Ryan has completed two pieces of work for us and we are delighted with both. Ryan reupholstered an old, neglected chair and also made bespoke bench seating cushions for our kitchen. His work is beautiful and he is clear a fair in his pricing. I’d recommend him to anyone.

Just got back our 10 year old dining chairs. They now look like new. We're very pleased with the finished product. Ryan's wasn't the cheapest option, nor was he the most expensive, but he could prove to be the best. We're great believers that in life. You get what you pay for, and we're very happy. We just need to see how well the material wares.

From the moment I contacted Ryan for a quote to reupholster a rocking chair, I was impressed by the speed of his response and the professional manner in which he has communicated with me throughout the entire upholstery project. I am aware that it has been a challenging job for Ryan, stripping down awful dark lacquer wood frame applied many years ago by my father. My chair has been delivered back to me today, I am just delighted with the final result. Thank you Ryan, I will certainly be recommending you to anyone with a challenging furniture project.

Ryan Oliver Upholstery works with residential and commercial clients across Greater London, providing tailored upholstery and furniture repair services suited to the capital’s wide range of styles and settings. From compact urban seating to antique centrepieces and custom office furniture, our work is built to meet both aesthetic and functional needs.

We offer expert reupholstery, frame repairs, spring and webbing replacement, cushion refills, and bespoke fabric sourcing. Whether restoring a one-of-a-kind vintage piece or refurbishing an entire suite of commercial seating, our London clients benefit from craftsmanship, precision, and a strong attention to detail.

Reupholstery is often a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to buying new furniture. Well-made furniture, especially older pieces with solid wood frames, is usually superior in build quality compared to many modern mass-produced items. Choosing to reupholster means you can preserve a piece that fits your home perfectly, holds sentimental value, or matches a unique space. Additionally, reupholstery allows for full customisation of fabric, colour, texture, and cushioning to suit your décor and personal style. It’s also environmentally friendly, reducing landfill waste and the need for new raw materials.

In London, where space and design continuity often matter, reupholstery is a practical way to preserve well-fitted or heritage furniture. If your piece has a sturdy frame, high-quality build, or holds sentimental value, reupholstering can extend its life while giving it a completely refreshed look. We’re available to advise London clients on whether reupholstery is the right investment, offering honest guidance based on the condition, style, and significance of your furniture.

Yes, many clients prefer to supply their own fabric, either for aesthetic reasons or to match existing décor. However, it’s important to ensure that the fabric is suitable for upholstery purposes. Upholstery fabrics must meet durability standards and, for furniture used in domestic settings post-1950, must comply with UK fire safety regulations. We can advise on the suitability of your chosen fabric and guide you on quantities required for your specific piece. Alternatively, we stock a wide range of upholstery fabrics, including fire-retardant options, in various colours, textures, and patterns.

The timescale for an upholstery project varies depending on the size and complexity of the piece, fabric availability, and our current schedule. Standard projects, such as single chairs or dining seats, might be completed within one to two weeks, while more complex projects involving large sofas, extensive repairs, or bespoke commissions can take several weeks. At Ryan Oliver Upholstery, we always aim to complete projects promptly while maintaining our high standards of craftsmanship. We’ll discuss estimated timelines with you during your initial consultation so you can plan accordingly.

Serving clients across Greater London, we offer a convenient collection and delivery option that saves you time and effort. Your furniture is collected directly from your premises, transported to our Hampshire-based workshop, and returned fully restored without hassle.

We provide transparent pricing for this service based on location and item volume. Each piece is carefully packed and handled throughout the journey, giving you peace of mind that your reupholstered items will arrive safely and beautifully finished.

Yes, in London’s fast-paced commercial environment, we deliver contract upholstery that combines aesthetics, safety, and function. Our services cover everything from custom booths and reception seating to headboards and feature panels for hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, and office environments.

We understand the importance of compliance, quality, and visual impact all while keeping disruption to a minimum. We can assist with fabric selection, layout planning, and scheduling during quieter hours, so your London business gets the professional finish it needs with minimal interruption.
