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.

Based near Stockbridge, Ryan Oliver Upholstery provides a reliable and personalised upholstery service for local homeowners and businesses. We restore sofas, armchairs, headboards, and dining furniture, and create bespoke pieces for residential and professional spaces.

Services include reupholstery, frame and spring repairs, webbing replacement, cushion refilling, and expert fabric advice. Our Stockbridge clients value our blend of traditional techniques and modern materials, allowing us to bring new life to everything from vintage chairs to contemporary office seating.

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.

Deciding whether to reupholster depends on a combination of factors including craftsmanship, materials, and personal value. If your furniture has a strong frame, unique style, or holds sentimental significance, restoration can be an excellent alternative to buying new. We offer honest advice and professional assessments to help our Stockbridge clients determine whether a piece is suitable for reupholstery.

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.

Located just a short distance from Stockbridge, we offer local customers a dependable collection and delivery service to support our full upholstery process. Whether you need a single chair restored or a large furniture set refreshed, we’ll handle transport to and from our workshop with great care.
