5 Best Upholstery Services in London (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Fenris Morrow
By Fenris Morrow, Expert in Professional Services · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

A sofa that has survived fifteen years of cat scratching, or a set of dining chairs inherited from grandparents, usually deserves reupholstery over a trip to the skip. London's upholsterers below range from 4.7 to 5.0 stars, and between them they carry more than 950 Google reviews, with the busiest workshop alone logged just over a third of that total, so most of these firms are genuinely small, hands-on operations rather than volume shops.

Short answer: For sofa, chair and furniture reupholstery in London, Kennington Upholstery leads on review volume (5.0 stars, 333 reviews), with Upholstery Village and Fineline Upholstery both close behind. Most workshops offer free quotes and collection and delivery across London.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the workshop’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other London upholsterers. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does reupholstery cost in London? (2026)

Upholstery pricing depends heavily on the piece, the fabric chosen, and whether the frame needs repair alongside the fabric work. Most workshops above offer free, no-obligation quotes once they see photos or the piece itself.

Serving all of London

The workshops above are based across Central, Fulham, and Islington, and most offer collection and delivery across Central, South, West, East and North London. Searching for an upholsterer near me? Every listing shows a live phone number and website so you can request a quote.

What to ask before you hire an upholsterer

  • Do you offer collection and delivery, and is there a charge for it?
  • Can I supply my own fabric, or do I need to choose from your suppliers?
  • Will the frame be inspected and repaired if needed, or only the fabric replaced?
  • How long will the project take from collection to return?
  • Is the quote fixed, or could it change once the piece is inspected in the workshop?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these upholsterers?

We started from every upholstery workshop in London with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Is it cheaper to reupholster or buy new furniture?

If the frame is still solid, reupholstery is often more affordable than replacing a well-made piece entirely, and it lets you keep furniture with sentimental or historic value.

How long does reupholstery take?

Standard jobs can take from a few days to a few weeks depending on the piece and fabric availability, while antique restoration involving repairs can take longer. Ask each workshop for a realistic timeline before booking.

The bottom line

Kennington Upholstery is the safe default given its review volume and perfect rating, while London Furniture Restorers is the clear choice for antique or sentimental pieces. Get photos to a workshop early so the quote reflects the actual condition of your furniture before you commit.
