    FAQ Section

    • 1. Is it cheaper to reupholster furniture or buy new?

      In many cases, reupholstering is more cost-effective, especially for well-built or sentimental pieces. While buying new may seem easier, quality sofas today can be expensive and often lack the craftsmanship of older furniture. With furniture reupholstery Cheltenham services like ours, you get a bespoke finish and extended lifespan at a better value.

    • 2. How long does sofa upholstery last?

      With proper care and high-quality materials, new upholstery can last between 7 to 15 years, sometimes longer. Factors like daily use, fabric durability, and structural integrity all play a role. At Westcote Design, we use premium materials to ensure our sofa reupholstery Cheltenham clients enjoy lasting comfort and style.

    • 3. What is the difference between upholstery and reupholstery?

      Upholstery refers to the initial process of fitting a frame with fabric, padding, and springs, typically for new furniture. Reupholstery involves removing old materials and restoring or enhancing the original structure. Our furniture repair & furniture upholstery service in Cheltenham covers both, depending on your needs.

    • 4. What is the best fabric for upholstered furniture?

      The best fabric depends on how you use the furniture. For high-traffic areas, consider durable materials like polyester blends, leather, or tightly woven cotton. For elegance, velvet or linen adds luxury. We offer a wide range of upholstery fabrics in our Cheltenham upholstery studio and can help match your lifestyle and taste.

    • 5. What is the best way to check the quality of upholstered furniture?

      To assess quality, start with the frame; solid hardwood is best for durability. Examine the spring system; eight-way hand-tied springs indicate expert craftsmanship. Inspect stitching for neatness and strength, and check fabric tightness and foam density. Sagging cushions or loose fabric are red flags. At Westcote Design, we offer professional evaluations as part of our furniture restoration service, ensuring your piece is worth restoring and meets your expectations for both comfort and long-term value.

    • 6. How to choose a professional upholstery service?

      Start by looking for experience, client reviews, and examples of past work. Ask whether they handle structural repairs and offer in-person fabric consultations. A quality provider should guide you through fabric durability, design fit, and restoration options.
      At Westcote Design, we specialise in furniture repair in Cheltenham, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern solutions and offering tailored advice that aligns with your needs, budget, and décor preferences. We welcome visits to our studio for a personal, hands-on experience.

    • 7. How do you estimate upholstery?

      Upholstery quotes are tailored to each item. We consider the size and shape of the furniture, the intricacy of design, fabric selection, and the condition of internal components like springs and frames.
      For example, a classic wingback chair may cost less than a full sofa reupholstery Cheltenham project due to material quantity and labour. At Westcote Design, we offer transparent, no-obligation estimates after inspecting your piece, ensuring you get an accurate cost breakdown and clear expectations.

    • 8. Can you reupholster over old upholstery?

      While it’s technically possible, we don’t recommend it. Old fabric can hide damage or sagging foam and may reduce the new fabric’s lifespan. Our furniture restoration and repairs in Cheltenham always include removing the old layers, inspecting the frame and padding, and delivering a refreshed, high-quality result.

    • 9. What is the main purpose of upholstery?

      Upholstery serves both function and aesthetics. It provides comfort through padding and support, and it enhances visual appeal with fabric, style, and detailing. Whether you’re buying new or seeking furniture restorations, professional upholstery can dramatically improve both comfort and décor.

    • 10. Can I check material samples before placing a reupholstery order?

      Absolutely. We offer a wide selection of sample books in various colours, textures, and finishes at our Cheltenham upholstery studio. You’re welcome to view them in person, and we’ll help you select materials that match your needs for durability, design, and budget before we start your reupholstery project.
