Services
Welcome to South West Upholstery, the home of high-quality Bristol Upholsters. Our family-run business started out 18 years ago in a small garden shed in Bristol. Since then we have steadily grown to become the most recognised upholstery business in Bristol for quality and service. Our Bristol upholsters expertise has enabled us to offer a wide range of upholstery, re-upholstery and soft furnishings services.
Our business is a real family affair started in Bristol by three generations of the Ball family in Grandad John's garden shed. John, Andy & Ryan all worked together undertaking seating repairs and recovering for buses and coaches.
In the early days this was part time work on evenings and weekends alongside John and Andy's regular jobs but Ryan had a burning passion for business from a young age and so took the plunge to take on the business full time and learn the trade alongside his Grandad, driving it forward from our garden shed to what we are today.Left to right: John, Andy & Ryan.

Our family business has been around for over 20 years and we believe this speaks volumes for the quality and trust we offer to our customers. We cover every requirement for your household upholstery, including living room upholstery, dining room upholstery, and many more using our highly experienced upholsterers and sewing machinist.
Why go to the expense of replacing your current conservatory furniture when you can use conservatory upholstery! As conservatory cushions are often subjected to a lot of sunlight exposure, the fabric can fade and even become damaged from UV rays. Here at South West Upholstery, we offer conservatory upholstery services for your existing cushions or supply brand new made-to-measure conservatory cushions.
Parker Knoll is a British furniture manufacturing company that has been around for over 150 years! They even developed spring-based recliner technology. A classic design reminiscent of the 1970s, Parker Knoll pieces are highly sought after by many. Because of their popularity, it's important to invest in Parker Knoll upholstery & reupholstery services to keep them in tip-top condition.

I cannot rate South West Upholstery highly enough. They have been extremely helpful, quick to respond & dare I say patient throughout. They happily sent numerous samples of leather & fabric before we settled on a leather to cover our dining chairs. They answered all our questions quickly but without any pressure. The chairs have been beautifully recovered & we are extremely pleased. Do not hesitate to use them.

Very efficient service. Our leather armchair that had a broken spring was picked up from home and returned just over a week later. Spring repaired, seating fabric under the cushion stitched in place and the seat cushion plus one from our other similar chair, refilled. Absolutely delighted with the result, thank you SWU team, the chairs look great.

It’s great to come across a company that really does know what it’s doing. We had great service from start to finish and are really delighted with our new cushions that have totally revitalised a tired John Lewis sofa. Thanks a mill Amy and colleagues.

Two zig zag spring on my Parker Knoll armchair had broken.
Google had SW Upholstery Ltd. I received an immediate response to my email enquiry from a lovely person called Amy. I was amazed at how quickly everything was checked, estimated, and paid for. The delivery was as she said. Really wonderful, old fashioned, professional service. And Amy told me that if I wanted any help in fitting the springs to contact their upholstery Department. Really impressive!

Honestly, i cannot praise this company enough! I had the arms on my leather sofa repaired & they have done an amazing job. They are very skilled & so knowledgeable, & nothing is too much trouble. The customer service is second to none every step of the way & i will certainly recommend them. The price was very reasonable & they completed the work in record time. Thanks to everyone.

I needed a very precious (to me) leather-covered antique rocking chair re-upholstered and was very concerned that any work that was done should be sympathetic to its age and uniqueness. This was a good experience from the first phone call to SW Upholstery. The staff are pleasant and unendingly helpful. Great care was taken to ascertain exactly what I wanted and photos were sent, for my approval, at different stages of the renovation. The finished craftsmanship is faultless.

I used South West Upholstery accidentally whilst looking for an upholstery shop that had apparently closed down - I’m very glad I did! Their customer service was excellent, with help and advice given along the way and the finished chair is stunning. Their attention to detail is excellent, I chose a tartan fabric - lots of straight lines, which with a more slapdash outfit could have looked awful, however their work is precise, meticulous and pleasing on the eye. No upholstery work is cheap, but South West Upholsterers delivered top quality work for the price. Strongly recommend and will use again

My experience with this company from start to finish was outstanding. I had my two motorbike seats foam replaced with a more comfortable type.
The turnaround time was incredible. The seats went off by courier at 9am, which they arranged, and the next day I received a call in the afternoon telling me my seats were ready and on their way back to me.
They arrived safe and sound along with my original foam, and are just perfect. The new seats are now back on and look and fit just like the original.
I highly recommend this company for their professionalism, friendliness, skill and pricing.

What can I say,I can't remember the last time I was treated like a proper customer so professional from start to finish. Wow what a fantastic job carried out by Alan and his team - an upgrade on my motorbike seat. When you receive service like this you tell everyone. In addition Alan put himself out and completed the job within 24 hours knowing I needed to make the most of the very limited British sunshine. A very satisfied customer.
