“I run a residential interior design business and have been using Dawes Upholstery for years. They provide excellent quality at competitive prices and their customer service is second to none. Wayne the owner of the business is a joy to work with - responsive, always sticks to deadlines and tries to accommodate you. I know how hard it is to find reliable and good quality tradespeople and upholsterers in particular and would highly recommend Dawes Upholstery. Elena Romanova Interiors”

Sumptuous Furnishing
Upholsterers in Godalming, Surrey
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 July 2015
“I commissioned Sumptuous Furnishing to re upholster an old sofa and armchair. This involved replacing springs, stuffing and re covering. The quality of service throughout was excellent. I received expert advice from someone who was clearly passionate about what they do and has a flair for being creative whilst practical. They went out of their way to guide me through the various decisions before undertaking the project, provided a fair quote and stuck to their deadline. I was very impressed with the result, I now have a comfortable, hard wearing, smart looking sofa and chair and cant believe I put mending them off for so long. It was all so easy in the end! Thank you, and would definitely recommend to others.”
Upholster3
Upholsterers in Godalming, Surrey
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 December 2020
“we decided to have our old dining room chairs reupholstered rather than replace them. The girls at Upholster 3 did an amazing job! We also wanted the seats to be slightly higher and better cushioned so they added cushion to each. They are perfect and the lighter fabric we chose is a great match for our dining room. Would highly recommend. Thanks girls.”
Vicky Cable Upholstery Studio

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 May 2016
“It is so easy to have high expectations in this world, but sometimes you have to appreciate the level of detail, meticulous planning and patience that goes into creating sheer brilliance on a scale I’ve never seen before. Vicky is a joy to work with, providing effective product guidance, enthusiasm and having excellent communication skills. She goes that extra step that ensures client satisfaction. Considering the finish product that Vicky has created, I would have no hesitation in recommending her professional abilities to others. She’s not cheap, but creating a masterpiece never is!”

Cocoon Upholstery Ltd
Upholsterers in Godalming, Surrey
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 February 2021
“I used Cocoon Upholstery services for the first time on the recommendation of a friend (amazing what good recommendations can turn into) - I had what I thought was an old tatty chair. I was determined that it was going in the skip. I was then persuaded to give it to Cocoon Upholstery because it was a genuine old chair and maybe they could do something with it that may give back it's old life. Well, all I can say is that I am so relieved that it didn't go to the skip! The chair has been restored to its former glory and given a new lease of life. I now use it as my go-to reading chair. Another bonus is that the chair is an original Howard Keith chair made in the 1950s and worth a decent sum of money. That's so good to know, but I will not be selling this chair thanks to the professional care it has received from Cocoon Upholstery and the TLC at no extra cost. Highly recommend Cocoon Upholstery's services because here you have a company with an authentic approach to making you fall in love with your furniture again and being kinder to the environment!”

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 Godalming 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 Godalming 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 Godalming 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.
