Pretoria notes on supplies & care

Upholsterers and suppliers 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: durable fabric by the roll for church pew cushions, school halls and theatre seats
- Clinics, salons, spas and gyms: wipe-clean vinyl and treated fabric for clinic waiting chairs and spa loungers
- Homeowners and tenants: a family couch, dining chair seats or a headboard in a colour that suits the lounge
