James Backhouse Upholstery : : fine quality upholstery

Worn out? Give your favourite furniture a new lease of life...

Re-covering, re-upholstery and renovation of your furniture, heirlooms and antiques is easier than you may think. James Backhouse is a highly-skilled craftsman upholsterer who takes pride in his workmanship on your furniture. Many furniture pieces are of sentimental value, as well as financially valuable, and now you can give it a new lease of life and a whole new look. It's easy and convenient too, as all your furniture is picked up and then delivered back to you - looking better than ever!

Skilled and careful craftsmanship

You can expect a very thorough job from JBU: once the furniture is stripped down, we'll look at the springs and framework and arrange the repairs. And when it comes to re-covering the furniture, the fabric is carefully pattern-matched to ensure that it all lines up properly.

James Backhouse has been working as an upholsterer for nearly 30 years. For 11 years James had his own business in London, where most of his very-discerning clients were located in the West End and City, as well as Country Houses, Mansions and Manors.

Working on antiques and heirlooms is James' speciality, as he is skilled in techniques which few other upholsterers are able to offer. This includes sunray pleating, as well as traditional and modern upholstery techniques. His attention to detail, pride in his work and perfectionism means that your cherished pieces will look better than new.

How does the upholstery process work?

Getting your favourite furniture re-upholstered is easy and convenient:

	1.	We'll arrange a suitable time to visit you at home to look at the furniture and to get a feel of what you want.
	2.	You'll then receive a written estimate for the work for approval.
	3.	You can choose a new fabric either by yourself, or with the consultation of your interior designer.
	4.	We'll arrange the furniture to be picked up from your home.
	5.	JBU will then purchase the fabric on your behalf, to make sure that the quantity is correct.
	6.	The upholstery work begins - and if we spot any problems, such as broken springs, now's a good time to get that fixed too. JBU can organise it all on your behalf, as we have trusted and reliable suppliers who will do this work to meet your high standards.
Give your favourite furniture a new lease of life with James Backhouse Upholstery.	7.	When the furniture is ready, JBU will deliver it back to your home.

What our customers are saying about JBU...

"restored a much-loved chair to better than new"

“Thank you so much for the wonderful reupholster of my armchair. It was so worn, squeaky and water damaged that I thought it was time to let it go, but you have managed to restore a much-loved chair to better than new.

The chair was the only remaining piece of furniture from the early years of my marriage, and now I not only appreciate a sense of continuity, but also enjoy the transformation that makes the chair fit with a more up-to-date decor.”

- Amanda Moore, Whangaparaoa November 2008
