What to know locally in Kimberley
Farm bakkies from around Ritchie and Barkly West come in with sun-cracked seats and need canvas covers. Government offices, the hospital and clinics send office chairs and treatment couches for recovering. Guesthouses in the old suburbs ask for dining chairs and lounge seating to suit the period of the house, and churches in Galeshewe need padded chairs and pew cushions recovered.
Upholstery work in Kimberley
Kimberley's diamond rush left behind a town of old houses, and their furniture is the most interesting upholstery work for many kilometres. Victorian and Edwardian homes in Belgravia and Beaconsfield, with corrugated iron roofs and wide stoeps, still hold horsehair-stuffed armchairs, button-back chaises and dining sets on ball and claw feet that need careful restoration rather than a quick recover. Hadison Park and the newer suburbs bring lounge suites and headboards, Galeshewe and Roodepan have home upholsterers recovering couches, and farms out towards Ritchie and Barkly West send bakkie seats and stoep benches. Workshops are few, so fabric and foam often come from Bloemfontein or Johannesburg. The dry heat and dust are hard on leather and fabric.
Typical custom car seat covers requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: the family car that carries children, a dog and wet towels every weekend
- Churches, schools and halls: municipal and school vehicles covered in tough canvas or vinyl for daily use
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: taxi owners, fleet managers and dealers covering seats in bulk, vehicle by vehicle
Local tips for Kimberley
Upholsterers serving Kimberley mostly work from here: workshops in the town centre and industrial area, home upholsterers in Galeshewe. The jobs that come up most: antique armchairs and chaises, lounge suites, bakkie seats and stoep benches. When you ask for quotes, for antiques, ask whether the upholsterer keeps the original stuffing where possible.
Custom Car Seat Covers usually suits cars, double cabs, bakkies, taxis and fleets. The job: patterned and sewn to fit, then fitted. For homeowners and tenants, the biggest group here, that usually means the family car that carries children, a dog and wet towels every weekend. On the climate side: hot, dry summers and dust crack leather and fade fabric; cold winter nights.
