Excellent work at less than expected!

Derek came to assess what was required and quoted to re-plump the leather seat on my chair, which was very compressed, and also replace the webbing, as well as plump the back as well. They collected it, completed the work and returned it in 10 days. I asked for the seat cushion to be firm and am delighted with the result. In addition, they called to say that the work took less time than expected, so reduced the price they originally quoted, which was a pleasant surprise. Very efficient and professional company, who also offer a warranty on their work.

When I paid a visit to quote for the job in hand, the electric recliner chair leather seat needed to be stripped out to the base frame and be reupholstered. Using a firm fire retardant high resilient foam interior, and whilst we had the chair in our workshop we put extra padding in the back. Thank you for your excellent review
Top quality work.

We are really pleased with the work Dee Cee Upholstery have completed. They made 5 new cushions for our suite and it is now like having a completely new suite without the expense of a brand new suite. It is such a sensible option to upgrade and refresh a tired suite with newly made seats and covers. The suite is really modern looking now and fabulously comfortable. The work has been top quality, reasonably priced with a friendly and quick service. Highly recommend Dee Cee Upholstery.

Derek and team have been a pleasure to deal with. We have had an old M&S sofa (24 years old) re-upholstered to an amazing standard, it looks better than new. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none. It was a 2 week turnaround and they kindly provided chairs for us to use in the interim period. I would thoroughly recommend Dee Cee upholstery and will be returning in the future.

I am over the moon with the quality of workmanship from Dee Cee Interiors. I was apprehensive about having my suite re-upholstered, but wow I have two absolutely unique stunning sofas, in superb fabrics. Derek and his team spent time explaining about the fabrics and which fabrics would crush over time and which wouldn't. The staff at Dee Cee were always very helpful and friendly, the whole experience was excellent, very personal and friendly, yet professional. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Dee Cee Interiors. A first class job!

Would really recommend DeeCee upholstery. A fantastic job was carried out recovering my dining chairs. They had a great selection of materials available to choose from, but helped narrow the selection down for me to make choosing easy and simple. They also offer a stain protection and collected and dropped off my chairs to my house, which was really helpful. Great customer service and a very professional job, will definitely be using again.

Hi Caroline thank you for your review, as your chairs were 30 years old they were in need of stripping back to the frame and re- upholstered. It is nice to hear your comments about great customer service and that we have done a professional job .

Our customer in Totton emailed her requirements for a very large made to measure window seat cushion interior . We were able to work off the very good detailed diagram and measurements supplied for us to cut the medium density fire retardant foam to size . Adhering to our customers instructions we then glued a 4 oz. polyester wadding to the foam and then covered the window seat in a stockinet lining. I delivered the completed job free of charge on the way home .

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.

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

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.
