Dee Cee reupholstered my Parker Knoll chair. The service was excellent from start to finish. Derek advised me on which patterns would be unsuitable, and what would be suitable. They finished the job really quickly and picked up and delivered. I love the results and am very pleased to recommend Dee Cee Upholstery.

The Parker Knoll wing chair is a classic design that will never go out of date It is so well made when re-upholstered it is as good as new , and will last for many years to come. We are also pleased that our customer would recommend us .

We had to replace the leather fabric on our dining room table chairs which were split and worn. We did consider replacing the chairs but are so glad that we did not, Dee Cee Upholstery did an excellent job – seamless throughout, very helpful on the telephone responding to our first email enquiry, a wonderful range of fabrics. Very quick and efficient service; collection work completed and delivery. The quality of the work cannot be faulted and we have ended up with a far superior set of chairs both in comfort and quality than originally provided by the furniture retailer. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Once again Dee Cee Upholstery have performed another miracle! Eighteen months ago they rejuvenated two sixties armchairs and now they have done an amazing job on our settee giving us a very posh three piece suite. Even though they had a backlog of work due to Covid-19 the work was completed in just over a week. We can’t praise them highly enough for their top quality work, efficiency and friendliness. Wonderful company.

We had a variety of work done - a 1970’s swivel chair and 2 x 1930’s dining chairs recovered, plus cushions made and covered for 2 vintage Ercol chairs. Dee See has a huge collection of fabrics, offer advice where needed and nothing is too much trouble - Derek and Karen are so helpful and accommodating. A first class job on all pieces, all completed perfectly and to the very highest standard - so pleased and we can’t recommend highly enough.

Excellent Service on Sofa Repar

Contacted Dee Cee about a leather sofa which is about 10 years old. Received a call back to arrange a visit for a free quote to carry out the works. Arrived as arranged, quote came through promptly at a fair price. Once we accepted the quote, we paid a deposit and the work was carried out really quickly. The job was to recover a seat and arm area on one end of a three seater recliner sofa. They came and de-built the sofa, took away the parts they required, carried out the repair and returned and rebuilt it. The job has been done to an excellent high standard as you would expect from a long standing company such as Dee Cee Upholstery.

Dee Cee re-upholstered 2 x sets of window seat cushions for us. They were most helpful in choosing fabrics with us and keeping us informed as the job progressed. The workmanship is excellent and the cost was as agreed. Would definitely use again if we have similar jobs and would recommend to anyone.

We were very pleased with the work carried out to our dining room chairs and leather armchairs. The service was fast and friendly and completed in approx 2weeks, considering we had eight chairs to be re- upholstered. We would recommend this trader and would use them again.

Cannot fault the speedy, friendly and expert service provided by Dee Cee. I really wish I had more chairs to take to the shop so that they could be given a new 'lease of life'. I very rarely bother to give feedback but felt in this case it would be such a pity not to share my very positive experience. This is a firm that we are very lucky to have in this area.

Thank you for your review , about your small antique walnut showood chair that we recently re-upholstered and renovated in a light golden beige velvet . Whilst it was in our showroom awaiting collection it was admired by our customers in fact one customer inquired if it was for sale .
