Services
Re-upholstery
We restore existing furniture by replacing springs, webbing, and foam to revive comfort and appearance. Our process preserves structural integrity while updating materials to meet modern standards. Clients benefit from extended furniture lifespan and cost-effective solutions compared to replacement, with options for custom fabric selections.
Bespoke Furniture
We create made-to-order upholstered furniture tailored to specific dimensions and style preferences. This includes sofas, chairs, and specialist pieces like bed settees. Clients receive handcrafted items that overcome access challenges and incorporate unique design elements such as custom wood finishes and ergonomic features.
Commercial Upholstery
We provide seating solutions for hospitality venues including bars, restaurants, and cinemas. Services include full refits, booth seating installations, and LED lighting integration. Our work minimises business disruption through off-site construction and scheduled installations, as demonstrated in projects for Whuppity Scourie Bar-Restaurant.
Marine Upholstery
We specialise in marine-grade upholstery using waterproof materials like Spradling vinyl and Crest JMT leather. Our solutions include reticulated foam for moisture resistance and bonded nylon threads for durability. Services cover repairs, re-upholstery, and complete interior builds for yachts and commercial vessels operating along Scotland's west coast.
Caravan Upholstery
We refurbish static caravans, touring vans, and holiday lodges with quick turnaround times. Our services include foam replacement, curtain installations, and custom seating solutions. We accommodate on-site work when removal isn't feasible, ensuring minimal disruption to holiday schedules while maintaining domestic comfort standards.
