Upholstery work in Western Cape
Cape Dutch farmhouses, wine farm tasting rooms and Victorian cottages give the Western Cape a strong restoration tradition, with stinkwood and yellowwood chairs, riempie benches and old armchairs regularly rebuilt rather than replaced. Cape Town's upholsterers and motor trimmers work from Epping, Montague Gardens, Maitland and Ndabeni, with home workshops across the Cape Flats and fabric houses around Woodstock and Salt River. Wine estates in Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek recover lounge chairs, banquettes and outdoor cushions between seasons. Yachts and fishing boats at Hout Bay, Knysna and Hermanus need marine vinyl. Wet winters bring mould into closed holiday homes, while the summer sun and wind on the coast fade and wear patio fabric quickly.
