Recovering
For frayed or stained fabric, or simply a cover you have grown tired of. We remove the existing fabric and replace it with one of your choice.
A fresh look for a familiar piece
Gary Andrews Upholstery · Camberley
Furniture restoration & repair in Surrey
A prized family heirloom or a favourite sofa deserves thoughtful care. Our craftsmen recover, reupholster and polish furniture to restore its beauty and comfort.
The right treatment for your furniture
Renew the cover. Restore the comfort.
Not every piece needs a complete rebuild. The right approach depends on the condition of the upholstery, the support beneath it and the finish you want to achieve.
Reupholstering
A more thorough renewal, stripping your furniture back to the frame and rebuilding the upholstery with appropriate fillings, suspension and a new cover.
Care that goes beneath the surface
Polishing
Bring the exposed wood into harmony with your upholstery. Our team can offer a polished wood finish of your choice.
The finishing touch to your furniture
Beyond a change of fabric
Rebuilt from the frame up
Reupholstering addresses more than the visible cover. We strip the furniture down to its springs and frame, removing existing fillings and suspension systems before rebuilding.
Fillings suited to the piece
Traditional or contemporary filling materials are used where appropriate, giving the upholstery a renewed foundation.
Finished with a new cover
The final recovering brings the piece together, ready to complement your room once again.

Furniture refinishing
Consider every visible detail
Wooden legs, arms and exposed frames contribute just as much to a piece’s character as its fabric. Our polishing service offers a wood finish of your choice.
When discussing your restoration, tell us whether you want to retain a familiar appearance or bring the furniture into a different room scheme. Considering the wood and upholstery together helps create a coherent finish.

Your questions
Planning your furniture’s next chapter
Tell us what you would like to keep, what needs attention and how you use the piece. We can discuss the most suitable restoration service.
Does my furniture need recovering or reupholstering?
Recovering is recommended when the main issue is fraying, staining or a cover you no longer like. Reupholstering goes deeper, removing the existing fillings and suspension systems and rebuilding from the frame before fitting a new cover.
Can you restore a family heirloom?
We welcome enquiries about treasured family furniture as well as everyday sofas and chairs. Tell us about the piece and the features that matter to you, so we can discuss how best to revive it.
Can I choose a different fabric and wood finish?
Yes. Our recovering service replaces the existing fabric with one of your choice, and our team can offer a polished wood finish of your choice. Discuss both with us when planning your refurbishment.
How do I get a restoration quote?
Contact our team with details of your furniture and the work you have in mind. Photographs of the whole piece and any worn or damaged areas are useful starting points for discussing the work and a quote.
