Read moreAltrincham — and the surrounding villages of Hale, Bowdon, Hale Barns and Timperley — sits at the affluent southern edge of Greater Manchester. The housing stock here trends toward larger Edwardian and inter-war semis with original features worth preserving, which means our Altrincham work is often premium recovery: hand-tied springs, traditional methods, leather suites, bespoke headboards for the bigger principal bedrooms.
We do a steady run of restaurant and café work on Goose Green and around Altrincham Market — bench seating, banquettes, bar stools — in Crib 5 fabrics with proper certification.
For caravan and motorhome customers with vans stored in the Tatton-area sites, we collect — most cushion sets back inside two to three weeks.

John Leah, Managing Director: We've been collecting from Stalybridge estates for decades — we know which have the tight stairs and which streets the van fits down.
We collect across Altrincham regularly — from Altrincham Market, Stamford Park, Tatton Park and across WA14, WA15.

Customer proof
What customers say after the work is back home.
“We ordered some campervan cushion covers and curtains from John at Valley Upholstery and cannot recommend him enough!! If anyone is looking to get some upholstery work done then this is the place to come.”
“In summer of 24, I had my dining chair seats recovered. Valley Upholstery did a fantastic job. A few months later, I decided I wanted a new suite, but couldn't find one I liked, so I went back to Valley and we discussed recovering my existing leather reclining sofas. There was such a lot of choice. John was very helpful and advised me of different materials I could choose from. I chose a very hard wearing product called Toro. Alan and Karl took one sofa at a time being very careful not to bang other furniture and wallpaper on the way out, and it was returned a few days later looking stunning. Amazing job! I can't fault them. 5* service. Thank you.”
“A truly hidden gem! They recovered 6 of our dining chairs. Fantastic choice of fabrics. Really welcoming staff and are grateful for your business. Would highly recommend.”
