I have a parker knoll armchair that due to arthritis, I used constantly not only for daytime but also at night as I could not sleep in my bed. Dee Cee said they could renovate it for a fairly reasonable cost & I would get it back for Christmas. Job completed, beautifully upholstered & I will be sitting in it over xmas.

We had our suite recovered. They came and gave us an estimate and allowed us to bring sample books home to choose our fabric. The suite was collected on the date they said and delivered back at the arranged date. We are very happy with the result and would recommend the company to others. They also lent us 2 chairs while they did the work.

Convert pine headboard

My 1980's pine bed needed a revamp so I took the headboard to Derek to be upholstered. He cut the rounded headboard into a rectangle and upholstered it in a grey linen fabric. A lot of discussion went into exactly how he would do it and what I wanted. Everything was done to schedule and communication was excellent. Derek was very helpful and professional throughout. I am delighted with the result.

Thankyou for your review , your old pine headboard was looking dated and you wanted to modernise it, after discussing your requirements . We decided the best way to do the headboard was to trim the curved top edge and cut off the end finials to make it straight along the top edge . Next we applied a layer of fire retardant upholstery foam and covered it with a grey linen fabric, we also sprayed the finished headboard with anti stain protection to help it to keep it clean.

We first used Dee Cee Upholstery some 40 years ago. Recently they have reupholstered our Dining Chairs. The workmanship is second to none. It was carried within the agreed time scale and at the quoted price even though a more expensive fabric was used as our original choice had been discontinued. A very friendly and professional company with which do business. We would thoroughly recommend them.

Dee Cee Upholstery re-covered the entirety of my vintage 60s three seater sofa, and I am beyond delighted with the result. I was in the middle of a stressful housemove, when I took the opportunity to get it re-upholstered, and they were so accomodating, picking the sofa up before we moved and delivering it once we were in our new home. They are a warm, friendly, family-ran company (including an adorable King Charles Spaniel!), who provide excellent service and very high-quality work. Highly recommended!

Hi Sam , it was a real pleasure to renovate and re-upholster your 1960's sofa ( which is a real collectors item ) . The fact that you were as passionate about it as we are , (we could not wait to restore it to it's former glory ) . Also the fabric you chose , was just perfect for the style and era and we are glad it has taken pride of place and it fits your new home . Thanks' for your review , I am afraid Rio does not come with your sofa !
