Dee Cee Upholstery & Interiors

I have used Dee Cee a number of times over the years, from buying an Ottoman to having a piece of furniture restored. Today I went to the shop to buy some foam for a problem in my car!! Each time all the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable, but more importantly the workmanship has throughout been first rate. I have no hesitation in recommending Dee Cee to anyone.

Dee Cee Upholstery was recommended by several local people as a skilled, reliable upholsterer and they did not disappoint. Derek came to look at the chair at my home and agreed on next steps before taking it away to be fully re-covered. Everyone involved was polite, friendly and reliable, with everything happening exactly as promised. I would not hesitate to recommend this longstanding, independent business for quality upholstery.

From the first enquiry to the finished job, we were delighted with the service that Derek, Karen and his co-worker (sorry, can't remember his name!) provided. Our sofa bed, which we'd bought secondhand three years ago and which we wanted reupholstered to blend in with the rest of our decoration and furniture, now looks new. Though we are no experts, the quality of workmanship is plain to see; and the service from picking up the sofa to return (2 weeks) was excellent and, most importantly, to the date specified and price agreed. Needless to say, we'd highly recommend Dee Cee and would certainly consider using them again if needing further furniture renovation.

Having brought 2 large sofas with 4 feather filled back cushions we were unhappy with the look, as after use they flopped down and needed constant attention to look like they had any substance. Having discussed this with Derek at Dee Cee he recommended a solution to remove feathers and replace with a high-quality cut to size and shaped foam. Work was carried out quickly ,professionally and the finished result was amazing (Happy Wife etc) The cost was better than expected and we will not hesitate to use Dee Cee in the future and recommend them to others .

I have used Dee Cee Upholstery before for upholstery work, and always found their work to be top-notch; and I recently decided to try them on a repair job on the frame of a dining room chair that had become wobbly and needed serious attention. Friends had said that all was needed was to insert screws into the loose joints, but fortunately I decided to ask Derek what he would do, and he said that, for a proper job, one would need to disassemble the chair and replace the dowels of the joints. I am so happy I went to him: they did a fantastic repair to the chair and now I am sure that it will last for years + he even, at my request, replaced the chair leg pads, which I was very grateful for, as I am so tired of doing this myself with stick-on felt pads that usually come off after a few months. At Dee Cee Upholstery, they do it properly with screw-on felt pads, and this was a great discovery for me.

We brought in an armchair made by my grandfather and in need of repair and recovering to fit the colours of our newly decorated front room. We chose the material and the work was done brilliantly. We were a little apprehensive whether it would be money well spent but we need not have worried and it is perfect and there is material left over for some new cushions. Thank you Derek. It was worth every penny.

I had no idea what I was doing but Dee Cee Upholstery guided me through my project. Made me two superb quality bench cushions that we love. Very friendly service with attention to detail. Thank you very much.

Dining chairs reupholstered. Work done quickly and efficiently. Would certainly use again. Recommend without reservation. Thank you.

Original pvc covering had worn through badly. Replaced with a much thicker pvc and renewed cushioning.

From providing the initial quote, to the work being completed, Derek and Karen were an absolute pleasure to deal with. They provided a timely quote and were able to complete the work to our timescales. The chairs were returned today and have been reupholstered to a high standard. We will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you Karen and Derek!

Ordered two recliners and they were delivered and assembled without fuss and at the time advised. The old chairs were removed at the same time. Very pleased with the service.

Once again a brilliant job. Would never consider going anywhere else. He even matched the pattern to our other furniture from previous work he did. Derek is a true craftsman and a gent. Thank you once again for a perfect service

I had a stool upholstered - great choice of fabric, quick and easy visit to drop off the item, invoice provided via email, beautiful finished product. The owner was knowledgeable about furniture and told me a bit about the stool which was interesting. Very professional service all around.

Friendly and easy to deal with. We never had to wait for a response - callbacks were very prompt; quote and revised quotes were issued quickly. Everything was so quick and easy - from making a first enquiry to choosing fabric and then getting the job done and receiving the invoice. Very smooth and professional. We are delighted with the result - 2 modern and 4 antique dining chairs all very smart and comfortable in a matter of a couple of weeks.

Dee Cee Upholstery did a great job re-uphostering two special chairs that had become rather tired. They did it in the time frame they'd promised, at a reasonable price, and to a high standard. Very pleased and would definitely use them again

I have used Dee Cee several times over the past thirty years. Again, excellent service and workmanship as usual.

We wanted new cushions and seat pads for our cherished sofa and went to Dee Cee upholstery for these. On visiting the store the service we got was fantastic and after discussion and advice from the lady in the store we ordered the cushion interiors and they were going to rewrap and change wadding on seat pads as the foam was okay. This was all arranged quickly and efficiently and we arranged to drop covers off so they could put them on the new interiors and the seat pads for us. They asked us to call back the following week to pick up the cushions and pads. During the week we damaged one off the seat pad covers in our washing machine so we called into Dee Cee and they said this was no problem and would put new matching materiel on seat pad and all would be available to collect as arranged within a few days. We called to collect on the Thursday and all was done as promised with new cushions and rewrapped, repaired seat pads which matched perfectly with our sofa. I would highly recommend Dee Cee upholstery for their great service and expertise.

Having just had my wing chair reupholstered I asked Dee Cee to recover a stool to match the chair. Once again they did an excellent job the chair and stool matching one another perfectly.

Excellent job. The chair was looking very tired but i received professional advice on the work needed and it was then done on time and in budget at a fair price. Chair now better than new!

Derek and his team were of great help and their skills have left us with virtually new furniture which will last years.

We had a problem with the cushions on a sofa we bought recently as they were too deep and lumpy. We took them to Dee Cee Upholstery who were happy to discuss our problem and then went on to alter them and renew the filling. This has improved their comfort enormously.

We have used Dee Cee on multiple occasions now. Their work was always to a high standard, the service was fantastic and the price very reasonable. What is not to like !

Great service, very reasonable cost and exceptional results - transformed a tired old chair into a thing of beauty. A great company to deal with in all respects. Thank you Dee Cee!

I recently left a review for work carried out by Derek and his team to re-upholster our office chair and our 3 piece sweet cushions and supply a new mattress for the sofa bed. So outstanding was the work that we decided to get our oak dining room chairs re-upholstered too. We picked them up today. First class work again and carried out very quickly. Even though the pattern of the hard-wearing covers was not critical for placement matching on each chair, Derek matched placement for all of the cushions for our chairs and they look stunning in our dining room … Derek also treated the cloth with a product to protect against soiling … an extra bonus … thank you for restoring our furniture … if it’s real craftwork you need and at a reasonable price, look no further … brilliant!

We had a sofa bed and two armchairs that needed new seating cushions plus a new mattress for the sofa bed. Also an office swivel chair that needed reupholstering. All the pieces were of good frame quality. Derek was very knowledgeable and clearly took great pride in his work having received numerous awards. Nevertheless Derek was approachable and gave us reasonable quotes. We also visited his shop in Southampton to chose the material for the work. The work was carried out in a reasonable period of time and was delivered to us today. Amazing! The old office swivel chair is now as new having been re-padded and covered to a very high quality. The mattress fits perfectly and is very supportive and comfortable with a zip fasening to enable removal of the cover for laundering … great thinking. All of the seating cushions have been meticulously re-padded and covered so that the lines on the tartan cloth we chose are coordinated and match perfectly at the edges etc. … superb craftmanship. We would thoroughly recommend Dee Cee Upholstery for providing a very high standard of care and attention and at a reasonable price … it is very hard to find, these days, small business tradesmen who take great pride in applying their expertese and skill in restoring furniture to its former glory but Derek is one of them. Thank you.
