Pietermaritzburg notes on supplies & care
Fabric shops in the city centre and the Church Street area sell upholstery fabric by the metre, and foam is cut locally or brought up from Durban for bigger orders. Ask for hessian, jute webbing and coil spring twine if you are restoring an old chair the traditional way. Upholstery cleaners work across the city and the Midlands, and hire shops rent extraction machines for a weekend clean of lounge suites and car seats.
Upholsterers and suppliers in Pietermaritzburg
Red brick Victorian and Edwardian houses give Pietermaritzburg a stock of old furniture that most cities have long lost. Wingbacks, button-back chairs, riempie benches and ball and claw dining sets turn up in homes in Scottsville, Clarendon, Wembley and Hayfields, and restoring them often means regluing joints and treating woodworm before any fabric goes on. As the provincial capital, the city also sends government office chairs, school hall seating and church pews for recovering, while the Midlands towns of Hilton and Howick bring guesthouse lounges and farmhouse furniture. Upholsterers work from Mkondeni, Willowton and home workshops in Edendale and Northdale. Hot, humid summers and cold, misty winters both test foam and leather.
Typical upholstery foam requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: new seat foam for a sagging couch, dining chair pads and scatter cushion inners
- Churches, schools and halls: pew cushion foam by the metre for churches, school halls and auditorium seats
- Offices and businesses: replacement foam for reception couches, boardroom chair seats and waiting room benches
