Reupholstering Dining Chairs

From the time we took in one of the chairs for a quote, we were impressed with the professional service. We were given clear time scales and when they arranged to both collect and return the chairs their timekeeping was excellent. The quality of the work was excellent and we were extremely happy with the finished result. The six dining chairs both looked and felt brand new

Thank you for your 5 star review, we are delighted that you were impressed with the professional service that we provided, when we stripped out your six showood dining chairs (both seats and backs) to the bare frame and re-upholstered them in a traditional flatweave fabric, the edges were finished off with a twin piping in the same fabric. We always try to keep delivery dates etc. It is very satisfying that you describe our work as excellent, and we are pleased that you were extremely happy with the finished result . Kind regards Derek Caplen F.A.M.U.&.S.F (Fellow of The Association of Master Upholsterers & Soft Furnishers)

Our reputation as master upholsterers who specialize in top quality traditional re-upholstery goes far and wide ( our showroom and onsite workshops are based in Portswood Southampton and Ruth came to us all the way from Malmesbury in Wiltshire. The two seater button back Edwardian sofa was stripped out to the bare frame and was completely re-upholstered in an antique gold linen style flatweave fabric .We then replaced the coil seat springs and covered both seat and back in calico lining ready for the fabric to be applied. To add the finishing touch and make the job complete we cleaned and waxed the turned showood oak legs which enhanced the patina of the wood . Once again job completed on time to a very high quality thank you for your review and business

The two traditional style wing chairs were not just recovered , the original fabric was removed and the upholstery was then stripped out as required and re-upholstered including supplying replacement fire retardant seat cushion interiors wrapped in polyester wadding and stockinet lining. It was very pleasing to find our service was superb and that they would recommend us to anyone

Window seat cushion cover

I was really pleased with the friendly and reliable service Derek at Dee Cee Upholstery provided. The finished outcome, a window seat cushion cover, was better than I could have hoped for! My only slight niggle is that, days after I thought the job had been started, I had to confirm a third time that I wanted the work to be done. This meant that I had to wait a bit longer but it was well worth the wait!

The window seat was custom made by our customers carpenter . The fabric used was a chenille selected from our end of rolls in our remnant room at ( ( at half the normal retail price ) . We upholstered the base using 3 " medium density fire retardant foam covered with an interliner of 4 0z polyester . We then trimmed the top edge with piping in the same fabric and delivered the window seat free of charge, as our customer stated it was worth the wait.

Jill chose a Sanderson linen union fabric to re-upholster and recover her good quality sofa bed . We stripped the sofa bed to the bare frame and used the latest fire retardant high density foam , the seat cushion interiors were replaced with a medium density foam which was wrapped in polyester wadding and covered in a stockinet lining .
