How long does reupholstery take?

Most domestic projects take two to four weeks from collection to delivery. Caravans usually run two to three weeks. Single dining chairs are often back within a week. We agree the timeline up front and stick to it.

Can I choose any fabric or leather?

You can choose from hundreds of fabrics and leathers in our Stalybridge showroom: Cristina Marrone, Rosemount Fabrics, Ross Fabrics, Sunbury Designs, Warwick, Wemyss, Agua, Futura Leathers, Crest Leather, Nene Valley Leathers and more. Prices run from about £15 per metre to around £120 per metre.

Can I supply my own fabric?

Yes. We're happy to use customer-supplied fabric. We'll calculate the exact metreage you need before you order (including pattern repeats) so you don't end up short. Note: we can't warrant fabric durability on covers we haven't supplied.

What guarantee do you offer?

Workmanship is guaranteed, with a two-year craftsmanship guarantee on production and contract work. Fabric durability is governed by the supplier's own rub-test rating; we'll explain that when you choose.

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes. Free, no-obligation quotes by phone, email, WhatsApp, in shop or, for larger jobs, on site. Unsure how it will look? Send photos of the piece, rough sizes, and the style or fabric you have in mind. We will send a written quote with example looks so you can decide with confidence. Looks are a guide (not a guarantee of exact fabric match); final finish is confirmed in the quote.

The detail

Questions people ask about headboard upholstery.

A headboard changes a room quickly, but the size and fixing matter. Too low and it disappears behind pillows; too tall or too wide and it can overpower the room or make fitting awkward.

We recover existing headboards and make new bespoke pieces: floor-standing, wall-hung, winged or buttoned, in single through to emperor sizes. A bespoke headboard runs around two weeks from order. For a full feature wall behind the bed, see upholstered wall panelling. Plain panels are the most economical, while deep-buttoned, bordered or channelled finishes need more labour and can use more fabric. We explain that before you buy material.

If you are matching wallpaper, a bed base or existing furnishings, bring a sample or photo into the showroom. We can help you choose something that works with the room and is practical enough for regular use.

Hotels, guest houses and rental properties can also be quoted as repeat pieces, with fabric and fixing agreed up front so every room is consistent.
