Honest advice.
We’ll talk through whether re-upholstery makes sense for your furniture, its condition and what you want to achieve.
About Us
A craft
worth keeping.
Furniture holds more than its shape. It holds memories, familiar comforts and the promise of years still to come. We’ve been caring for that promise since 1977.
D&P Upholstery · Gateshead
Our story
Rooted in the North East.
Made for real life.
D&P Upholstery specialises in re-upholstery, bespoke furniture and commercial seating. From our Gateshead workshop, we work with people who appreciate the value of a well-made piece.
Our upholsterers and machinists bring experience in traditional and modern techniques. Their work ranges from a much-loved family armchair to seating made for a busy commercial space.
The starting point is always the same: understand the furniture, understand what you need, and give the details the attention they deserve.
What matters to us
Good work.
Good reasons.
Care beyond the fabric.
Comfort, frames, springs and fillings all matter. A beautiful finish starts with the work underneath.

You can ask questions, explore fabrics and discuss the details with the team who understand the craft.
