Inspected More Than Used

Rooms are walked through weekly, sat in a few weeks a year. Leather dries out over a long heated winter, and cracks start where nobody looks. For leather repair Southampton owners rarely see, we check the pieces the caretaker walks past.

Questions Asked Second Hand

Can you work in the house if I'm not there?
Yes. Someone lets us in, often the caretaker.
Is my caretaker's description enough to quote?
Enough to start. We send back the photos we need.
How do I choose a color without seeing it?
Two samples on offcuts, photographed in daylight beside your piece.
Do you come out for a single chair?
Yes. Leather repair Southampton visits often turn one chair into three once the house is walked.
Can the piece leave and come back?
Yes, with written confirmation from you. See pickup and delivery.
Should we wait until summer?
Usually not. Curing and collection are easier in a closed house.
