I contacted the compnay via email with a request for a quotation. I sent details and photographs but this people are NOT professionals so didn't bother replaying to me.
One of those thousands of irresponsible traders.

I had a 15 year old fairly battered Balzac sofa which I could not get out of my flat in an upcoming house move. At one point I was thinking of trashing it and buying a new sofa but Mehmet and the Classic Upholstery team were able to come and cut the sofa in two, remove to reconstruct and reupholster in their workshop. The result is stunning. Start to finish just fabulous to deal with and quality workmanship for a reasonable price too. Even helped get it delivered out to our new home in Surrey.Thoroughly recommend. World class. More...

Classic Upholstery did and excellent job on my 12 dining chairs. The work was beautifully done, with attention to detail and it was done within a week although it was quoted as a 2week job. I received email and photo updates throughout the process. I would recommend them without a doubt!! THANK YOU! More...

Classic upholstery did a great job on an art deco sofa and armchair. They were expert, and went the extra mile to use original chrome studs. Thank you!

We went for Classic Upholstery as they provided a reasonable quote, the reviews looked good and they were very helpful and readily replied to emails. It was a good choice - Mehmet and his team gave us good advice and our two very moth-eaten and tired sofas looked like new again when they'd finished. We are very impressed - thank you! More...

Delighted with the result of a reupholstered armchair, Mehmet and his team did a great job, sent work in progress photos and delivered in much less time than I had been expecting at a competitive price

A much loved 15 year old Balzac Armchair and ottoman was badly in need of reupholstery, (see pic of before). I contacted 4 local companies and liked the response, feel, timescale and price from Mehmet at Classic Upholstery. They collected the chair and I visited the shop to select the leather. Mehmet quoted two weeks to do the job, but in the end it was just over one week. As you can see the Balzac and Ottoman look brand new. Its is a superb job and I could not be happier. I thoroughly recommend Classic Upholstery: great workmanship, excellent service, competitive price and lovely people. More...

Absolutely delighted with the service and the craftsmanship. I asked Mr Ozer to recover three sofas for me. Two were very old and not that special in the first place and the third was an Ikea sofa bed. He did the most amazing job of making my very ordinary furniture look better than new. If you have furniture that works in your house, fits in your rooms but is getting old and tatty, this is the solution. He also made some amazing cushions for me. Everything was picked up and dropped off at my house and he kept in touch via email during the process. Couldn’t be happier More...

Just got back an armchair that was re-upholstered by them- it is absolutely stunning and to the highest quality. The piping was done in a different colour, so not a straightforward job in principle, but they did an outstanding job.
On top of that we got the furniture delivered and picked up free of charge.
We compared prices across London and they were the most competitive by far. All in all, what is not to like? Best price, best quality and outstanding service (they did it in just 1.5 weeks!) Keep up the good work!

We are very pleased with the work of Mehmet and his team. We are very attached to our leather chesterfield which we have had for nearly 40 years and are delighted to have it back looking brand new. We were kept very well informed as the job went on from collection to delivery back home, with emails, phone calls, and photos of work in progress. Professional and friendly service. Thanks More...

I can’t rate the team at Classic Upholstery highly enough!
We recently moved and our 8’ leather sofa became stuck on the stairs.
Classic Upholstery came to the rescue and within 30 mins of me calling, the owner came to my flat, looked carefully at the sofa and the damage that had been done to it by the removal guys and his team started work later the same day.
Not only did they manage to dismantle the sofa while stuck on an awkward staircase, they then with great care and skill got the giant sofa into the flat and put it back together. They did an amazing job and are a lovely team. 10/10 and I recommend them to everyone. Thanks so much!

I had a modern 4 seater couch which I couldn't get out of our lounge because of the access. When we bought it it had to come through the lounge window via the neighbours garden. We wanted to get it re-upholstered and Classic Upholstery came and dismantled it, took it away and recovered it, brought it back and assembled it again. We had a 3 seater done at the same time. This took a week from the fabric arriving to completion. The couches look brand new and we are thrilled with the finished product and the service. I would definitely recommend them to everyone. The service couldn't be better!!!! More...

I am absolutely delighted with the quality of work Mehmet provided. The chair he reupholstered for me is flawless and clearly done with care - even the positioning of the fabric pattern in relation to the button back has been thoughtfully done. He turned around the work much faster than expected, was friendly and communicative and even ran up two cushions for me with the surplus fabric. I would not hesitate to recommend him. More...

I'm pleased to recommend Classic Upholstery unreservedly. Mehmet undertook to reupholster a sofa for me at relatively short notice within a fixed period of time, and collected and delivered exactly as promised (even though I held things up by being a little slow in chosing the fabric I wanted). His quote for the work was £50 more than a rival firm in Hackney, but they proved to be unreliable, and suggested that I needed significantly more fabric than Mehmet estimated, so I ended up paying quite a lot less. Mehmet always responded promptly and helpfully to email queries, I was sent photos to show the work in progress, and the finished job has been done beautifully, with great care and expertise. My tired old sofa had been given a new lease of life. More...

I gave large two antique chairs / thrones to Classic Upholstery to renovate and recover. I cannot stop praising Classic Upholstery, they dealt with me with wonderfully from start to finish, they were professional, polite and tried to accommodate and anticipate my needs and when necessary they gave me valuable advice. Mehmet is a real gentleman his work is a true art form, the finished product took my breath away with the amazing craftsmanship. They have exceeded my expectations and I shall be first to recommend them to any individual or business who may need their services. Oh and the price was very cost effective too, shows you, one can still get a good deal and a job well done in London :) More...

Everything about Mehmet's service is absolutely the best. He re-upholstered 2 sofas and 7 chairs for me to meet a really tight deadline, and his work was of the highest quality and very good value for money. He produced an estimate as soon as he'd seen my furniture, ferried it all backwards and forwards and kept me constantly updated with photos. He and his colleagues were unfailingly polite and friendly. I'll definitely use him again; if only I could find people like Mehmet for other domestic jobs. More...

Great service. They picked up the (rather large) Chesterfield sofa and managed to get it down the stairs of our first floor flat, then kept us updated throughout, emailing photos to show progress. It only took them a week to complete. As we were moving house they then delivered it to a new address for us and got it into the living room, despite the tight hallway! More...
