Established in 1983, this family-run upholstery and furniture restoration business has been thriving for 45 years in the West Midlands.
Specialising in upholstery, reupholstery, and bespoke furniture restoration—from modern suites to treasured antiques—it has earned an outstanding reputation for quality craftsmanship and personalised service.
Serving both domestic and commercial clients, the business handles everything from simple cushion repairs (with a 5-year guarantee) to prestigious projects for restaurants, offices, theatres, and the marine and defence sectors. Additional services include French polishing and customisation.
Based in Birmingham, the business operates from a well-presented unit featuring a showroom that displays completed work and pattern books. Known for its loyal repeat customers and strong word-of-mouth referrals, this offers a prime retirement sale opportunity for a new owner to build on a legacy of excellence.
With robust equipment, a proven business model, and a prime location, this is an ideal opportunity for someone looking to take over a successful and profitable enterprise. The current owner is willing to provide a transition period of up to one year.
Operating from a well-presented shop in Hall Green, Birmingham, the premises feature a shop floor showcasing finished projects and pattern books, supported by modern equipment and a warehouse-style workshop.
The business is run by the owner and a small team (2 full-time and 1 part-time employee), ensuring personal, high-quality service.
With free estimates, expert advice, and a focus on using customers’ chosen materials, it has consistently delivered exceptional results for both domestic and commercial clients.
All tools, machinery, and equipment—including specialised diagnostic and maintenance systems—are included in the sale, making it a turnkey operation with minimal additional investment.
There is significant scope for expansion in this established business. Enhanced marketing efforts, via digital channels, local advertising, and social media, could attract new customers and further boost word-of-mouth referrals.
The business’s strong reputation and loyal client base create opportunities to increase both volume and value of repeat work, while hiring additional skilled technicians could expand capacity for larger contracts, particularly in commercial sectors such as restaurants, offices, and public institutions.
Furthermore, geographical growth within the West Midlands and beyond is feasible given the business’s track record.
The potential to diversify services, for example by adding ancillary offerings like upholstery-related accessories or consultancy services, provides additional revenue streams.
