Pretoria notes on supplies & care
Fabric and foam suppliers in Silverton and Pretoria West cut foam to size and sell webbing, springs, hessian and staples to the many small workshops in the city. DIYers recovering dining chair seats in Montana or Akasia usually need about half a metre per seat pad. Upholstery cleaning is booked by landlords in Hatfield and Sunnyside between tenants, and extraction machine hire is a common weekend job for family couches in the east.
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: webbing and springs in bulk for church pews, hall chairs and theatre seat repairs
- Offices and businesses: castors, glides and fixings for keeping reception and boardroom seating in order
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: foam, glue, staples and thread for motor trimmers rebuilding seats and door cards
Local tips for Pretoria
Upholsterers serving Pretoria mostly work from here: silverton, Pretoria West, Pretoria North, Rosslyn trimmers and Mamelodi workshops. The jobs that come up most: government office seating, imbuia dining chairs, riempie benches and lounge suites. When you ask for quotes, for office or state work, ask for a tax invoice and a price per chair in writing.
Jobs range widely: a few metres to trade orders. Here, churches, schools and halls lead the requests, typically for webbing and springs in bulk for church pews, hall chairs and theatre seat repairs. One local point to raise: collected by bakkie across Tshwane; bulk office jobs often done in a workshop batch.
