Having used DeeCee in the past we were confident that the work (the re-upholstery of two Parker Knoll fireside chairs) would be completed to a high standard and we are delighted with the results. The chairs were collected and returned on time, the work was completed in a timely fashion and both Karen and Derek were helpful as we discussed our requirements. We were loaned a good range of fabric sample books which enabled us to choose the fabric in our own home. We would highly recommend DeeCee Upholstery.

The two Parker Knoll chairs are very good quality ,and the fact that they would be expensive to replace . When re-upholstered they would be as good as new ,thus saving our customers money. Our existing customers visited our showroom in Portswood to choose fabric from our pattern book library , they were able to to take a selection of pattern books home with them to make a final choice ( which is so important ) It is good that they would highly recommend us.
Great service, highly recommended

Dee Cee Upholstery was recommended to us to restore and recover six dining room chairs. The work was completed to a very high standard and we were kept fully informed of progress throughout. The cost was very reasonable and the work was carried out very quickly. We would certainly recommend Derek at Dee Cee Upholstery who was very helpful. Great service, thank you

It is a heart warming to be recommended by our previous customers and that our charge for re- upholstering their six dining chairs to their former glory was competitive and that we we provided great customer service .
Repair work to my Double seated leather Sofa Part one....
Customer Service
Quality
Value
Excepted quotation for the arm rest to be stripped down and upgraded to a better quality foam. The Sofa seat; which was not straight forward stripped down with new materials, and upgraded foam for a firmer seat. This probably was one of those annoying small jobs ,but Dee Cee were more than up for the challenge, and happy to do the job. I was given the quotation which was more than expected, but in life you get what you pay for, and looking into the back ground of Dee Cee, felt it was money well spent. We collected my part Sofa today after being informed the work was complete and ready for collection. Absolutely spot on workmanship, and service, with, "Honesty", as the repair didn't take as long as first thought. The excepted quotation was then discounted accordingly... WOW....what a company...........You have saved me buying a new Sofa.... The other side to be done in the New year... Thank you. A very grateful Steve Matthews

The arm rest and seat needed to be stripped down to the frame and re-upholstered and refit the existing leather which was in good condition . This job was very labour intensive as the seat foam was made up in different density's and layers of fire retardant foam which meets the 1988 fire regulations .

Re-upholster Parker Knoll chair

We had a Parker Knoll fireside chair which was left to us by an elderly neighbour which had previously been re-upholstered. It was looking tired so we visited Dee Cee to view samples. Derek had previously re-upholstered a foot stool so we chose a co-ordinating fabric. We also had the legs stripped and re- polished, seat cushion and springing replaced. The chair has just returned and the workmanship is first class and the chair is as good as new, pattern matching is perfect. A top quality job.

Our customer from Southampton chose a check fabric which needed to be pattern matched. The queen Anne legs where stripped and repolished to a much lighter finish at the request of our customers ,to blend in with their existing furniture in their lounge

Dee Cee carried out work re-padding my leather sofa back cushions. He quoted me mid-summer and held his price when I eventually dropped them off to him in October. I could'nt be more pleased with the workmanship and friendly service that I received, and would both recommend, and use them again.

The back cushions just needed some extra fire retardant polyester fiberfill fitted into the existing interior cases instead of replacement interiors Whilst it was only a small job ,if it's important to our customers it's important to us . As a business it's great to get positive feed back posted on The Which Trusted Traders review website. At present we have 349 excellent reviews

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.

Our customer originally came to our showroom in Portswood for replacement back cushion interiors which would of cost in the region of £ 350.00 including vat We were able to add extra fire retardant polyester wadding to the existing cushion interiors ,with a saving of £ 230.00 We always try and give our customers the most cost effective advice which makes them comfortable in more ways than one
