East London notes on furniture reupholstery
Lounge suites in Vincent, Berea and Nahoon are often solid older frames, and upholsterers recover them in new foam and fabric. In Mdantsane and Duncan Village, recovering couches and making buttoned headboards are common jobs for home workshops. Retirement homes in Beacon Bay and Gonubie ask for wingbacks recovered in easy-clean fabric. Damp sea air can rot foam and rust springs, so ask the upholsterer to check the frame and springs when stripping.
East London: the homes, the climate and the workshops
A river port with a car plant beside it, East London mixes motor trimming with plenty of household work. Trimmers near the West Bank and Wilsonia recover car and bakkie seats, fit roof linings and supply leather conversions, while furniture upholsterers recover lounge suites and dining chairs in Vincent, Berea, Nahoon and Beacon Bay. Mdantsane, one of the largest townships in the country, has many home workshops recovering couches and making headboards. Government offices in Bhisho and Qonce send office chairs and boardroom seating. Holiday homes in Gonubie and along the coast need outdoor cushions and mould-resistant fabric, since the humid sea air rusts springs and leaves foam damp.
Typical leather couch repairs requests in the area come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: leather couches in dealership showrooms and waiting areas cleaned and recoloured
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: leather seating in a game lodge lounge or a holiday home dried out by sun
- Homeowners and tenants: a faded or cracked leather lounge suite, a scratched recliner or a worn Chesterfield
