Mike and Eve were customer of ours 15 years ago as they were so pleased with our previous re-upholstery service and excellent finished job we were the obvious choice My partner Karen helped them to choose the perfect fabric from over 150 pattern books in our showroom. Our customers opted to have their sofas and box ottoman together with tailor made arm caps protected with insurance backed anti stain warranty.

I had an old reproduction button back chair that needed revitalising and Derek was happy to reupholster it, having recovered our sofa with purple velvet to an excellent standard. I really wanted a Liberty print fabric but I knew it would be expensive. Derek told me how much fabric I would need and waited patiently for me to buy it and proceed when I was ready. The fabric arrived and Derek took the chair and it away. When he brought it back to choose a braid rather than studding I was amazed and delighted. He suggested I keep the braid catalogue overnight and check my choice in the daylight. I received the completed chair within a couple of days and it looks fabulous. I love this iconic Liberty peacock feather Hera print and have a stunning piece of furniture. Thank you Derek 😊

It was great to work with our customers, their classic deep button back reproduction showood chair was re-upholstered without the buttons as they would distort the beautiful pattern of iconic Peacock Feather Hera the Liberty Print. The chair was trimmed with antique studs before which were replaced by a chocolate coloured gimp/braid which complemented the fabric and the polished showood. Thank you for your business and for taking the time to post a review.

Extremely pleased with the re-upholstery of our two Armchair Cushions at Dee-Cee Upholstery and Interiors. First Class Workmanship at a reasonable price and an excellent Customer Service. Work completed within a week. Refreshing to find someone like Derek and his Wife. Highly recommended.

Our customer tried out the different density fire retardant foams on offer to choose from, after sitting on them they chose a medium seat grade wrapped with polyester and stockinet lining. We filled their existing seat covers, with the new interiors. The back cushions were filled with polyester fiberfill and rather than replace the interiors completely we put extra filling in them which was the less expensive option. There is no job too small for us to take on, if it is important to our customer it is important to us.

We have an antique chair which has been the family for many decades, and which was looking and feeling tired. DeeCee have done an excellent refurbishment job on the chair, transforming it, and done so in promptly, in about 10 days.

We specialize in traditional antique re-upholstery and use original skills passed on through the ages. The chair was reupholstered in soft chenille, when working on antique upholstery we always use traditional fillings such as horsehair and cotton linter felt i.e. no foam.

I commissioned Dee Cee to repair and reupholster my grandfather's old rocking chair and some more modern dining chairs and they have done a superb job. Karen helped me decide on the right fabrics from an impossibly large array of options and they look perfect now the chairs are done and home. Derek showed great attention to detail on the work, as well as providing a super-efficient collection and delivery service. They only take the chairs away when they are ready to do the work, and the project was complete within a week. The finished chairs are a world away from what they were and are a real enhancement to my home now. Thank you Dee Cee!

Suite overhaul

A full overhaul and recovering of a three piece suite, restoring it to the same brand new condition as when we bought it nearly twenty years ago. Done quickly within the time estimated and delivered when agreed. The whole process from original visit to delivery went very well. They also supplied furniture for us to use whilst the job was being done. Cost was very similar to a big national company, so it was good to go local.

Hi Stephen thank you for an excellent review, having re-upholstered and not just recovered your sofas and chairs we are sure that your three-piece suite will last another 20 years. Which I am sure that you agree gives you great value for money. Since 1978 we have always gone the extra mile by providing our customers with "courtesy chairs "to use whilst your furniture is in our care, and you are left sitting comfortably.

I couldn't replace my kitchen chairs as they didn't do them anymore so got them recovered and they are as good as new - really pleased. Also feel virtuous and better for environment to redo than throwing away

Re - upholstery is one of the oldest forms of recycling now called up cycling . and saves a trip to the dump , and less going to landfill.

We had a chair and ottoman reupholstered in a 'designer guild' fabric. The chair was brand new from loaf. The chair is better than new with more plump cushions and a more luxurious feel. Customer service is second to none. You really feel in the hands of masters.

Whilst this was only a small repair job, if it is important to our customer it is also important to us. As another satisfied customer can recommend us to potential future clients and it is helpful to our business.
