Our Commercial Upholstery Process
We make reupholstering your furniture easy, stress-free, and completely tailored to your needs. Here’s how the process works from start to finish:
Get in Touch
Start by reaching out to us via phone, email, or through our website. Tell us a little about your business and the piece you’d like upholstered, what kind of look or fabric you have in mind and what purpose the furniture serves.
Free Call-Out & Quotation
We will arrange a convenient time for a free call-out to your business premises to assess your furniture in person by our MD, James. This allows us to discuss your ideas, show fabric samples and provide you with a no-obligation quote.
Furniture Collection
Once you are happy to go ahead, we’ll organise the pick-up of your furniture at a time that suits you and work with you to avoid any disruption to your business. Our team will handle everything with care and professionalism.
Expert Commercial Upholstery Work
Your furniture is then brought to our workshop, where our skilled upholsterers get to work. From frame repairs and padding to new fabric and finishing touches, we will restore and transform your piece with precision and attention to detail.
Delivery Back to You
When your furniture is ready, we will arrange a prompt return delivery right to your business premises. Your restored pieces will return refreshed, professional and ready for everyday use.

“What a fantastic company. Found them by chance when looking for an upholsterer. Very knowledgable, loads of good advise & materials to pick from to.

Rebecca Duff
“Delighted with the workmanship, had an old ( smokers chair as it was called years ago) which was nearly dumped a few times, so glad we never. Nu -rest transformed it and it looks amazing. Now takes pride of place in lounge. Lovely people to deal with, would highly recommend”
Linda Brown
“Excellent company to do business with. Quality workmanship. Excellent customer service and quick delivery. 6 Dining Chairs recovered and now look as good – or even better than – as new. Would definitely recommend this company.”
Joan Buchanan
“Such a professional company with superb customer service!
I was a bit sceptical about having our cuddle chair recovered as I find that when most soft furnishings are redone it is very obvious. However our chair has been returned (ahead of schedule) looking better than when it went! The finish and attention to detail is excellent. I would highly recommend Nu-Rest to anyone looking for a quality upholsterer.”
