A small selection of our leather repairs
It is often possible to repair damage to existing leather furniture. If fabric is damaged invariably replacement matching fabric is required and this is not always available. Leather repairs, however, can be carried out in various ways either by restoring and refinishing the existing panel(s) or in severe cases of damage I can machine in replacement leather panel.
Below are before and after examples of repair work carried out on leather sofas and chairs in customer's homes.

Leather Repairs - Replacement panel to Chair cushion Before and After
This leather chair of a bucket seat design was the favourite seat amongst a suite of furniture that had given over 15 years of service. As the foam structure started to deteriorate, excess pressure was placed on the seams and as the leather aged it became brittle and tore away.
The best course of action on this occasion was to match and replace the affected panels and pad and reinforce the foam structure which I did back at my workshop. The customer from Hillingdon in Middx was delighted with the result which saved them replacing the whole suite.
Large Split in Leather Settee Arm cover - Before and After
