My dog chewed a very visible part of our 4 year old sofa. We emailed to ask if just that piece could be reupholstered. Communication was quick and helpful. I had to order the matching material from Next and it was 8 weeks for delivery. Once I had it , I emailed and they collected my sofa within a week and it was returned within the following week. Fabulous. You cannot tell. Friendly respectful helpful.

The front bottom border of the sofa was damaged by their dog who had chewed it . We recovered part of the sofa when our customer supplied us with matching fabric , when the job was completed our customer was highly delighted that it is now in perfect condition and was glad that we had been recommended to her.

They reupholstered 2 ancient armchairs which were much loved by my late husband. From the first visit to the final delivery, nothing was too much trouble. The ‘new’ chairs are outstanding and will certainly last and be admired for many years to come. It is quite rare to come across this high level of skill and professionalism and well worth the money spent. I would never use anyone else and would recommend them to anyone looking for high quality restoration.

We recovered these 2 arm chairs over 20 years ago and way back then our customer was highly delighted just as she is now. When the chairs were stripped out in our workshop they were in a very worn state and in need of re-upholstering as opposed to just recovering . The "as new " chairs should last for the next 20 years . This excellent review outlines everything that we strive for with all types of upholstery that passes through our highly skilled master upholsterers. We are always prepared to go the " the extra mile " for the satisfaction and comfort of our loyal customers
Reupholster Fireside Chair

We bought a very comfortable fireside chair secondhand which was showing its age. We took the chair in for an estimate and Mr Caplen was very helpful suggesting what type of material would suit the chair. The work was completed in about 3 weeks and we are extremely pleased with the finished results. Well worth the money!

From the time we took in one of the chairs for a quote, we were impressed with the professional service. We were given clear time scales and when they arranged to both collect and return the chairs their timekeeping was excellent. The quality of the work was excellent and we were extremely happy with the finished result. The six dining chairs both looked and felt brand new

Our reputation as master upholsterers who specialize in top quality traditional re-upholstery goes far and wide ( our showroom and onsite workshops are based in Portswood Southampton and Ruth came to us all the way from Malmesbury in Wiltshire. The two seater button back Edwardian sofa was stripped out to the bare frame and was completely re-upholstered in an antique gold linen style flatweave fabric .We then replaced the coil seat springs and covered both seat and back in calico lining ready for the fabric to be applied. To add the finishing touch and make the job complete we cleaned and waxed the turned showood oak legs which enhanced the patina of the wood . Once again job completed on time to a very high quality thank you for your review and business

The two traditional style wing chairs were not just recovered , the original fabric was removed and the upholstery was then stripped out as required and re-upholstered including supplying replacement fire retardant seat cushion interiors wrapped in polyester wadding and stockinet lining. It was very pleasing to find our service was superb and that they would recommend us to anyone

Window seat cushion cover

I was really pleased with the friendly and reliable service Derek at Dee Cee Upholstery provided. The finished outcome, a window seat cushion cover, was better than I could have hoped for! My only slight niggle is that, days after I thought the job had been started, I had to confirm a third time that I wanted the work to be done. This meant that I had to wait a bit longer but it was well worth the wait!

The window seat was custom made by our customers carpenter . The fabric used was a chenille selected from our end of rolls in our remnant room at ( ( at half the normal retail price ) . We upholstered the base using 3 " medium density fire retardant foam covered with an interliner of 4 0z polyester . We then trimmed the top edge with piping in the same fabric and delivered the window seat free of charge, as our customer stated it was worth the wait.

DeeCee reupholstered two armchairs for us. Their service was great, from the moment I went to their shop to look at fabrics to the moment they delivered our chairs. They kept us informed of timescales and progress and the work is of a high quality. Our chairs are like new again!
