I used this firm several years ago and they are still as good as I found them then. Nothing is too much trouble and the work first class. They really pulled the stops out to get the job done for me on a chair before I had visitors. Highly recommended.

I took 2 bar stools and a dressing table stool to Derek to be upholstered. Derek made me aware that the foam in the bar stools was no longer supportive and needed replacing. He provided me with a quote to reupholster the dressing table stool in a fabric of my choice and to replace the foam in the bar stools and reupholster in fabric I had already purchased. All 3 stools were finished to a high quality standard and Derek also fixed the loose foot rests on the bar stools. Derek's attention to detail has impressed me and I will be returning when I need any further chairs reupholstered.

Sofa cushions rejuvenated

I had 2 very tired sofa seat cushions restuffed. The owners were very helpful and gave me a cost quote and delivery date. They explained that the cushions were much larger than usual so the cost would be quite high. The work was delivered before the quoted date and the quality of the work was excellent. They have given my old sofa a new lease of life and made it much more comfortable.

Dee Cee Upholstery have given good service to a range of projects over the years and returning to solve the problem of sagging seat cushions on a small sofa did not disappoint. A friendly attitude and helpful advice, followed by speedy and efficient workmanship has resulted in a smart and comfortable sofa one again. The free delivery of the finished cushions was an added bonus. Thank you all.

Amazing Job

I took in the ‘back’ cushions of a large sofa which had collapsed after a few years of boisterous kids using them in pillow fights… Dee Cee did an incredible job re-stuffing them, making them firmer and more comfortable than ever! I’m so impressed by the professionalism and quality of service. The cost feels a bit high, but for the level of service it’s definitely fair.

Derek was friendly & highly professional.He supplied an estimate which he kept to and did the work on time .He supplied polyester reinforcement to 5 cushions from our 2 Multi York sofas .He also renewed the foam , recovered & fitted a new stanchion to our large stool and made 4 arm covers for the sofas. He went out of his way to find the best colour matches for the fabrics and delivered the finished work to our home. All the work was done to the highest standard . He is a true master craftsman and his work is worth every penny .Would definitely recommend him .

Initially I wanted to re-cover an otherwise perfectly good bucket chair. In the end, I had the chair re-upholstered and re-covered as the difference in price wasn't that extortionate. Dee Cee picked up my enquiry promptly and were able to provide the various options open to me. They provided quotes for both a straight re-cover and a full re-upholster of the chair. I chose material from their stock range so I don't know how much more expensive it would have been had I asked about material not in their stock. The chair was collected and delivered at no additional cost. Dee Cee were professional throughout, kept me updated and kept to their original quote. I am very pleased with the finished product and from an environmental perspective, worth every penny.

Dee Cee Upholsters were recommended to us by a friend, as we wanted our dining room chairs recovered and a window seat cushion made. The whole process was made so easy and painless by the owners and staff. They were very welcoming, professional and friendly. The job they did was just perfect and we are extremely pleased with the work they’ve done. Would highly recommend them to others.

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.

Sofa bed re-born!

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.

Cushions Replaced

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 .

REPAIR
Customer Service
Quality
Value
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.

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.
