The detail
Upholstery in Royton: the detail.
One district, three towns
Royton, Shaw and Crompton share the OL2 postcode, and we regularly get work from all three. The OL2 jobs in our records are more mixed than a plain run of sofas: headboards turn up as often as sofa cushions, with foam, dining chairs and the occasional sofa alongside them. A good share of it comes out of bedrooms and dining rooms rather than the front room, which is why this page leads with headboards and chairs.
Royton itself is a former cotton town north of Oldham, with Rochdale Road running through the centre past the town hall and Tandle Hill Country Park on the Middleton side. It is about twenty minutes from Grosvenor Street, a little further than Oldham town centre.
Headboards recovered or made to size
A headboard is one of the easiest pieces to get to us from Royton. Unbolted from the bed frame it often fits in a car, and a recover in new fabric changes a bedroom quickly. We recover existing headboards or make new boards to size, in plain, bordered, channelled or deep-buttoned finishes. The finish decides how much fabric you need, so we explain that before you buy anything, and you can see our fabric range from the mills we buy from at the workshop showroom before you choose.
Height matters as much as the cloth. Too low and a headboard disappears behind the pillows; too tall and it can overpower a smaller Royton bedroom. Send the bed size and the height you want above the mattress with your photos.
Dining chairs, cushions and foam
Dining chairs with drop-in seat pads are the other easy OL2 job, because the pads lift out and can come to us without the chairs. Single dining chairs are often back within a week; a full set takes longer, and the date goes in your written quote. Our guide on how to reupholster a dining chair shows what happens to a seat once it is on the bench, from stripping the old cover to the new foam and fabric.
For a sofa that has sunk, foam cut to size replaces the interiors without touching the covers. 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. If the covers are worn out too, we make replacement cushions to the shape of the old ones.
Getting a Royton piece to Stalybridge
Dropping a piece at the workshop yourself is free, and most of what comes from OL2 is small enough to carry: headboards, seat pads, cushions and single chairs. For a sofa or anything that will not fit in a car, collection and redelivery across Royton, Shaw and Crompton is around £75 + VAT both ways, confirmed in your quote before you book.
Send photos through the Royton quote form, on WhatsApp or by phone on 0161 303 0769, and we usually come back with a written price the same working day.

“Our two piece settee was in good condition and the exterior fabric was fine but the cushions needed re-filling and the arms of the suite needed fixing as they had sagged. I spoke to John about the specific issues and he helped me to make decisions about what was needed. We are thrilled with the results and the suite looks and feels brand new again! It was taken on Monday and we got it back Wednesday. John went above and beyond when additional things became apparent with the single chair. Great service and excellent value for money!”

Local FAQs
Common questions from Royton customers.
- Do you cover Shaw and Crompton as well as Royton?
- Yes. Royton, Shaw and Crompton all sit in OL2, and collection anywhere in the district is around £75 + VAT both ways, confirmed in your written quote before you book. If you can bring the piece to Grosvenor Street in Stalybridge yourself, dropping it off costs nothing.
- How do I get a headboard to you from Royton?
- Unbolt it from the bed and bring the headboard on its own; it often fits in a car. We recover existing boards or make new ones to size, plain, bordered, channelled or deep-buttoned. When you send photos, include the bed width and the height you want above the mattress, as those settle most of the quote.
- Can I bring just the seat pads from my dining chairs?
- If your chairs have drop-in seat pads, yes. The pads lift out of the frame and can come to the workshop on their own, which saves carrying the chairs. Single dining chairs are often back within a week, and the date for a full set is in your written quote.
