Your Project
Sessions are booked in 2 hour slots to allow for comfort/rest (tea) breaks.
The Upholstery Clinic is for interior enthusiasts and novice upholsterers, who enjoy having a go at projects in their home, but are not sure where to start.
Below is a list of example projects that our Professionals can guide and advise you through. We’ve also listed the tools and materials you will need to complete the job (please be advised this is guidance – each job is different and sometimes more work is needed once the piece has been stripped back).
If you have any big chairs or would like to learn more in-depth traditional or modern upholstery, please take a look at our courses page for professionals or courses near you.
We always recommend that you book an initial consultation online with our professionals, so that you do not waste any time and your expectations can be met. We will always give honest advice and signpost you to other services if we are not able to help you ourselves.
Happy restoring!
