Upholstery in Southend: Homeowners vs renters

For homeowners

If you own your home, you’re responsible for arranging and paying for upholstery repair or cleaning. Keep receipts and invoices for insurance purposes if the damage was caused by an incident like a leak or fire.

For renters

Upholstery in a rental property (like a sofa supplied by a landlord) is usually their responsibility. Report issues promptly and get written approval before arranging repairs yourself. For personal furniture, renters should book and pay directly.

Emergency upholstery in Southend

While upholstery isn’t usually an emergency, urgent problems can crop up. For example:

• Flood or fire damage to furniture
• Upholstery cleaning needed after accidents or spills
• Car seat upholstery repairs after sudden damage
