Sofa Restoration - Re-cover Sofas in the Lake District town of Ulverston, Cumbria

Below are a selection of photographs showing some of the re-upholstery and sofa restoration work being carried out. There is a lovely double drop-end sofa that needed completely re-springing and re-seating before re-covering.

 

The sofa restoration photographs show some of the stages involved in this complex job.

After a layer of cotton felt and then polyester, calico is put on the seat before the fabric goes on. This holds the shape of the seat and helps make it easier to re-cover with fabric.

Fabric is skewered into place on the seat, waiting to be stitched. The drop arms have been covered and the inside back is ready to be stripped of old fabric ready for a polyester wrap and the new fabric.
