Local upholstery service South Wales

[afficionado]

Hi you helpful folks - is there anybody who can recommend a good local upholstery service, please?
I live in South Wales and need to have all the cushions in my yacht re-upholstered (27 foot sailing yacht, traditional layout). I am hoping to keep the original foam cushions.
Thank you for any help and thoughts you can offer.

Sarah Maddison based in South Glos did these. Can forward a number if interested.

There's Cleddau Marine Upholstery based at East Llanion Boat yard. Possibly a bit closer for you than Gloucestershire. I haven't needed them myself, but I think they have a good reputation.

Many thanks. That is indeed nearer and easier for me to get to. Thank you, WoodyP, for the helpful tip.

I would see if there's a furniture upholsterer in a town close to you.

Especially if you are reusing the foam there's no special skills required that a furniture upholsterer doesn't have .

Thank you. I will contact one and make a comparison with a marine upholsterer. I have been warned by others that anything with 'marine' in the name raises the cost substantially, so this might turn out to be very valuable advice indeed

There was an upholsterer in Holton Rd Barry but he was getting on a bit when I last used him for a boat mattress so may be retired.I will have a look in the next day or two.

The firm is still there and have a website if you Google on N Phillips South Wales upholstery.

I can't really vouch for them as it was probably 30 years ago I got a berth cushion made . It was well made and stood up to lots of use.

I replaced all of my bunks two years ago - about 24 units in total. I bought the material and foam from Bridgend Fabrics on the Industrial Estate and they put me in touch with a man and wife team who made them up. I gave them the originals as a pattern. Very pleased with the quality and price and the people in Bridgend Fabrics were super helpful.
