 6 reproduction dining chair seats which were over 30 years old and needed to stripped to the bare frame and be completely re-upholstered as opposed to just being recovered, the latest fire retardant foam was used to comply with the 1988 fire regulations. The job was done in 2 stages for convenience. the fabric selected from our remnant room had the benefit of inherent anti stain protection
work to settee cushions

I have used this company for many years and it is the first port of call for me. New back cushions were needed for my settee. A different, but equally acceptable (and cheaper method) of upgrading the cushions was suggested and accepted. The work was done quickly and to a high standard. I am delighted with the result.

Dave and Jean brought a small fully upholstered miniature Childs arm chair which is a family heirloom . We were asked if it could be re-upholstered in time for their grandchild's first birthday party . We pulled all the stops out to make this possible and we are pleased that they would recommend us to any body .

I have used this company twice in the past, so when l needed our dining chairs reupholstered we asked them to do the job. As before they were very helpful and knowledgeable about what needed to be done, and as promised the dining chairs were done and delivered back to our house the very next day and at the exact price quoted. Thank you Dee Cee will use you again. ( Would recommend this company to anyone)

We have just had six dining room chairs recovered , we thought we would use a small independent local upholsterer they are literally at the bottom of our road . We are so happy with the work they have done it took just three days to complete the work to an excellent standard, the price was very good and they were very friendly and helpful we would definitely use them again Thank you .

From the moment I contacted Dee Cee upholstery about the chair I felt it was in great hands. The chair was picked up and returned in 10 days having had a full tradition repair fitting of its age and it was reupholstered in a material from the huge range the company has to offer. I’m just so pleased with the work

It felt good that our customers trusted us with their antique grand father chair , which needed a complete new seat using double cone springs to be fitted and the fillings were traditional , horse hair ,cotton felt and calico lining etc. They chose a fabric that was the same design and colour which brought the finished chair back to it's former glory .
Another Great Job

This is our second experience with Dee Cee and we will certainly be back! Exceptional service from start to finish. Last time it was recovering a suite, this time two old Ercol chairs. We really appreciate the personal touch of a local family business. The quality of their craftsmanship is superb and we love their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. Our suite is still going strong 12 years later and we expect these chairs to do the same. So we will be back…but it might be a while!

This was the third time we have used Dee Cee Upholstery in the past year. All three pieces of furniture (fireside chair, sofa cushions and footstool) were completed to a very professional standard and we are very happy with the result. Derek went out of his way to make sure the re-upholstery was just what we wanted and finished the work extremely quickly. We would highly recommend this company.

I had purchased a second hand sofa and several years later decided to have it reupholstered.

I purchased a second-hand sofa to use as extra seating for family "get-togethers". I decided to have it recovered. However, I had chosen an expensive fabric so I phoned Dee Cee’s and explained. Derek offered to pop in on his way home to check the stability of the sofa, and we agreed a date/time. Having reviewed the fabric sample and sofa Derek advised me that the sofa was sturdy enough for the job; that I would not be wasting my money and anticipated a further 25 years use. I received an estimate and paid my deposit. Karen ordered the material. (There was a delay because the fabric company were waiting for the velvet - to add their design to. Due to the ‘hangover’ of ‘Covid delays’ this company went out of business.) Dee Cees offered to return my deposit but I asked them to hold it while I chose another design. At this point, I spent a month in the hospital. My husband rang Dee Cee’s to explain ‘my’ post-Christmas delay and asked them to hold the deposit. I was finally able to settle on a fabric design and I phoned Derek. To make absolutely certain they ordered the correct fabric Derek offered to collect the sample that day. The fabric was more expensive than the original however Dee Cee’s did not increase their estimate and the invoice total remained the same. Karen and Derek have been really helpful and informative. Made advanced bookings to pick up and drop off the sofa, and have always adhered to agreed times.

The second hand sofa needed the seat to be completely replaced with fire retardant high density foam and rewebed. Whilst it took nearly 5 months to bring the job to a satisfactory conclusion due to circumstances beyond our control ,we always will try to go the extra mile when needed
