Every piece tells a different story.

From worn springs and tired fabrics to carefully chosen textiles, intricate details and beautifully finished furniture, upholstery is about far more than recovering a chair.

It’s about craftsmanship, creativity and giving cherished pieces a new lease of life.

Some days in the workshop are spent stitching, some selecting fabrics, some repairing what can’t be seen. Every stage matters.

That’s what we love about upholstery.

Not everything needs explaining.
Sometimes it’s just the rhythm of the workshop.

Craft, conversation, coffee, fabric, and years of experience in every corner.

A few moments from behind the scenes at Philip Thomerson Upholstery.

Part 2: “We don’t work December…” 👀

Sounds crazy, right? But Philip breaks down exactly why businesses like his have to think this way to survive.

From holidays, bank holidays, sick days, unexpected setbacks and quieter periods, every hour of skilled craftsmanship has to cover far more than just the job itself.

This is the reality behind handmade upholstery and why quality work costs what it costs. It’s not just about the hours on one sofa or chair… it’s about sustaining a workshop, a team, and decades of expertise all year round.

By the end of this video, you’ll understand why charging properly isn’t greed, it’s what keeps craftsmanship alive.

A closer look behind the scenes at the craftsmanship that goes into every bespoke piece ✨

Here, one of the team is hand-buttoning what’s shaping up to be a stunning oversized custom footstool, carefully upholstered and finished by hand in the workshop. From the frame build right through to the final detailing, every stage is completed with precision, care, and years of experience.

It’s always great to see these pieces come to life from the workshop floor. 👏

Most people see the final price… but never what goes into it.

In this conversation, Philip breaks down exactly why upholstery costs what it costs - from skilled craftsmanship and fabric choices to staff wages, delivery, overheads, and everything behind the scenes that people rarely think about.

If you’ve ever wondered why quality furniture restoration is priced the way it is, this is worth the watch.

This is Part One of a two-part answer and trust us, you’ll want to come back for Part Two when Philip explains what he means by: “We don’t work December.”

Earlier this week, we spent some time in the workshop.

Philip was hard at work creating some beautiful custom-made pieces - something he’s dedicated many years of craftsmanship to. Running your own business doesn’t leave much time to slow down, but it’s safe to say he’s been enjoying getting stuck into this project.

A true craftsman with years of experience and passion behind every piece 🔨
