Services
Reupholstery
Our reupholstery service revitalises antique and modern furniture by replacing worn covers and cushions. We use fire-retardant fabrics and traditional techniques to restore structural integrity while preserving design heritage. Clients can select from our extensive leather and fabric library or supply their own materials. This service extends furniture lifespan significantly.
Leather Repairs
Specialist leather restoration addresses tears, stains, and colour loss on sofas, chairs, and car seats. We employ sub-patching, colour-matching, and sealer application to repair damage on-site or in our workshop. Our methods ensure minimal visibility while maintaining material durability and aesthetic consistency.
French Polishing
Traditional French polishing and modern lacquer applications restore wooden furniture surfaces. We assess each piece to determine the appropriate finish, balancing protection with aesthetic enhancement. This service repairs scratches, water damage, and wear while preserving the wood's natural grain patterns.
Car Seat Repairs
We repair leather and vinyl interiors for classic and modern vehicles, including luxury brands like Jaguar and Mercedes. Services include panel replacement, stitching restoration, and colour-matching for seamless repairs. Most work completed at the client's location with manufacturer-specific techniques.
Eames Restoration
Specialist restoration of Eames-designed furniture including shock mount replacements, polypropylene back repairs, and plywood shell refinishing. We maintain original specifications while upgrading components where necessary. This service preserves the integrity of iconic mid-century designs for continued use.
