Professional Furniture Repair & Restoration in Bristol

It depends on the age, style, size and condition of your furniture. If the basic structure (the frame) is intact and minimal repairs are needed, this is a good start. Generally speaking, furniture made before the 1960s were of much higher quality than furniture made in the mass-produced modern era and usually worth restoring as they have a rarity value to them. In terms of modern furniture, it is usually cheaper to buy brand new. However, you are usually restricted in fabric choice whereas if you are prepared to pay a little more (and supporting an independent business at the same time!), you can have literally any fabric you want.

As with other areas of life, the world of interiors is seeing a drive towards sustainable living and restoring what you already have. Reupholstering rather than replacing furniture definitely reduces waste. Also, the range of materials used for upholstery (fillings, etc) are becoming more environmentally friendly all the time. And a lot of fabric companies and independent fabric designers are developing manufacturing processes that use waste products such as plastic to make high quality upholstery fabrics. If environmentally friendly upholstery is of interest to you, we can advise you on the best approach.

This will depend on the size of the piece. However, as a general rule, once we have your piece in the workshop, we usually finish within three to four weeks. If we encounter any problems (for example, unforeseen frame repairs or a delay in obtaining upholstery supplies), we always keep our clients informed.

We are happy to discuss with you the type of furniture you are looking for and can sign-post you to relevant online (e.g. Vinterior) and bricks-and-mortar (e.g. auction houses) outlets.

Shipping fees are added to the list price of our furniture when a potential buyer requests a quote. We use a very reliable and competitively priced team of independent couriers who can deliver nationwide (UK mainland only). We aim to keep our shipping fees as low as possible.
