Hello, I’m Gareth. I’ve been an upholsterer since leaving school, mending torn leather, collapsed seats and broken frames for 42 years, usually right there in your living room.
Whatever’s gone wrong, it can usually be put right
From a split seam to a full chair re-cover, every job gets the same care. If you’re not sure whether something can be fixed, just ask.
Sofas & chairs re-filled
Flat, tired cushions brought back to life with new fillings, so your seats look and feel plump again.
Collapsed seats & springs
Sagging seats re-sprung and re-supported, so you stop sinking into the sofa.
Frame repairs
Broken rails and loose joints repaired properly, so the whole piece is solid again.
Damaged leather replaced
Torn, cracked or worn-through leather panels cut out and replaced with new leather matched to the rest of the piece.
Loose stitching & burst seams
Seams re-stitched neatly, before a small split turns into a big one.
Recliner repairs
Manual and electric recliners repaired, from the mechanism to the upholstery.
Chair re-upholstery
Armchairs and dining chairs fully re-covered in a fabric of your choice. (Full re-covers are for chairs only, not three-piece suites.)
Meet Gareth
A craftsman who cares about the details
I live in Tottington with my wife and three lovely grown-up kids. From leaving school I trained as an upholsterer, and upholstery repair has become both my vocation and my hobby. I have a real passion for furniture, textiles and leather.
It gives me an enormous amount of satisfaction restoring upholstery and seeing the end result. I’m meticulous, and I try to make everything I work on as perfect as I possibly can.

Brilliant service from Gareth. A really lovely, genuine guy who cares about what he does. Our leather recliner was looking sad and saggy. It’s like a new chair. He gave me a quote from photos, turned up on time and was polite and courteous. Would recommend to anyone. …

Contacted Gareth to look at 2 recliners that had stopped working. He came out and assessed them and diagnosed the issue straight away that they needed new switches. He sourced the switches and adapters and both now working again. So happy with the price and service and he is a thoroughly lovely chap x highly recommend thanks Gareth
