Furniture worth keeping
Still your favourite. Ready for a fresh start.
Perhaps your three-seater fits the room perfectly, or you love the shape of your suite but would like a different fabric. We can help you keep what you love and change what you don’t.
We’ll talk through the fabric, comfort and repairs together. A photograph is a useful place to start.

From a full suite to a favourite chair
Sofas, suites and armchairs are at the heart of our work. There is room for the smaller jobs too.
Seating made to fit your space
Dining chairs, headboards, window seats and caravan cushions. Practical upholstery for the places you use every day.
Cushions, comfort and repairs
Replace tired foam, renew padding or recover a cushion. We can also look at damaged springs and timber as part of the work.
Upholstery for your business
Seating for pubs, clubs, shops and other business premises, with advice on suitable materials and the work involved.
A chair’s next chapter
Before, during and ready to enjoy again
The finished fabric is only part of the story. These photographs follow the same chair through John’s workshop.
Before
A familiar chair, ready for attention.
During
Opened up to see what lies beneath the fabric.
After
A fresh covering, with its character preserved.
Workshop photographs, digitally enhanced for clarity and presentation.
Make it yours
A fabric that feels right at home.
You may already have a fabric in mind. If not, our fabric books are a good place to start, with a wide choice of colours, patterns and textures.
We also keep roll ends that may suit your project and can source fabric through our suppliers and local contacts.
Your own suitable upholstery fabric is welcome. Talk to us before buying and we can help estimate how much you’ll need.
Talk to us about fabric
Meet John
Experienced hands. A personal service.
John has been upholstering furniture since the mid-1980s. After retiring from the fire brigade in 2004, he made upholstery his main occupation.
When you get in touch with Moody’s Upholstery, you’ll speak with our family. We’ll listen to what you have in mind and help you work out the next step.
Many customers come back with another project, or with a favourite piece ready for a new covering years later.
Getting started
A conversation and a few photographs
Tell us what you have in mind
Call, text or email. Send photographs by email or WhatsApp and tell us what you’d like to change.
Talk through the options
John can often estimate fabric requirements and approximate labour costs from your photographs. We’ll discuss whether a visit is needed.
Plan the work together
We’ll discuss timing and arrangements. If opening up the furniture reveals repairs it needs, we’ll explain the additional work and cost.
Let’s talk about your furniture
What would you like to bring back to life?
A full suite, a favourite chair or a cushion that’s lost its comfort — we’d be happy to hear from you.
Include a photograph of the whole piece and a closer view of any damage. Let us know whether you already have fabric.
Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm · Visits and drop-offs by arrangement.
