Furniture reupholstery in Gauteng: local notes
Older suburbs such as Kensington, Linden, Waterkloof and Lynnwood hold the hardwood couches, wingbacks and riempie chairs that are worth stripping back and rebuilding. In newer estates around Midrand, Fourways and Centurion the requests lean towards recovering fabric corner units, new foam for flat seat cushions and buttoned headboards for main bedrooms. In Soweto, Tembisa and Katlehong many families recover a lounge suite before a wedding or a family gathering, so give the date when you ask.
Gauteng: the homes, the climate and the workshops
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.
