Experience / Quality Control

With high industry standards, it can take many years to become a professional upholsterer. When recruiting, Plumbs not only look for professionals who comply to these standards but they also look for shared values.

Plumbs operate a strict code of practice and certification scheme. There is also the reassurance of a solid 3 year guarantee.

All the upholsterers employed by Plumbs encapsulate a genuine passion for what they do, says one Plumbs upholsterer: “I served as an apprentice upholsterer for 8 years. I started when I was 16 and I’ve been in the business ever since. To have the feel and heart for the job is something that’s in you… it’s part of you”.

Another Plumbs upholsterer says: “You see something old and worn come in, you work on it with your hands and what goes out is a beautiful new piece of furniture. To top it all off, when you go to people’s houses to deliver their furniture back to them, they can’t believe the difference. They tell you ‘it’s a new chair, a new piece of furniture, a new suite’… that’s such a good feeling!”

The skill, workmanship and passion that a Plumbs upholsterer puts into reupholstering your treasured piece of furniture is next to none. Plumbs offers all the benefits of a well established national company, offering furniture repair and reupholstery services, combined with a personal level of service that can only be achieved on a local level.

Plumbs have over 150 Technical Designers, local craftsmen who specialise in traditional upholstery. These craftsmen ensure that local styles of workmanship are preserved and means Plumbs is ensuring that the traditional craftsmanship of upholstery stays alive!
