eMalahleni notes on furniture reupholstery
Houses in Del Judor, Tasbet Park and Reyno Ridge often hold a solid lounge suite bought when the family first moved for mine work, and recovering it is usually cheaper than chasing a new one of the same size. In KwaGuqa and Lynnville the job is more often a well-used corner couch with flattened seat foam and broken webbing. Pick a tightly woven fabric or a faux leather that wipes clean of coal grime.
Upholstery work in eMalahleni
Coal country wears seats out fast. In eMalahleni the upholstery work that never stops is on wheels: mine bakkies, crew buses and contractor double cabs come off the collieries and power station roads with torn driver seats, split bolsters and covers clogged with fine black dust. Motor trimmers in the Ferrobank and other industrial areas off the N4 do much of this by the fleet, quoted per seat or per vehicle. At home the work is lounge suites and dining chairs in Del Judor, Tasbet Park and Reyno Ridge, plus township home workshops in KwaGuqa and Ackerville that recover couches at the kitchen table. Dust gets into everything here, so a cleanable fabric or a vinyl seat cover saves a second job.
Who asks for upholstery and reupholstery around eMalahleni, most often first:

- Homeowners and tenants: a tired lounge suite, a family armchair, dining chairs or a headboard given a new cover
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: interior designers and furniture dealers sending frames out for recovering before resale
