Vehicles, boats & commercial in Pietermaritzburg: local notes
Government departments, the courts and the many schools in the city send office chairs, staff room chairs and hall seating for repair in bulk. Motor trimmers in Willowton and Mkondeni do bakkie seats, taxi benches and roof linings, and farmers from the Midlands bring tractor and game vehicle seats. Guesthouses and wedding venues around Hilton and Howick recover lounge chairs and outdoor cushions, and church pews are often done in the quieter winter months.
Pietermaritzburg: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Red brick Victorian and Edwardian houses give Pietermaritzburg a stock of old furniture that most cities have long lost. Wingbacks, button-back chairs, riempie benches and ball and claw dining sets turn up in homes in Scottsville, Clarendon, Wembley and Hayfields, and restoring them often means regluing joints and treating woodworm before any fabric goes on. As the provincial capital, the city also sends government office chairs, school hall seating and church pews for recovering, while the Midlands towns of Hilton and Howick bring guesthouse lounges and farmhouse furniture. Upholsterers work from Mkondeni, Willowton and home workshops in Edendale and Northdale. Hot, humid summers and cold, misty winters both test foam and leather.
Typical car upholstery requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: the family hatchback or SUV with a split driver's seat and children's wear in the back
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: shuttle vans and lodge transfer kombis whose seats take daily guest wear
- Clinics, salons, spas and gyms: patient transport vans and clinic vehicles that need wipe-clean vinyl seats
