Recently dropped in a couple of back cushions from my sofa as the padding had gone! Within 2 days I had the cushions back stronger than ever & looking like new. Price was cheaper than buying the cheap standard filling. Will definitely use again.

The 2 x back cushion interiors were saved from going to landfill , instead of replacing them we added extra polyester fiberfill which was a very cost effective option Thank you for your business

I have three very old barley-sugar leg dining chairs, all of which had their original leather seats, but the leather was crazed and torn, and then one of the seats got broken. I took it over to Derek to ask if he could do anything. He has repaired the broken seat and re-covered all three seats with a lovely coloured leather he had in stock, and in addition is very kindly reglueing the back of one of the chairs for no additional cost. The work did not take long and the chairs look beautiful and are very comfortable. I highly recommend this firm.

The three dining chairs with barley twist legs were made of oak and produced in the 1960’s. The seats were stripped out to the base frames and re-upholstered in a good quality blue leather. As a good will gesture we repaired one of the backs free of charge.

Derek re-upholstered a fireside chair for us two years ago in a check pattern fabric. We had another fireside chair that we wanted to match so Derek took photos to ensure the pattern looked the same. Derek picked up the chair last week and delivered it back today. The workmanship is superb and we couldn't be happier with the result. We would recommend DeeCee wholeheartedly.

We needed our old couch recovered. The frame was still in good condition. They came to our house to give an estimate. Told us it would take 7 to 10 days to deliver. Fantastic job. Brilliant service.

I have had Dee Cee Upholstery's before they are a very trustworthy firm. Very helpful. I am absolutely thrilled with my suite. In April, I tried another firm to reupholster my furniture, it was an absolute disaster from beginning to end. I wouldn't let them take it back to retry the work. Instead, I rang Dee Cee they came and I now have a beautiful furniture.
