Designer-Friendly Details
We can work from mood boards, site photographs, measured drawings or an existing piece. If a fabric has already been specified, we advise on suitability, direction, repeat, rub count and fire treatment before cutting begins.
For COM and COL projects, we confirm required meterage, check goods on arrival and flag visible defects before upholstery work starts. For hospitality or contract work, we advise where barrier cloth, FR foam or Crib 5 documentation is required.
How Trade Projects Run
01
Brief
Send drawings, dimensions, site photos or furniture images. We confirm what is possible, flag practical risks and advise on fabric suitability.
02
Quote
We price labour, materials, collection, delivery and any fire-compliance requirements before work starts.
03
Workshop
Pieces are stripped, repaired, padded and upholstered in our Central London workshop by our own upholsterers.
04
Install
Finished work is checked, protected for transport and returned to site with documentation where required.
Residential and Commercial Work
Residential projects often need a sympathetic approach to inherited pieces, antiques and family furniture. Commercial projects need robust materials, repeatable construction and clean scheduling. We handle both, and we keep the workshop conversation practical so your client receives a finished piece that works in the room, not only in a specification.
If you need a partner for upholstered headboards, banquettes, dining chairs, lounge chairs, footstools or furniture restoration, send the brief and we will come back with the questions that need answering before a reliable quote can be issued.
