Comprehensive Upholstery Repairs in the South East Counties: London, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and More
Whether you would like us to restore a prized antique or a modern piece of furniture with upholstery that has seen better days, our team of experts will ensure the end result exceeds your expectations. However before we can get started, you will need to decide which type of upholstery you would like us to use. For valuable antiques, we generally recommend matching the existing upholstery if possible but this is, of course, your choice to make. If you would like us to use a different type or colour or material, we will be more than happy to do so. For modern pieces of furniture, such as sofas and armchairs, we have a huge range of fabrics from which to choose. Whenever we reupholster a sofa in London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire & Buckinghamshire, we always help our customers to choose the perfect upholstery for their needs and personal preferences.

“We used Kendal's to have two antique chairs reupholstered. Terry was our main contact, and the service we received was fantastic from start to finish. Speedy responses, always polite. Terry advised on some extra repairs that would be beneficial but was never pushy. The chairs when they were returned were finished to a high standard, and we were very happy with the result. We would recommend Kendal's, and will use them again in the future should we have need.”
