What to know locally in Mpumalanga
Foam is usually cut to size in Mbombela or the Highveld towns, while specialist fabric and marine vinyl may be ordered from Gauteng and couriered. Lodges and guesthouses buy outdoor fabric for cushion covers and order spare covers so a set can be washed. In humid Lowveld summers, upholstery cleaners and rented extraction machines deal with musty couches, but leave the windows open so the fabric dries properly after a wet clean.
Upholsterers and suppliers in Mpumalanga
Two quite different kinds of work meet in this province. On the Lowveld side, lodges and guesthouses around Hazyview, White River and the edge of the Kruger need headboards, lounge chairs and game drive vehicle seats redone between seasons, and the humid summers bring mould into cushions that are stored badly. Up on the Highveld, the coal and power station towns of eMalahleni, Middelburg and Secunda send bakkie seats, fleet vehicle interiors and canteen and office chairs to motor trimmers in their industrial areas. Upholsterers in Mbombela and the Highveld towns serve the smaller places around them, from Dullstroom to Ermelo, so expect a collection fee or a trip into town with the piece in the back of a bakkie.
Typical upholstery tools requests in the area come from:
- Restaurants, hotels, guesthouses and lodges: a staple gun kept on hand for quick repairs to restaurant chairs and bar stools
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: a stainless staple gun and needles for boat and caravan cushion repairs
- Offices and businesses: basic tools for facilities staff refitting office chair seats and reception benches
