What Oldham sends us
Our job records include more than 30 jobs for customers in the OL1 to OL4, OL8 and OL9 districts. That covers Chadderton, Werneth, Hollinwood, Lees and the town centre, and it also takes in Royton, Shaw and the Saddleworth villages, which have pages of their own. Across those districts the pattern is steady: seat cushions, foam, sofas and footstools come up more than anything else.
That fits the town. Oldham grew as a cotton-spinning town, and a lot of its furniture lives in terraced front rooms and semis where one sofa takes daily use for years. The frame usually outlasts the seat. When the cushions have flattened but the covers are sound, new foam cut to size is the cheaper fix. 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.
Replacement cushions, footstools and armchairs
If the covers have worn through as well, we make replacement sofa cushions from scratch, copying the shape of the old ones, in fabric you choose at the workshop showroom. That is often the right answer for an Oldham suite with a good frame and a tired seat, because the arms, back and outside panels stay as they are.
Footstools are a regular part of our Oldham work. They take the same wear as the seat of a sofa, they fit on the back seat of a car, and recovering one to match a newly done suite pulls a room together. Armchairs sit in the same group: a wing chair or fireside chair that has been in the family for decades is usually worth more to its owner than anything in a showroom, and new foam with a new cover gives it another long run.
If you are weighing up a whole suite, our guide on whether it is worth reupholstering a sofa sets out what we check before we recommend it, and when we would tell you to replace instead.
Torn or faded leather
Leather gets its own section here because Oldham searches for leather work regularly land on this page. A torn seat panel, cracking on the arms or a faded headrest does not always mean a recover. Leather repair, re-dyeing and patch matching come under our repairs and restoration service, alongside broken frames, snapped springs and recliner mechanisms. Photos of the damage close up and of the whole piece are enough for us to tell you which route makes sense.
From Oldham to Grosvenor Street
The workshop is about eighteen minutes from Oldham town centre. Cushions, footstools and single chairs are easy to bring in yourself, and dropping them off costs nothing. For a suite or anything that will not fit in a car, collection and redelivery is around £75 + VAT both ways, confirmed in your written quote. Most domestic jobs take two to four weeks.
Send photos through the Oldham quote form, on WhatsApp or by phone on 0161 303 0769, and we usually come back with a written price the same working day.
Pub, restaurant and club seating in Oldham
Oldham is about eighteen minutes from the workshop, near enough for a free site visit before we give a final figure. For pubs and bars, pub seating and banquettes covers booths, bench runs and bar seating; a single banquette can be turned round overnight. Restaurants and cafes are on restaurant and cafe seating, and concert rooms and lounges on social and members’ clubs. We phase larger jobs around trading, use Crib 5 fabric and hand over the certificates with care instructions. See commercial upholstery for the full process.

“I absolutely love my newly reupholstered chesterfield sofa. It looks beautiful. Also 2 tub chairs. The standard and workmanship is extremely high. They were picked up from our home and returned much faster than I expected. Very happy and highly recommend.”

Local FAQs
Common questions from Oldham customers.
- Do you collect from Chadderton, Hollinwood and Lees, or only Oldham town centre?
- We collect from across the Oldham districts, including Chadderton, Werneth, Hollinwood and Lees. Oldham is outside our nearest band, so collection and redelivery is around £75 + VAT both ways, confirmed in your written quote before anything is booked. Bringing the piece to Grosvenor Street in Stalybridge yourself costs nothing.
- Can you just put new foam in my sofa cushions and keep the covers?
- Yes, if the covers are still sound. It is one of the most common jobs we see from Oldham. We cut new foam to the size of the old interiors and can add hollow-fibre or feather refills to thin back cushions. Bring the cushions in, or send photos with measurements, and we will recommend a grade.
- My leather suite has a tear. Does it need recovering?
- Not always. Tears, worn or faded areas and cracking can often be repaired, re-dyed or patch-matched at the workshop rather than recovered. Send a close photo of the damage and one of the whole piece, and we will tell you whether it is a repair, a re-dye or a full recover.
