Not sure what your piece needs? We will tell you plainly.
From frame to finish.
A new cover on a tired frame will not last. Every piece is looked at in layers, from what you see down to what holds it up.
What you see
- CoverThe fabric you see every day. We talk you through options that suit the room and the wear.
- Wadding & calicoThe soft layer under the cover that keeps the shape smooth and the lines clean.
- Padding & foamReplaced or rebuilt where it has flattened, so the seat sits right again.
- Springs & webbingChecked, tightened or replaced so the piece is comfortable, not just newly covered.
- FrameInspected first. Loose joints and weak rails are repaired before anything is covered.
What holds it up
Handed down from father to son.
RIMY Upholstery is a family business, and the trade came to us the old-school way: passed down from father to son. So did the standards that go with it.
Most of the furniture we see has a story. A grandmother's armchair, a father's lounge suite, a dining set that has seen every family birthday. These pieces are worth more to you than their price tag, and we treat them that way.
A new sofa cannot replace the one your family grew up on.
RIMY UpholsteryQuality
We check the frame, springs and padding before we quote, then tell you plainly what the piece needs. A new cover on a tired frame will not last, so we do the whole job properly.
