By far the best way for us to answer your enquiry and give you all the options and prices is to visit our newly extended 3,000 sq. ft. Factory Showroom, if that's possible for you.
This way we are able to explain all the various options open to you and how these affect the overall cost of what you're thinking of having done….And of course we always have the kettle on stand-by, to give you a welcome cuppa!
Why not take a VIRTUAL TOUR of our Showroom and Workshop by clicking on the image below…
You'll see Fabrics…
…In fact more fabrics (over 4,000) than you probably ever thought existed! But don’t worry, we like to make things as straightforward as possible… so we have over 1,200 fabrics that will all cost the same amount if you choose any of them to have your order made in them.

FABRIC SELECTOR
We’re here to help… or just let you browse!
Some of our visitors have a very good idea of what they would like… whereas others are looking to make use of our 32 years of experience and want some guidance. Either way we promise that you’ll be made very welcome and we’ll be delighted to show you around!

FABRIC SELECTOROur helpful and friendly staff are on hand to help you by showing you the various options of how we can make the upholstery or furnishings that you are considering.
We’re not interested in trying to ‘sell’ you anything, which is why none of our staff are paid on commission!
Explaining and showing you examples of what we can do for you makes your visit to us a relaxed and enjoyable one… regardless of whether you’re just here to have a browse, or if you decide to eventually place an order.
You’ll see real people working!
Call us old fashioned if you want… but we still employ real, live craftsmen and craftsladies! We don’t have any production lines here and rather than use computerised cutting tables that use a computer program to cut the fabric for your order… we still use a trained eye and good old tailor’s scissors!
We've recently expanded our Showroom and created a 'Customer Viewing Gallery' so you can now see what we are working on at any time, in an open and transparent environment.
You can try all our foam grades…
We’ve dedicated part of our Showroom to our unique 'Foam Selector' area that enables you to try sitting and lying on numerous combinations of all our foam types, to find the one that's 'just right'!
We're constantly amazed at the distance people will travel to visit our Showroom…
The image above is of Mr & Mrs Bendall from Scotland who booked their motorhome in with us to have a full re-upholster. They drove the 'van down to us and flew home! When they collected the vehicle a couple of weeks later, we presented them with a bouquet as they'd beaten the record for the furthest distance a visitor had driven to us… a massive 824 mile round trip!
Often customers will bring cushions and curtains and furnishings with them when they visit, for us to measure.
If customers have a motorhome, they will usually bring it with them when visiting. We can then measure your motorhome for you. If you wish you can take our upholstery fabrics, foam and furnishings out to your 'van to see how they look 'in situ'.
We gladly give all visitors options and prices without any obligation. This is all done in a professional, no-pressure manner by our staff, who are all non-commission and have no 'targets' to beat, by the way!
If You Decide To Order
We purposely don't offer a rushed 'while you wait' service as we believe very strongly in giving a job whatever time is necessary to complete it to an excellent standard. So for your convenience, whatever you may order, can be despatched to any address when completed. If you can’t transport your items to us then we have a FREE UK WIDE COLLECTION AND DELIVERY SERVICE.
Alternatively, if you have a Motorhome, we can book a future 'slot' for you in our Production Schedule. When we do the work for you, if you wish, you can arrange to leave your 'van in our compound at the rear of our premises for 10 working days, while we carry out everything that you have asked to be done.
To try and avoid visitors all arriving at once please give us a ring or drop us an e-mail if you would like to visit and we will very much look forward to meeting you.

Caravan, Motorhome, Horsebox and Boat Upholstery & Furnishings Prices
We recognise that you may want an idea of what sort of costs might be involved in having us carry out any of our made-to-measure services.
We purposely haven’t listed any prices on our website as there are so many variations in the services we offer, for a myriad of different leisure vehicles and boats that we feel it’s important to give you accurate options and prices, once we know more about what you are thinking of having done.
To view our full range of over 4,000 searchable Fabrics, FOR MOTORHOMES, CARAVANS , BOATS & HORSEBOXES, click below to go to our unique…
FABRIC SELECTORWe’re here to explain what we can do and if you wish we can help make suggestions as to how you can have the furnishings you’d like… but without spending more than necessary.
TIP: When asking for a quote, people often say "I want all new complete cushions", possibly not realising that replacing all their cushions for brand new greatly adds to the overall cost. In our 32 year's experience it's very unusual to actually need all the cushions to be replaced unless they've been badly damaged or severely worn. So in many cases you can save money by having some or all of your items re-upholstered, rather than throwing out all your cushions and paying for all complete new ones to be made.
The best way of helping you, if possible, is to give us a call on 0117 941 0222.
If that’s not possible, then just go to our Quotations/Contact Us page where we explain what info we need from you in order to give you options and prices by email.
One thing we can assure you… we are not in the business of giving you a cheap, vague ‘From’ price just to get you interested in using us. But we will give you honest Quotes that we stick to, and all the prices we quote you include V.A.T.
This way you’ll know exactly where you stand if you decide to place an order with us.
We very much look forward to hearing from you.
