Supplies & care in Newcastle: local notes
Fabric and foam are sold by a few local shops, and bigger orders or specialist leather often come from Durban or Johannesburg, so ask the supplier how long a special order takes. DIYers recovering drop-in dining seats need a staple gun, foam, wadding and about half a metre of fabric per seat. Upholstery cleaners work across the town and townships, and hire shops rent extraction machines for a weekend clean.
Upholstery work in Newcastle
Steel, coal and clothing factories built Newcastle, and the trucks, buses and bakkies that serve them keep its motor trimmers busy. Fleet seats, taxi benches and truck cab seats on the N11 corridor wear through quickly and are recovered or fitted with heavy covers. At home, families in Madadeni, Osizweni and Blaauwbosch recover lounge suites and dining chairs rather than replace them, and older houses in the town centre and Arbor Park hold solid wooden pieces worth keeping. Upholsterers tend to work from the industrial areas and from home workshops in the townships. Summers are hot with thunderstorms and winters cold and dry, which cracks leather and makes foam feel hard.
Who asks for upholstery tools around Newcastle, most often first:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: pneumatic staple guns, hog ring pliers and needles for motor trimmers' bays
- Churches, schools and halls: staple guns and removers for recovering church pew cushions and hall chairs in bulk
- Homeowners and tenants: a manual or electric staple gun and remover for recovering chair seats at home
