Simon Houlding Upholstery in Heybridge, near Maldon, established 1997. Design-led, the most reviewed upholsterer in the area, with a high end showroom and every stage overseen by Simon himself. - Do you upholster old or antique furniture? Yes. Generally, older furniture has the best quality frames. We strip everything back to the wood and rebuild using traditional upholstery techniques and materials such as hand tying the springs and using fibre and horsehair. This keeps the furniture true to its age and allows many more years of use. - Do you make curtains and blinds? Yes, curtains and roman blinds are made in our workshop by our own team. From the initial measure and fabric choice to hanging and dressing, we will be there every step of the way. - How much does reupholstery cost? The cost of reupholstery is comparable to buying new of a similar quality. Send us a photo and a brief overview and we will send you a personal reply quoting your project using an average price fabric. Once approved we will arrange an appointment either at our showroom or in your home. - Do you have a showroom I can visit? Yes. Stock Chase, Heybridge, Maldon, CM9 4AA. Opening hours 8am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday. Weekends by appointment. - What areas do you cover? We cover the whole of Essex. We will also cover London and Suffolk for the right project. - Can you handle large or commercial projects? Yes. Our workforce, across five units, takes on projects most local firms have to turn away, with a clear lead time on every quote. - How long does a project take? Most reupholstery runs a few weeks once the fabric is in. You get a clear timeline with every quote. - Do you supply the fabric or can I bring my own? Both. Thousands of fabrics to choose from through the houses we trust, or work with your own material. - Is reupholstery better for the environment than buying new? Yes. It takes around a thousand times more carbon to build a piece from new than to restore a good one. Reupholstery is the considered choice. ## Upholstery - [Upholstery & Reupholstery in Essex](https://www.simonhoulding.co.uk/upholstery/): Hand-built upholstery and reupholstery in Heybridge, Maldon.
