Pretoria notes on furniture reupholstery
Old Pretoria homes in Brooklyn, Waterkloof, Lynnwood and Villieria often hold imbuia and stinkwood pieces, ball and claw feet and riempie chairs that need careful restoration alongside the reupholstery. Rental flats in Sunnyside, Arcadia and Hatfield turn over student and diplomat tenants, so landlords ask for durable couch covers. In the east, Faerie Glen, Garsfontein and Moreleta Park homes recover family lounge suites, and headboards are popular for guest rooms.
Upholstery work in Pretoria
Government is a large upholstery client in Pretoria. Departments, the metro and the embassies around Arcadia and Waterkloof send boardroom chairs, waiting room benches and reception lounge seats for recovering, usually through a written quote request with an order number. The other big source of work is old Pretoria itself: houses in Brooklyn, Muckleneuk, Arcadia and Villieria full of imbuia dining sets, riempie benches and Cape Dutch pieces handed down through families. Upholstery in Pretoria is spread across Silverton, Pretoria West and Pretoria North workshops, with trimmers near the vehicle plants at Rosslyn and home workshops in Mamelodi and Atteridgeville. Afternoon storms in summer mean you should keep a collected couch covered on the bakkie.
The requests we see from Pretoria usually come from:
- Churches, schools and halls: church pew cushions, school hall chairs and stage furniture recovered in bulk
- Homeowners and tenants: a tired lounge suite, a family armchair, dining chairs or a headboard given a new cover
- Offices and businesses: reception couches, waiting room chairs and boardroom seats recovered in a hard-wearing fabric
