What to know locally in Durban
Durban homes hold a lot of solid furniture worth keeping: imbuia dining chairs in Glenwood and Morningside houses, big corner lounge suites in Chatsworth and Phoenix family homes, and wingbacks in the retirement complexes of Durban North. Mouldy foam is the common complaint after a wet summer, so ask the upholsterer to strip right back to the frame rather than cover old foam. Leather couches in sea facing flats in Umhlanga often need cleaning and conditioning after salt and sun.
Durban: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Humidity is the upholsterer's real competition in Durban. Damp air works into foam, rusts staples and springs from the inside and leaves grey mould spots on couches in closed-up flats, so a lot of upholstery in Durban starts as a repair rather than a style change. Lounge suites in Chatsworth and Phoenix, old dining chairs on the Berea and holiday flat furniture along the beachfront all come in for new foam and covers. Most upholsterers in Durban work from Jacobs, Mobeni, Springfield and Briardene, or from home workshops in Umlazi and KwaMashu, and collect by bakkie. Ask for marine grade staples, mould resistant fabric and foam that breathes.
The requests we see from Durban usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a sagging family couch, a wobbly leg or a recliner that no longer closes properly
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: lodge and guesthouse couches with broken webbing fixed between bookings without new covers
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: worn waiting room couches at a dealership or tyre centre repaired rather than replaced
Local tips for Durban
Asked for most in Durban: lounge suites, mouldy couches, beachfront flat furniture and taxi seats. Where the workshops are: jacobs, Mobeni, Springfield, Briardene and home workshops in the townships. A useful tip: ask for foam and staples that suit the humidity, and whether old foam is fully removed.
Jobs range widely: one fault to a full seat rebuild. Here, homeowners and tenants lead the requests, typically for a sagging family couch, a wobbly leg or a recliner that no longer closes properly. One local point to raise: bakkie collection across the metro; fabric and foam houses in town and the south basin.
