Every piece treated as its own project

We work across all periods and materials — Georgian armchairs to 1970s modular sofas. If you're unsure whether a piece is worth restoring, a five-minute conversation will tell you.

Reupholstery

Stripped back to the frame, re-stuffed with quality materials, and covered in the fabric you choose — from your own cloth or ours.

Chadi's communication and workmanship were superb from start to finish. He visited the same week I called, gave me a clear quote with no hidden additions, and returned our Chesterfield looking better than it ever did. A craftsman who genuinely takes pride in the work.

A fab couple who clearly love what they do. We brought them a corner sofa we'd nearly given up on — they turned it around in under three weeks and the result is extraordinary. Honest, skilled, and lovely to deal with throughout.

I'd had my grandmother's armchair in storage for two years, unsure whether to keep it or let it go. I'm so glad I found Athole. They kept the original stuffing, matched the cord exactly, and returned it looking exactly as it should — just beautiful again.

Chadi working in the Athole Restorations workshop, Enfield

About

Family-run, Enfield-based, trained in the traditional methods

The business was started by Chadi and his partner after years of working in upholstery and furniture restoration across London. Based in Enfield since the business began, they bring a traditional approach to every piece — believing that quality furniture, made to last, deserves repairs that last equally as long.

Chadi trained in the traditional methods of upholstery and joinery, learning techniques that have changed little in a hundred years: hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, stitched edges. Every job is done by hand in the workshop, with materials sourced for quality over price.

They take on a limited number of jobs at a time so nothing is ever rushed. If a piece is worth keeping — and most are — it deserves that.
