The Blackheath Upholsterer
Upholsterers in East Tilbury, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 January 2018
“The Blackheath Upholsterer re-upholstered our drab DFS footstool with stunning House of Hackney fabric. It has totally transformed the piece and it now makes a beautiful and colourful statement in the room. It has become my favourite piece of furniture. She pays great attention to detail and it shows in her work. Recommend +++++”

“Ray and Rowena restored a family rocking chair that had huge sentimental value. Tasteful design and the workmanship was first class. The chair has pride of position in our living room.”
Polly Granville
Upholsterers in East Tilbury, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 June 2015
“I discovered Polly's unique upholstery through a local network, but I'd happily travel across London to use her services. The attention to detail on the ready made pieces I've bought is amazing - Polly takes unloved old pieces and transforms them into highly individual items of furniture. I love the subtle differences between the pair of chairs I bought, and the detail in the embroidery that sets them apart from other upholstered pieces. I've also commissioned some bespoke work from Polly, using her fabric searching service. I'm not sure what I was expecting from this beforehand as it was the first time I've used a service like this, but chatting with Polly about the chairs and looking at some ideas in the studio was incredibly helpful. Polly helped me to develop and distill my thoughts and preferences to gain a clear picture of what I wanted, and sourced a number of fabric samples that fitted the bill. Another discussion on the pros and cons of the choices available meant I was absolutely sure of my choice and delighted with the result. I will definitely use Polly's bespoke service again.”

TS Design Studio Ltd
Upholsterers in East Tilbury, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 May 2021
“I am absolutely delighted with the total professionalism of TS Design Studio. We have had in our family an old Captains chair that is over one hundred years old and which was badly in need of some help. All the legs had become unglued, the leather seat insert had long ago worn out and the general appearance was very tired. TS Design Studio gave us an honest opinion on the best way to restore our chair. Not wanting to opt for a modern foam and staple job, the chair was lovingly restored using similar methods and materials as those used by the original craftsman over one hundred years ago, the result was stunning and we are so thrilled with the finished work. TS Design Studio have a wealth of knowledge and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Tomasz: Thank you so much for all the passion you have shown during this restoration and for your understanding on just how much this chair meant to us as a family. Your advise and attention to detail is amazing and we shall be forever grateful to you. Best wishes, Bill Hunstone”

“Helen from Headings and Hems made my bedroom curtains. She gave great advice helping me choose the material and style. I was indecisive and she was very patient and understanding. I am delighted with the result. The quality of her work is incredible, she is highly skilled with great attention to detail, yet affordable. Highly recommended.”

“I got one of the Dodo cushions (though it was a tough choice - the owls and the dogs are really cute too) and I am so pleased with it and I've had several friends comment on how unusual it is - it's quite the talking piece. The fabric is really good quality and the stitching really impressed me - it feels like it will last a long time and will stand up to the stresses and strains of your average family sofa! I may just have to get my dodo a companion... :)”
Simon Houlding Upholstery Ltd
Upholsterers in East Tilbury, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 August 2023
“I had an idea for seating in our kitchen, but Simon Holding Upholstery brought it to life. I must say I didn’t expect it to be as brilliant as it is. To start, they created the frame for our banquette seating, which was made with precision – exactly to fit in the space. It wasn’t long before the entire banquette was upholstered and it was ready to install and fitted beautifully by Mike. So much care was taken from start to finish, overseen by Simon, with his eye for perfection and flair. I can’t recommend Simon Holding Upholstery enough. They were friendly, creative and produced our seating beyond expectations.”
Nina's Workshop
Upholsterers in East Tilbury, Essex
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 February 2019
“Nina renewed the worn-out seats of our six dining chairs. She did a perfect job, providing advice on suitable fabric, and a friendly and professional service at a very reasonable price, and it was a pleasure dealing with her. I would highly recommend Nina’s Workshop for any upholstery work.”

Upcycling has become more and more popular lately, as the fashion for retro and rustic furniture has returned, but doing it yourself can cause all sorts of mishaps, so professional furniture restoration specialists should be called in to handle the job properly, especially if the piece of furniture you’re dealing with is particularly tricky. Upholsterers in East Tilbury are your saving grace when it comes to refreshing your furniture or soft furnishings. It’s true that when redesigning or redecorating a home, it’s tempting to throw everything out and start again with all-new furniture and decor. But this requires a big budget and a ruthless attitude, which may not necessarily be needed with all redesigns, so instead, consider hiring East Tilbury furniture upholsterers to reupholster, repair, restore or redesign some key pieces for you.

You’d be surprised at the magic furniture upholsterers can do to an old piece of soft furnishing; rips can be mended, worn fabric refreshed and extra elements added, at a lower price than buying brand new. You can ask for reupholstery or furniture restoration of the item, to match it as closely as possible to its former glory or ask for something completely different to match your redesign. Trims, piping and fringing can be added for additional flourishes, new fabric patterns chosen, extra padding added, chair backs or headboards buttoned and new sofa or duvet covers stitched.

If you’re not quite sure what to do with your old furniture, try taking it to furniture furniture restoration specialists in East Tilbury to ask for their advice. Established upholstery services will be able to handle all sorts of fabric upholstery and reupholstery, including leather upholstery, and recommend the fabric that will work with your furniture and design theme. They will also be able to tell you about the durability of the fabric they will use and how to look after your re-upholstered item.
