    Most upholsterers should. I can't post numbers here but there's someone in Ballyglunin I could give you a contact for.

    Thanks but I'm in Woodford so was hoping to find someone a bit closer if possible.

    Just to give folks the heads up... I got quotes four years ago of about €1000, €1200, labour only, for a three piece suite (small). It's about a weeks work for an upholsterer. It's skilled work so it doesn't bare any resemblance to the pay or quality of cheap modern sofas made in Turkey (wages of €60 per week??).


    The reason I'm saying this was I was embarrassed by someone who I gave an upholsters number to. They got a great quote (over 30% cheaper than others) but they were so 'shocked' at the price they gave out to the upholster and I had to explain the actual market price to them. I was sorry my upholsterer got an ear full.
