The details make the quote: the vehicle or the seating, how many seats, the material, the damage and whether the work can be done on site. Send one request with them and we pass it to motor trimmers and car upholsterers working in towns and cities across Gauteng.
Car Roof Lining Repair in Gauteng
Roof lining sagging in Gauteng? Give the vehicle type and year, whether it has a sunroof or roof console, where the sag starts and whether there has been a leak. Add a photo, and say whether you can leave the car for the day, so trimmers in Gauteng can quote and book you in.
The main car roof lining repair page explains the options, materials and costs in more detail.
Gauteng notes on vehicles, boats & commercial
Taxi ranks and fleet yards keep motor trimmers in Booysens, Germiston and Pretoria West busy with torn bench seats and worn driver bolsters. Double cab bakkies need fitted seat covers, and many hatchbacks come in with a drooping roof lining after a few hot summers. Office parks in Sandton, Midrand and Centurion send boardroom chairs and gas lifts in bulk, and restaurants in Rosebank, Maboneng and Menlyn ask for booth seating to be done after hours.
Upholsterers and suppliers in Gauteng
Decades of solid furniture sit in Gauteng homes: imbuia sideboards and ball and claw armchairs in Parkhurst, Melville and Brooklyn, Morris chairs in Germiston semis, lounge suites bought on account in Soweto and Mamelodi that still have good frames under tired covers. That is the core of the work here, alongside a large motor trade where trimmers redo bakkie seats, taxi benches and sagging roof linings. Upholsterers cluster in the industrial areas of every metro and in home workshops across the townships, while foam and fabric houses supply the trade from the bigger centres. Most jobs move by bakkie between suburbs within a day. The dry Highveld winter cracks leather that is never conditioned, so mention any leather couch in the quote.
The requests we see from Gauteng usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: the family car whose roof cloth has dropped onto the back seat passengers
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: guest shuttle kombis and lodge vehicles with sagging, stained roof linings
- Churches, schools and halls: school kombis and municipal vehicles where the lining hangs over the rear seats
Local tips for Gauteng
Upholsterers serving Gauteng mostly work from here: industrial areas in each metro, CBD fabric shops and home workshops in the townships. The jobs that come up most: lounge suites, dining chairs and headboards, bakkie and taxi seats, roof linings. When you ask for quotes, ask whether collection and delivery are in the quote, and which suburbs it covers.
Around Gauteng the largest group asking is homeowners and tenants, which usually means the family car whose roof cloth has dropped onto the back seat passengers. Before you agree to anything: fix any roof or sunroof leak first. Collection here: collection and delivery by bakkie across the metros; foam is cut while you wait.
