Upholsterer in Fitzrovia
Our workshop is on Tottenham Court Road, right in the middle of Fitzrovia. If you live or work in W1, your furniture does not have far to travel.
Fitzrovia's Workshop
Kennington Upholstery operates from 304 Tottenham Court Road, WC1E 6HP. That puts us within walking distance of most addresses in Fitzrovia. Charlotte Street, Goodge Street, Cleveland Street, Fitzroy Square, and everything in between. For smaller items like dining chairs or footstools, plenty of our Fitzrovia customers carry them straight to the workshop. For sofas and armchairs, we collect from your door and deliver back when the work is done.
We have been in this location for years, and a good portion of our regular customers are Fitzrovia locals. The neighbourhood has a mix of Georgian townhouses, mansion flats, and newer developments. Each type throws up different furniture. Period properties tend to have older pieces worth restoring. Newer flats often have modern sofas that need recovering after a few years of hard use. We handle both.
Domestic Reupholstery
Most of our Fitzrovia work is domestic reupholstery. A typical job: a two-seater sofa in a Fitzroy Square flat, bought well fifteen years ago, frame still solid, but the fabric is worn through on the arms and the seat cushions have gone flat. We strip it back to the frame, check every joint, replace the webbing and springs if needed, fit new foam or traditional padding, and cover it in your choice of fabric from our library of over 12,000 options.
The result is a piece that feels new but keeps the proportions and comfort you originally paid for. It costs less than buying equivalent quality new, and you are not sending a perfectly good frame to landfill. That matters to a lot of our customers.
We also build bespoke headboards to measure, replace sofa cushions, and carry out smaller repairs like regluing loose joints or patching worn areas.
Commercial Upholstery in Fitzrovia
Fitzrovia is packed with restaurants, cafes, media offices, and private members' clubs. Commercial seating takes punishment that domestic furniture never sees. Banquette seating in a busy restaurant might need recovering every three to five years. Waiting room chairs in a clinic get sat on hundreds of times a week. Office furniture in a production company wears differently to a quiet residential sitting room.
We do a lot of commercial contract work for Fitzrovia businesses. The advantage of having the workshop around the corner is scheduling. We can collect on a Sunday evening, work on the pieces during the week, and have them back before the following weekend. For phased projects where you cannot lose all your seating at once, proximity makes the logistics simple.
We use commercial-grade fabrics rated for heavy use: high rub counts, fire-retardant treatments to contract standard, and easy-clean finishes where needed. We will advise on the right spec for your situation so you are not replacing covers again in twelve months.
304 Five-Star Reviews
Our reputation has been built one job at a time. With 304 five-star Google reviews, we are one of the highest-rated upholsterers in London. That record comes from doing honest work: telling people what their furniture actually needs, quoting fairly, delivering on time, and not cutting corners on materials or technique.
Every reupholstery job starts with a full strip-down. We do not staple new fabric over old padding and call it done. If the springs need retying, they get retied. If joints are loose, they get reglued and clamped. You are paying for work that will last another decade or more, and that is what you get.
Getting Started
The simplest way to start is to send us photos of your furniture through our quote form. Include a few shots from different angles and mention what you want done. We will come back to you with a price, usually within 24 hours. If you would rather talk it through in person, visit the workshop on Tottenham Court Road. We are also happy to look at our Central London coverage area if you are nearby but outside Fitzrovia proper.
