Sofas better than new!
Customer Service
Quality

We had 2 sofas 15 years old & they were a little tired in particular the material although we loved the style & size. Throughout the whole process, Derek & his team made it easy from going through fabrics to the end result. The workmanship far exceeded our expectations. We opted for firmer seat cushions & all new scatter backs. Our sofas are now unique & better than new. You need to remember that upholstery isn’t a cheaper option to buying new but what you get is far better in quality of padding, comfort & material & that will stay looking great for longer. Having looked at new sofas the quality isn’t there. We now have two beautifully unique pieces. I was originally recommended this company from a family member who had new arm covers made for her sofa & I have to say it’s the best decision I made going with Dee Cee, I will also be recommending them on.

The 2 sofas that we re-upholstered and not just recovered with new fabric . They were both good quality and well worth investing in having them done, as they had great potential. Thank you Andrea for this superb review and it highlights everything that we strive for.

We required a cushion for our bench in the kitchen. Dee Cee Upholsterers created a quality cushion that will take years of use without showing wear and tear as the manufacture process was very thorough. Quite expensive but a excellent product.

We supplied a top-quality 3" fire retardant foam cushion interior which was wrapped in polyester and stockinet lining for your bench seat. The cushion was made with a box self piped edging fitted with a zip. As with anything quality comes at a price. We are pleased that you gave us a 5-star rating for quality and you stated that it was an excellent product. At this point, I would like to thank you for your email received on 28/09/21. " I Just would like to say thank you for making my seat cushion. I am so pleased with the quality of workmanship and the time it took to make it. It looks fantastic and I appreciate the effort taken to complete it, with the material that you were given. I love it"

Derek came to assess what was required and quoted to re-plump the leather seat on my chair, which was very compressed, and also replace the webbing, as well as plump the back as well. They collected it, completed the work and returned it in 10 days. I asked for the seat cushion to be firm and am delighted with the result. In addition, they called to say that the work took less time than expected, so reduced the price they originally quoted, which was a pleasant surprise. Very efficient and professional company, who also offer a warranty on their work.

When I paid a visit to quote for the job in hand, the electric recliner chair leather seat needed to be stripped out to the base frame and be reupholstered. Using a firm fire retardant high resilient foam interior, and whilst we had the chair in our workshop we put extra padding in the back. Thank you for your excellent review
Top quality work.

We are really pleased with the work Dee Cee Upholstery have completed. They made 5 new cushions for our suite and it is now like having a completely new suite without the expense of a brand new suite. It is such a sensible option to upgrade and refresh a tired suite with newly made seats and covers. The suite is really modern looking now and fabulously comfortable. The work has been top quality, reasonably priced with a friendly and quick service. Highly recommend Dee Cee Upholstery.

Reupholstery of sofa

Derek and team have been a pleasure to deal with. We have had an old M&S sofa (24 years old) re-upholstered to an amazing standard, it looks better than new. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none. It was a 2 week turnaround and they kindly provided chairs for us to use in the interim period. I would thoroughly recommend Dee Cee upholstery and will be returning in the future.

I am over the moon with the quality of workmanship from Dee Cee Interiors. I was apprehensive about having my suite re-upholstered, but wow I have two absolutely unique stunning sofas, in superb fabrics. Derek and his team spent time explaining about the fabrics and which fabrics would crush over time and which wouldn't. The staff at Dee Cee were always very helpful and friendly, the whole experience was excellent, very personal and friendly, yet professional. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Dee Cee Interiors. A first class job!

Would really recommend DeeCee upholstery. A fantastic job was carried out recovering my dining chairs. They had a great selection of materials available to choose from, but helped narrow the selection down for me to make choosing easy and simple. They also offer a stain protection and collected and dropped off my chairs to my house, which was really helpful. Great customer service and a very professional job, will definitely be using again.

Hi Caroline thank you for your review, as your chairs were 30 years old they were in need of stripping back to the frame and re- upholstered. It is nice to hear your comments about great customer service and that we have done a professional job .

Our customer in Totton emailed her requirements for a very large made to measure window seat cushion interior . We were able to work off the very good detailed diagram and measurements supplied for us to cut the medium density fire retardant foam to size . Adhering to our customers instructions we then glued a 4 oz. polyester wadding to the foam and then covered the window seat in a stockinet lining. I delivered the completed job free of charge on the way home .

The fabric chosen for the job was a soft coloured green dralon, the chairs were stripped to the bare frame and re-upholstered with the latest specification fire retardant high density foam, and delivered back within two days .
Chair needed to be reupholstered

My old arm chair needed a revamp and I went to Dee Cee upholstery as they local to me. I was really impressed with the personal service I received from Derek, he went through lots of books of fabrics even letting me borrow a book for a few days to check colour. We agree a price once I had chosen fabric and was given an idea of date for collection of the chair. Karen phoned me a few weeks later to arrange to collect the chair and she told me it would be 2 weeks for job to be carried out. True to her word she phoned me and we arranged delivery. I am so pleased with the service I received from start to finish. Not forgetting Jason who actually did the work. Fabulous! I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

Hi Sue, thank you for your review with reference to r-upholster your old armchair. We picked -up your chair in Swathling and delivered it to our workshop. On stripping out your chair we found out that it was supplied by John Lewis and was a very good quality chair in need of a bit of T.L.C. The fabric that you chose to have your chair re-upholstered in was a very bright yellow chenille, when completed it looked stunning and looked even better in your lounge.
