Every single re-upholstery project is carried out with the utmost care and consideration. Most importantly, we try to be faithful to the original construction.

 

 

Furniture Reupholstery Services

 

We work on both traditionally upholstered furniture (coil springs, horse hair, stuff and stitch, sprung-front edges etc.) and contemporary, modern alternatives. From French polishing to wood-work and frame repairs, we each have a specialist set of skills.

 

Firstly, we will guide the customer through the process of deciding what fabric (colour/style etc.) to use and how to finish the piece. Furthermore, we can source or create almost any fabric from worldwide fabric suppliers and can therefore offer an extensive range. In summary, there is no limit to what we can do for you.

Jerome’s team took on a very challenging task of reupholstering an Ottoman for me with my own fabric. They took so much care, and there was such great attention to detail. I am so pleased with the end result, it is beyond my wildest expectation. I’m really grateful to him and his team for the love and time put into it and for their ongoing communication wrt the process. Would 100% use them again and recommend to anyone looking for a job well done. Thank you so much. This piece will be held onto forever.

Jerome and his team has just completed the recovering of eight large leather dining chairs and a full set of fabric outdoor furniture (chaise, sofas and 10 dining chairs). These had all been owned and used for many years and we had feared they would require replacing. Not so! Jerome collected sad looking furniture and delivered back what looks like brand new replacements. Our furniture has been given a new lease of life and we couldn’t recommend Jerome Shorter Furniture enough. Not only is the work first class but the service and communication was exceptional. Thank you Jerome.

I can only describe the reupholster job of my large 3 seater and two chaise lounges handled by Jerome and his team as top class! It was an excellent re-enacting of my original luxury furniture, looked exactly the same! Their care and precision is commendable...I highly recommend them.

We wanted to recycle some modern leather dining chairs rather than replace them but we couldn't find the right contact who we trusted to do what we needed - we found Jerome and he immediately understood what we wanted and gave us some great advice and ideas. We are now extremely pleased to have 8 re-covered chairs which look amazing and so much better quality and value than buying new! The quality of the work is superb and we can't recommend Jerome and his team highly enough. We will be using them time and again to recycle/refresh other items which we already love (sofas, chaise longue, etc).

I had three pieces(a sofa and two wing chairs) to re-upholster which had never been in the same room together before. Mr. Shorter took pictures of the pieces and the carpet they had to coordinate with and gave me some design ideas. This did not work. He recommended stores where I could obtain swatches of fabric. After numerous attempts on my own Mr Shorter came again to my apartment and selected fabrics I had not thought to combine. A perfect choice and I could not be happier with the result-a fresh, colourful, contemporary design for the entire room. Excellent reupholstering for old furniture. I highly recommend Mr. Shorter to anyone who wishes to add new life to one or more pieces.

How It Works

The first step is for you to get in touch with us, as we can’t do anything until you’ve made the first move! Once you’ve done this, we’ll arrange a meeting or call to discuss your specific needs. We will ask questions to establish exactly what it is you want. Sometimes this involves a home visit, so we can really see and picture where the furniture will live.

 

Once we’ve figured out what it is you need, we’ll get to work on the design. This is where we’ll bring you in on the process, too, and is why we take so much care to get to know you, and your furniture, as part of the first step. We will ensure that what we design and plan meets your needs, exactly, and our experienced designers will put the vision on paper, ready for the craftsmen to bring it to life.

reupholstery-near-me

After this, the most exciting stage begins. We’ll ask said craftsmen, all of whom are masters in this area of work, to start on the reupholstery project. From our workshops in Kent, they will work on your furniture with their own hands, ensuring attention is paid to every minor detail. Our view, as you may have guessed, is that these minor details add up to major details – so every one matters.

 

Once the work is done, we’ll then hand deliver to your home and spend time with you to make sure that you are happy with the final product.

 

 

Why Reupholster

There are many benefits to the modern world we now live in. However, we believe there is one drawback. The ‘throwaway’ society we are now part of means that so many old, historic and antique pieces of furniture are thrown in landfills every week.

 

This, in our view, is a travesty. Old furniture not only has character but has stories to tell, links with family and – in some cases – can be a piece of history itself. Rather than throwing away and buying new, reupholstering allows you to give old furniture a new lease of life for years to come, whilst still maintaining the history that makes it so special.

This isn’t the only reason you should reupholster, though. There are a number of practical and environmental reasons that we should all consider giving furniture a new lease of life. Not least to save money, in a world where the cost of living continues to rise. Having a piece reupholstered can be considerably cheaper than getting something brand new, so it makes complete sense.

 

It’s also more environmentally friendly to reupholster, too. Reduce, reuse and recycle. Reupholstering covers all of these three things and helps reduce the amount of furniture being thrown away into landfill sites and recycling centres. There really are benefits all round.

Jerome’s service is excellent. My company needed 3 items reupholstered and Jerome provided a quote with plenty of relevant fabric choices.
He collected each item individually and quickly returned each, keeping us up to date on the process.
Jerome’s customer service and punctual turn around of the items was great.
Well recommended.

John, Tunbridge Wells

We had four porter-style antique armchairs, a sofa and a chaise-longue extensively repaired and re-upholstered by Jerome. His work was meticulously professional, completed to a very high standard and delivered on time and to budget. His artistic judgement is thoughtful, helpful but never intrusive. This was a complicated and expensive job which he excelled in. We are already repeat customers.

Mr Paine, Horsmonden

Jerome’s work is amazing and he is a pleasure to do business with. I and my chair thank him!

Phoebe, Tunbridge Wells
