We knew Plumbs were market leaders in furniture refurbishment so we had high expectations. You did not disappoint. From the consultation with your expert who advised on all sorts of things as well as colourways (using his interior design background) we progressed the order. The sofa was picked up on time to fit in with a month away and then returned to us on time and with a fantastic new look!
Only small thing was paying the balance before seeing the final goods - something you might want to look at. Appreciate you need to protect your own interests but you should have confidence in your customers!! As we had confidence in you. Super job!

Their curtains are superb and so is their service.
But that's as far as it goes.Their fitting is awful.After a few weeks the curtain supports started to sag in the middle and you could no longer slide the curtains open and shut freely,they just stick.
You can also not shut the curtains properly because of the problems I have identified and there remains a V shaped gap where the top of these curtains meet.
They did come back to try and fix these problems but failed to do so.
Sadly, when it comes to Plumbs I would say AVOID.

A comfortable and beautiful armchair once again

Everything went well from beginning to end. It was easy to book online, the local rep visited shortly after with colour swatches, the job was booked in and the upholsterer collected my chair a week later. The chair was returned within a month, with the frame repaired and covered. The workmanship was excellent and I now have a comfortable and beautiful armchair.

Very polite, skilled and clean operatives
When the chair cover didn’t fit properly at the first fitting it was no problem for them to re measure and get it sorted very quickly

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We apologise for the issues you’ve experienced.

We do hope the team has been efficient in resolving the problem for you, and that you’re happy with the end result.

Mrs Janes(?) was very helpful without being "pushy".
Even when I phoned with my doubts she was encouraging.
We are absolutely thrilled with our 3 piece. I keep going in the room to look and marvel at it.

Excellent service and good quality covers.

Terry from Plumbs was so kind, patient and helpful when he advised us with choosing the fabric. He communicated well at all times so we understood when and what would happen with our order.
