From our first enquiry to completion of re-upholstering our six dining chairs, we received helpful advice on selecting the fabric, clear pricing and Terms. The chairs were collected, with our consent, sooner than originally planned and returned in an excellent condition, to our complete satisfaction within 48 hours. Dee Cee is a well-known business and has been used by other members of our immediate family.

Our customer in Bassett Southampton was Recommended to us by his brother , (who we have twice re-upholstered his Parker Knoll suite twice ) the six chairs were extremely good quality made in the 1970s and had a upholstered seat with a center back panel . 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.

After searching for several weeks for two recliner chairs, I found this established family firm which not only gave me an excellent bargain but I received the most personal and speedy service which surpassed all the high street stores I had tried. They took away my old furniture at no extra charge. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm to anyone.

Our customer who lives in West Wellow took advantage of our nearly half price offer on the showroom ex display rise and recline dual motor models . We delivered their chairs the following day and as stated took away their old sofa free of charge ( most other companies charge any thing up to £ 75.00 for this service . If the furniture is in reasonable condition we take it to Sue Ryder Charity shop to resell.
Two Parker Knoll chairs
Customer Service

Our two chairs had once been very comfortable. They are over 50 years old and had been sat upon by us and bounced upon by the grandchildren. The springs on one chair were badly distorted and the upholstery had been scratched and worn by our now deceased cat. Dee Cee upholstery welcomed us to their premises with the required lockdown restrictions and showed us a great selection of fabrics. They advised us to consider deeper cushions, which we ordered. We were told about the likely time they could start the work and the length of time it would take. We took sample books home to compare colours and shades and were sent an invoice. The work was completed within budget. The chairs were collected from home and then delivered back after completion. They look really smart. Derek and the showroom staff were helpful. We were pleased to have the work undertaken and completed so promptly.

Recover of Ercol Chair
Customer Service

We inherited an Ercol chair which was in need of recovering. We contacted Dee Cee Upholstery as they were very local to us and have an excellent reputation. They collected the chair and completed the work within the agreed timescale. What particularly impressed us was not only the standard of work (which is superb) but the fact that they kept us informed of progress from the initial estimate, a discussion on the selection of materials and possible extras through to completion and delivery. We don’t have anything else to recover but if we did we would use them again without hesitation.

Their 1970s Ercol chair had to have the seat re-webbed and a replacement seat cushion supplied. We also made a small bench seat cushion to match.

Your 1950s traditional pillow back and fully sprung 3 piece suite and box self piped pouffe, was certainly in need of re-upholstery and restoration . When it was previously recovered ,on stripping the suite out it had 2 lots of covers on it, in fact the pouffe had 3 covers under the the top = 4 in total. Sue and and her husband have retired and moved to Sandleheath near Fordingbridge from Cheshire to a pretty little cottage ,with low ceilings and narrow doors. We picked their furniture up from storage in Southampton, on delivery it proved very difficult to get it in to it's new home apart from being extremely heavy it fitted in with just a half inch to spare and after a lot of huffing and puffing we managed to get it in without damaging the newly painted door frame.
Another great job

This is the fourth job undertaken by Derek and his team so this review speaks for itself! We have had two very old armchairs, a settee, leather chesterfield and now a sofa bed. All this furniture has been given a new lease of life and unrecognisable. You would think they had come straight from Harrods. Derek and his team are very helpful and friendly. Not forgetting Karen who painstakingly helped me choose the leather for the chesterfield. We only had to wait just over a week and courtesy chairs were offered if needed. Thank you, Derek and your team for your amazing work.

I am very happy with this company's work. I asked them to completely clean and valet my sofa. When it was returned to me I could see a great difference and it looked new. The staff have always been polite and helpful. I felt at ease when they were in my house.

Mary whilst your job was not a big one ,if it is important to you it is important to us . After nearly 43 years in the upholstery business industry we have carried out re - upholstery of a single dining chair seat which has led to bigger jobs ,to the largest contract to strip down and re-upholster the seats of the top balcony of the Mayflower theatre in Southampton. Thank you for taking the time to post your review
