Should I reupholster my furniture or buy new furniture?

If you have a quality piece of furniture that has a longer life to live, then it is absolutely worth reupholstering. New foam and fabric can make an old piece of furniture look brand-new. Many furniture stores in Randburg sell affordable pieces of furniture that you could buy instead of choosing to reupholster existing furniture. However, these pieces of furniture usually have flimsy frames and the entire piece will need to be replaced in a few years. On the other hand, old furniture will probably have a solid frame that the upholsterers will be able to work with. Your old furniture will have a completely new look and feel.

Can I provide my own material for upholsterers to use?

Yes, most upholsterers in Randburg allow customers to provide their own foam and fabric. Sometime customers will find a fabric that they really want to use before the upholsterer has sourced anything. However, you cannot expect the upholsterers in Randburg to take responsibly for the quality of the fabric. You should consider asking them if you think the fabric will work well.

Can upholsterers come to my house?

Yes, most upholsterers in Randburg can come to your house upon request. However, they will have to evaluate whether the job can be done on-site or not. Generally, they will arrange their own vehicle to transport the furniture if needs be.

How is the cost of reupholstering furniture calculated?

The cost of reupholstering furniture depends on the price of foam, fabric, springs, thread, buttons, etc. In addition, the upholsterers have to consider the cost of working on the wooden parts of the piece. Tasks such as re-gluing, staining and cleaning the wood adds to the cost. In addition, there could be a tax or labour fee. Ultimately, all this information should be included in your quote. This will help you decide whether it’s worth it to reupholster the piece of furniture or save up for something new.

How does the upholstery process work?

Firstly, the customer will decide if they want to bring the piece to the upholsterer or have them pick it up in Randburg. Afterwards, they will provide the customer with an estimated cost for labour and an estimated price for the fabric that is needed for the job. From this point, the customer can decide if they want to use their own fabric or make use of the fabric offered by the upholsterer. Once everything has been confirmed, the old fabric and foam is stripped from the piece of furniture. From this point, the appropriate foam type and fabric is used for reupholstering. The wood frames are re-glued and the springs are re-tied.

Rhandzu

I loved her service and cost effect. She made my living look amazing that I have recommended her to my family and friends.

Roshen

I am extremely pleased with the services provided by Hedley's Interiors. They recently reupholstered my dining chairs with beautiful genuine leather and re-varnished my imbuia table, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their team demonstrated exceptional skill and attention to detail, and the quality of their work is outstanding. They also designed a shoe rack, which they delivered on time. Throughout the process, the staff at Hedley's Interiors were friendly, professional, and responsive to my needs. Their expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction are evident in every aspect of their work. I highly recommend Hedley's Interiors for any interior design or furniture restoration needs. Thank you, Hedley's Interiors, for a job well done!

Memory

Upholstery Masters have done entirely all décor in my house from furniture to curtains. They do quality products and my house was a complete renewal. Indeed they give a touch of renewal and I don't hesitate to recommend them. Well done Upholstery Masters.

Paul

We have been badly let down by builders in the past, and a poorly executed kitchen job resulted in a granite worktop and the cabinet below needing to be replaced. We contacted Whatmore on Wednesday, and were a little anxious given our past experiences with builders. But by that Friday he had not only replaced the granite with a well-matched piece and fixed the cabinet, but also fixed a drawer that he saw was not working. Whatmore and his team simply got on with the job and did it brilliantly, we were delighted! We will definitely use them again for other building work when the need arises, and recommend them highly to everyone else.
