The Chair & Sofa

The Chair and Sofa Company is a family-run business, specialising in re-upholstery, chair and sofa restoration and made-to-measure furniture. You will like our friendly, personal, reliable and hassle-free service. As a young man, Darrell studied both traditional and modern upholstery techniques at High Wycombe College. He began his career at his father's large furniture and upholstery company in Reading - developing skills and building knowledge of all aspects of the business - and then went to set up the company's re-upholstery division in Birmingham.

We usually carry out some repair work to furniture that is being re-upholstered. We mend or replace worn or broken webbing, springs, padding and buttons - and fit new foam, feather or fibre cushions. All of this prolongs the life of your chair or sofa, and makes it more comfortable to sit on. We can also restore wooden furniture that looks worn and shabby because of all the grime and scratches it has accumulated over the years. We strip the wood down and re-polish it with one of our specialist finishes, bringing out its natural beauty and making it look like new.

Maybe you have inherited an antique sofa that has seen better days? Or maybe you have redecorated a room and the furniture no longer matches? Re-upholstery makes your chair or sofa look and feel like new. We remove the old covers, do any necessary repairs and then fit beautiful new covers in the fabric of your choice. Headboards can provide a focal point that adds style to any bedroom. Choosing and styling bedrooms can take time and thought which is why we provide free samples swatches so that you can be confident of the quality of our fabrics.
