Margate Bespoke Upholstery Service

 

There’s a lot to be said for flat-pack furniture and cheap sofas. They arrive quickly and often don’t break the bank. But here’s the thing – they lack character. That’s our view, anyway. Here at Jerome Shorter, we place a huge value on unique, bespoke furniture that has been handcrafted by people completely dedicated to good quality furniture.

 

We are proud to have been providing a bespoke upholstery service to people in Margate and the surrounding areas for many years. Our staff are classically trained and dedicated to providing you, our valuable clients, with the best possible service and best quality furniture.

 

Over a period of many years, we have built a reputation for not only creating upholstered furniture that exactly meets your needs and suits your style, but that is also extremely durable and hard-wearing.

Working with Us

 

So now you know who we are, where we work and what we stand for, it’s time to explain how we operate. Our development process has been fine-tuned over several decades, which we hope gives you confidence that you will only get the best possible service from us. Indeed, there is no substitute for experience, and our staff have that in abundance.

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).

Having had two chairs re-rushed and one chair re-upholstered, we have no hesitation in recommending Jerome Shorter for both quality of workmanship and for excellent service.

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.

But here’s the thing – quality takes time and a job like this should never be rushed. Act now and we’ll be knocking on your door before you know it.

Bespoke Upholstery

Traditional Re-upholstery

Our Collection

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!
