Can anyone recommend a good upholsterer?

Comhrá

I have a leather couch the cushions of which are gone a bit soft.
Does anyone know a good upholsterer who could fill the cushions?
It would have to be done in my place as the couch is hard to get out the door.

ger mc namara is based in moloneys yard, a master craftsman, in the buisness a long time.

let us know how you get on, I didn't know you could get this done with leather couches, and mine is the same way, in dire need of a restuffing..

its not, it is off lower gerrard griffin st, as you go towards the market, if you are walking north you will see an arch way on your right hand side, you enter their and it is about 30 yards on your left hand side, there used to be a few buisness down there i have not been there in a while, i am sure the yellow pages will help out, also 11811, he may be under ger mc namara and sons.

Its being levelled isn't it?

- New Courthouse or something similar?

Maybe there's some grand plan to catapult them straight into the Gaol on Mulgrave St. from the Dock......

tippman, did you get this done? or anyone else recently? looks for a rough idea on how much it would cost me..

Zuroph,

Not yet.....one of those jobs I keep putting off.
I will definitely get in touch with Ger McNamara this week and see what he says.

It will definitely have to be an in-house repair as I had an awful job getting that couch into the house on day one.

I will let you know how I get on. As a matter of fact, I'll call in to that guy tomorrow.

Zuroph, pm sent re. couch repairs.

thanks for that, may flip mine ovewr and have a look! annoying thing is I can find a zip for the back cushions, but not the seat ones, neither can be removed from couch, but the access may be hidden underneath.

zuroph

sure enough, cut through the underneath and found a zip above the elastic frame. from what I can see, the couch can be seperated into two parts by releasing four or five bolts in there, and from there I should have access to all cushions. so its just a case of finding foam now

Great! Will have a look at mine later - I may put my DIY skills to work.
Let me know how you get on.

My couch is old so I may submit it to exploratory surgery!!
