Upholsterers in Manchester looking for a workshop rather than a city-centre showroom often land here first. Valley Upholstery is based in Stalybridge, twenty-five minutes from the city centre, with weekly collection routes across M postcodes and southern suburbs. We are not in the Manchester 3-pack map listing for every head term yet, but we do the work: domestic suites, pub refits, offices and film/TV pieces recovered to contract spec. For directions to the bench, use Google Maps directions or our Stalybridge workshop page.
Upholstery in Manchester
Upholstery in Manchester from Valley Upholstery covers the city centre, the Northern Quarter, Castlefield and the southern suburbs — Didsbury, Chorlton, Withington, Whalley Range and West Didsbury. We are independent upholsterers based in Stalybridge (twenty-five minutes away), not a city-centre showroom, which keeps overheads down and prices honest. Send photos for a same-day indicative quote, or book collection from your Manchester address on our weekly route.
Reupholstery Manchester
Reupholstery Manchester customers usually start with a three-piece suite, a dining set or a single heirloom chair. We strip back to the frame, replace failed webbing and foam where needed, and recover in your chosen fabric from our showroom library. Most domestic jobs turn around in two to four weeks with free collection across Greater Manchester when the route allows. See sofa and suite recovering and dining chair reupholstery for indicative pricing.
Commercial upholstery in Manchester
Commercial work is a major part of what we do in Manchester: pub and bar reupholstery, restaurant booths, hotel headboards, office furniture upholstery, film and TV set pieces and occasional healthcare seating for clinics and care settings. Contract jobs run to Crib 5 spec with certification supplied, phased around your trading hours or production schedule. See our commercial upholstery hub or pub seating and banquettes service for venue work.
Pub and hospitality seating across the city
Manchester’s bar and restaurant scene keeps us busy — fixed bench seating, banquettes, bar stools and tub chairs recovered in wipe-clean vinyl or Crib 5 contract fabric. We have refitted venues across Greater Manchester including full pub runs in Tameside and the city fringe. If you manage a venue, send photos and seat counts; we quote itemised the same day and can visit larger sites within a week.
Upholstery Manchester – collection and site visits
Upholstery Manchester customers across M postcodes get weekly collection when the route allows, or a workshop drop-off twenty-five minutes away in Stalybridge. Commercial Manchester jobs – pubs, offices, schools, clinics – usually start with a site visit within a week and an itemised Crib 5 quote inside three working days.

We collect across Manchester regularly — from Northern Quarter, Didsbury, Chorlton and across M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M14, M15, M16, M19, M20, M21.

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.”
