Upholsterer in Glossop.

Much of our SK13 work is cushions and foam, followed by sofas, footstools and armchairs. A flattened seat cushion is the easiest job to bring over from Glossop: drop the old one in and we cut new foam from it, which is the most reliable pattern because it already matches the cover. Foam up to two inches deep can often be cut the same day where stock allows, and most domestic foam orders are ready within a week. Foam cut to size covers the grades we stock, from soft seat pads to firm contract foam.

If the whole sofa has had enough, a full recover still starts with the frame. We will tell you from photos whether it looks worth doing before you arrange anything.

A noticeable share of our SK13 jobs are for companies rather than homes, which is higher than in the Tameside districts nearer the workshop. For pubs, cafes, hotels and offices we work in Crib 5 fabric with combustion-modified foam, give an itemised quote so you can see what each seat or booth costs, and plan the work around your trading hours. Larger jobs start with a site visit. Commercial upholstery explains how we run contract work, and the Townhouse Hotel brasserie in Manchester, more than 70 chairs and a curved booth in Crib 5, shows the scale we handle.

Glossop is where the A57 heads up over the Snake Pass, and a van used for Peak District weekends gets wet coats, muddy boots and dogs on its cushions. We recover caravan and motorhome cushion sets, replace foam that has collapsed, and make covers from templates where the shapes are awkward. Wipe-clean and pet-friendly fabrics are in the showroom alongside softer weaves.

You do not need to bring the van. Cushions can be dropped at the workshop and collected when done, and most caravan cushion jobs take two to three weeks. See caravan cushion replacement for what to photograph, and our caravan cushion set recover for a finished example.

Send photos by WhatsApp or through the quote form, with your postcode if you would like us to collect. Written quotes usually come back the same working day, with the collection charge included.
