Initially I wanted to re-cover an otherwise perfectly good bucket chair. In the end, I had the chair re-upholstered and re-covered as the difference in price wasn't that extortionate. Dee Cee picked up my enquiry promptly and were able to provide the various options open to me. They provided quotes for both a straight re-cover and a full re-upholster of the chair. I chose material from their stock range so I don't know how much more expensive it would have been had I asked about material not in their stock. The chair was collected and delivered at no additional cost. Dee Cee were professional throughout, kept me updated and kept to their original quote. I am very pleased with the finished product and from an environmental perspective, worth every penny.

Dee Cee Upholsters were recommended to us by a friend, as we wanted our dining room chairs recovered and a window seat cushion made. The whole process was made so easy and painless by the owners and staff. They were very welcoming, professional and friendly. The job they did was just perfect and we are extremely pleased with the work they’ve done. Would highly recommend them to others.

I have used Dee Cee a number of times over the years, from buying an Ottoman to having a piece of furniture restored. Today I went to the shop to buy some foam for a problem in my car!! Each time all the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable, but more importantly the workmanship has throughout been first rate. I have no hesitation in recommending Dee Cee to anyone.

Dee Cee Upholstery was recommended by several local people as a skilled, reliable upholsterer and they did not disappoint. Derek came to look at the chair at my home and agreed on next steps before taking it away to be fully re-covered. Everyone involved was polite, friendly and reliable, with everything happening exactly as promised. I would not hesitate to recommend this longstanding, independent business for quality upholstery.

Sofa bed re-born!

From the first enquiry to the finished job, we were delighted with the service that Derek, Karen and his co-worker (sorry, can't remember his name!) provided. Our sofa bed, which we'd bought secondhand three years ago and which we wanted reupholstered to blend in with the rest of our decoration and furniture, now looks new. Though we are no experts, the quality of workmanship is plain to see; and the service from picking up the sofa to return (2 weeks) was excellent and, most importantly, to the date specified and price agreed. Needless to say, we'd highly recommend Dee Cee and would certainly consider using them again if needing further furniture renovation.

Cushions Replaced

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 .

Our customer from Southampton heard about our cushion-filling service. They brought the feather-back cushion in. We advised them to replace the cushion interiors with a high-quality super soft foam interior wrapped in polyester and stockinet lining. This proved to be a successful project, which met with approval from our customer. Thank you for your business.
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.

Our existing customer from Southampton brought in an antique dining chair from a set of six. The back of the seat had to be stripped out to the frame for us to gain access to the base frame and replace the broken dowels. We also fitted corner blocks for added strength and support.
