New foam and material put on my dining chair seats. The seats weren't very securely replaced, but they were re-screwed to the chairs on the same day when informed. As I was expecting to replace the seats myself, this wasn't a big problem.

Thank you for your feedback with reference to the two traditional wing back chairs from the 1960s . On stripping the old cover off we found that the chairs had been 'bodged' up and that there was the original wool Mouquet under the top cover . The wing chairs were taken back to the frame and completely re-upholstered to the latest fire retardant regulations, and I am sure that our customer was left sitting comfortably

Dee Cee Upholstery completely reupholstered my two sofas last year and did an amazing job. Recently my dog got her ball stuck under the edge of the sofa when I was out and she chewed the fabric to try to get to her ball. I contacted Derik to ask if they could mend. The sofa was very promptly collected and the new panel of fabric was replaced, it now looks like new again. They also made me two custom made cushions so my little dogs can use them as a step to jump up onto sofas. These also had removable zip covers so I can wash them and they were sprayed with stain protector ( thoughtful extras). Very pleased , if you want an efficient professional service with top quality workmanship use Dee Gee Upholstery.

Hi Jeanette , thank you for such a positive review , I was surprised that your puppy had made a hole in your newly re-upholstered sofa . The fabric was still available and we placed the order, we arranged for the sofa to be collected and carried out the repair and recovery of the bottom front border and delivered the sofa back in just a few days. At your request we made 2 x cushions for your dogs to use , the fabric is machine washable at 30 degrees . Derek Caplen (F.A.M.U.) FELLOW OF THE ASSCOSIATION OF MASTER UPHOLSTERERS

From the day we contacted the above company to the completed work we were very impressed with the service we received. We were kept informed all the way about collection of furniture, repair progress up to the last day when the furniture was returned. It took less time than we had expected to complete the work. The chairs look amazing and are very comfortable again. Thank you, Derek for your kindness and professionalism. We certainly will recommend Dee Cee Upholstery to our friends and family.

At Dee Cee Upholstery & interiors no job is too small, the 4 x cushion interiors had reached there 'sell by date ' and were in desperate need to be replaced . After discussing the different options our customer took our advice and went for the best quality foam interiors with a thick polyester wrap for extra comfort . As our customer stated her sofas are as good as new now and at the fraction of the cost of replacements.

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.

My two 60s armchairs looked ready for the tip but Dee Cee took on the daunting task of refurbishing my chairs. They did an absolutely amazing job. I didn’t recognise the chairs when the were delivered, well under the time they estimated. I cannot speak highly enough of Dee Cee. All the staff were courteous and friendly and I have no hesitation recommending them. I will now have many more years enjoying my brand new chairs. Well done Dee Cee.

We were called in to " salvage " 2 x 1960 's arm chairs that had their original fabric on them . Our customer chose a hard wearing chenille for us to re-upholster the chairs in , the chairs were in need of complete re-upholstering i.e. stripping back to the base frame and applying replacement filing as required.

Excellent service from start to finish. Very helpful advice as to what would be the best design. Didn't want visible castors but wanted to move footstool easily so Derek suggested using the castors hidden behind light oak feet which looks and works really well. Cannot fault workmanship and I am really pleased with it. Style matches my existing sofa perfectly. They are very professional and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Will definitely be using them again in the near future.

We also managed to get the same fabric to match the original, the finished box ottoman was then sprayed with anti stain protection and delivered free of charge as you can see by Millie's review she was very pleased with the finished product, thank you for an excellent review.
