I am sure Val referred to is the same as Marine Upholstery by Val

I used her three times - twice with the boat, last with the conservatory furniture. She is uttery brilliant. Her skill cannot be over exaggerated. Works at home (Clacton) and has a very well appointed workshop. Hits deadlines.

If Val previously worked at SLC upholstery I think she also did my boat, which was and still is perfect.

I had some interior upholstery done by them mid 2000s. I have to say that there was nothing very wrong with the workmanship/sewing but it was 'domestic' upholstery quality (which is what they do very well) rather than 'marine standard'. I had it redone by Peter of Jeckells Trimmers a few years later - chalk and cheese IMO.

It's like having boat stainless work done by a company with a feeling for what's required aesthetically as well as practically, rather than by a general (competent), industrial SS fabricator - that's why I think Mr Stainless at Levington is one of the best in his field (& why he's so bloody expensive nowadays!).

Val's upholstery work looks excellent judging by the photo - bookmarked.

Anglia Upholstery, Unit 2, The Old Forge, Farnham Industrial Estate, Farnham IP17 1JZ, 01728602481 might be worth a try also.

I used them to re cover and make some vinyl seat squabs and back rests for a dory. They do all sorts, from home furnishings, caravans and boats, very helpful company.
