Areas We Cover.

We are often asked about the areas we cover for furniture collection. In general, we provide a national service, but our collections are primarily in Darlington, North Yorkshire, and up to Newcastle. However, we have also had customers ship furniture to us from Portugal, Ireland, and France, so location isn’t a problem as long as you can get the furniture to us. We offer free, expert advice on reupholstery and restoration jobs, and we can guide you on how to ship your furniture to us. It’s simpler than you might think. Feel free to contact Jo Griffiths at BJ Upholstery to discuss your requirements.

Leather Wing Chair

Originally upholstered in a wool fabric we reupholstered this stylish chair for our customer in a high-grade leather. This leather wing chair looks stunning.

Knoll Sofa

A nice example of a modern knole style sofa in Linwood Omega velvet print. The black sofa is already in place. We added new large scatter cushions in the Omega print to complement the newly upholstered sofa.

When your living room looks like this, would you ever go out?

Information: The original Knole Settee (also known as the Knole Sofa) is a couch chair that was made in the 17th century, probably around 1640. It is housed at ‘Knole’ in Kent, a house owned by the Sackville-West family since 1605 but now in the care of the National Trust.

Parker Knoll Chair

Parker Knoll Retirement Chair Tartan Moon Wool fabric.

I recall them been old chairs back in the early days – here we are still restoring and reupholstering Parker Knoll.

A 75-year-old Parker Knoll Chair | Awarded as a Retirement Chair at some time for services on the railways. Covered in a lovely Wool Tartan Moon Fabrics. We have reupholstered Parker Knoll chairs and sofas throughout our 30-year history. Note the red pins near the feet – it’s all about the detail.

Designer Chair and Sofa

A fairly traditional looking chair but of good quality. Our customer selected a Linwood velour print fabric. The look of the chair is now something really special, a designer style chair and totally unique that will look stunning in any setting alone or with its matching sofa.

Reupholster and Restoration – Detail of the quality of work

Here are two occasional chairs we restored and reupholstered.

I’ve added nice close-up photographs to show the detailed quality of our work.

I am often asked ‘what will it look like when it comes back’. Our reupholstery service is not a second option to buying new. When we restore a chair or sofa etc we re-manufacture to the highest standard. In some cases actually better than the original mass produced furniture or as close as we can when restoring ancient and antique furniture. For example, we will use tacks and horse hair to match ancient reupholstery work.

Historic Chair

A Historic chair with a story. Originally a retirement gift to an Oxford Professor in 1930s and discovered by our customer in a cottage attic in Leyburn, North Yorkshire.

Our customer provided the in-keeping fabric and it looks rather amazing.

If only it could talk 🙂

Restored and reupholstered footstool

Footstools are really popular at the moment, can be used as a coffee table, magazine and book table, seat and indeed as a ‘footstool’.

Reupholstery Services in North East England and North Yorkshire

Are you considering reupholstering a chair or sofa, restoring a valuable antique, or reinventing a historic piece?

Older furniture often boasts far superior frame quality and structure compared to most modern pieces. When professionally restored and upholstered, an older chair or sofa not only outlasts its contemporary counterparts but also offers a unique charm, retains its value, and often provides more generous proportions for added comfort.

At BJ Upholstery, we bring your furniture back to life with expert craftsmanship.
