What We Do


A guide to all the upholstery services that we offer.
Antique Restoration
Anglia Upholstery offers an extensive range of restoration services on all upholstery furnishings, including:
  • Re-Upholstering using traditional methods and materials. We use traditional materials such as Horse Hair, Feather and Down, Copper Coil Springs, Hessian and Scrim.
  • We can repair most wooden features, to a high standard by removing all the old glue ready for re-assembly and then prepare the wood, we also treat any woodworm, and repair any damage to the wood.
  • We can repair any damage to the joints and fixtures.
  • When repairing joints and fixtures we will replace any broken dowels and mortise/tenon joints.
  • Re-Polishing : When re-polishing, we can re-polish any colour or match a colour to any specification , and provide an excellent finish.
Modern Upholstery
We pride ourselves on our traditional upholstery, but we also specialise in modern upholstery as well.

We use only top quality fillings and all different grades of foam. We also use hollow fibre filling which we recommend for back cushions and scatters only.

All our seat cushions are covered in Dacron then Stockinet to make it easier to get in and out of the cases.

We can also strip any antique piece of furniture and reupholster using the fillings mentioned above and change feather cushions for top quality foam. This is a popular change as many people suffer from various allergies from horse hair, feathers and many antique fillings.

When it comes to upholstering seats on sofas and chairs we have all sorts of webbing or springs to suit all individual preferences (soft, firm, bouncy or springy) and all our fillings comply with the furniture and furnishing fire and safety regulations.

Onsite Upholstery
We offer an exclusive service here at Anglia Upholstery as we are able to provide an onsite upholstery service.

Due to our organised and skilled team, and the many years experience our upholsterers have, we are able to bring the workshop to you.

The onsite upholstery service allows your furniture to receive the attention it requires in your home environment.

This allows us to carry out work where others might not be able too, and also saves you having the trouble of transporting the items to us.

For all our onsite work we take our Bambi silent air compressor so as not to cause too much disturbance to the house or neighbours. We can also load our trestles and sewing machine in the van so we literally have a mobile workshop that we can take anywhere, allowing us to provide the excellent service and create the high quality finish you would expect.

We also offer arm caps and headrests designed to suit the finished look you require.

These loose covers can be cut onsite or here at our workshop.

Our loose covers are produced using matching/colour co-ordinated cottons, zips and velcro.

Also all our loose covers are over-locked as this increases the finished product's life (durability), and as over-locking produces a neat edge it is also aesthetically pleasing which aids to the quality finish we produce.
Cushion Refurbishment
A lot of people don’t realise that if you’re not sitting comfortably, or have your knees above your hips, it can lead to all sorts of joint and other medical problems later in life. We offer replacement sofa cushions for clients throughout Ipswich, Suffolk.
