This is a proper old-school company. Great customer service, quick turnaround, fantastic quality work and Alan is a lovely gentleman who ticks every box. Nothing is too much trouble and he takes the time to make sure you are getting the right service. If I could give 10 stars, I would :) Unfortunately, my wife was so happy, she's checking to see what else she can get him to cover...

Had the foam in two seat cushions of a leather settee replaced recently. The job was done brilliantly and very quickly. This experience has led to a high recommendation.

I have known Alan Bird for a long time, he has recovered my 4 piece sofa twice now, I love the suit and changed my colour scheme. Quality fabric choices and expert craftsmen.
