Our family's couch, which had been in our possession for more than ten years, was recently reupholstered by Plumbs.
Each step was completed with meticulous attention to detail, we were kept informed of the development at all times, the upholsterer personally phoned us a number of times to check in with us, and the finished product is just stunning.
We are really delighted with the overall aspect of the settee, which appears to be like new and has a fresh spring to it.
Please accept my thanks on behalf of everyone who was involved, especially the upholsterer who was able to match the striped material perfectly.
I have no difficulty in recommending Plumbs because their quality and service are incomparable in the industry.
