Furniture reupholstery in Durban: local notes
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 faded or cracked leather lounge suite, a scratched recliner or a worn Chesterfield
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: leather bar couches and lodge lounge chairs cleaned, recoloured and restitched
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: leather couches in dealership showrooms and waiting areas cleaned and recoloured
Local tips for Durban
Common here: lounge suites, mouldy couches, beachfront flat furniture and taxi seats. Ask each workshop about this: ask for foam and staples that suit the humidity, and whether old foam is fully removed. Where they work from: jacobs, Mobeni, Springfield, Briardene and home workshops in the townships.
Jobs range widely: one scuff to a full lounge suite. Here, homeowners and tenants lead the requests, typically for a faded or cracked leather lounge suite, a scratched recliner or a worn Chesterfield. One local point to raise: bakkie collection across the metro; fabric and foam houses in town and the south basin.
