Hello, I’m Lee.

(& let’s not forget Marnie!) ❤️

A bit about Lee.

I’m Lee — an upholsterer with over 35 years of experience in the trade, based in Cobham, Surrey. Since I can remember, from younger years on the Isle of Wight to my later work across south-east England, I’ve always found something immensely satisfying about the process of restoring tired loved furniture.

From antique restorations to modern pieces, my career to date has gifted me the opportunity to work with a huge range of businesses. While the list is too long to include in full, highlights would certainly include The Queen’s Flight, Harrods, Waterstones, Gulfstream Aerospace, multiple film productions, and several of London’s pubs.

Upholstery is more than just a trade to me — it’s a craft that requires patience, precision, and an eye for detail. I take great pride in the skills I’ve developed and strong relationships with trusted suppliers I’ve built over the decades. Every piece I work on is approached with care. In 2020, I took the leap and set up my own business. Since then, Surrey Hills Upholstery has flourished, taking on exciting projects and growing a loyal client base.

A bit more about Surrey Hills Upholstery.

Surrey Hills Upholstery is built on a passion for craftsmanship, where we transform well-loved furniture into pieces that are beautiful, functional, and durable.

To date, we’ve served hundreds of clients — cherished family heirlooms, local businesses looking to take the more cost-efficient and eco-conscious route of restoring rather than buying new, and major brands across the UK. Our work includes both domestic upholstery and large-scale commercial upholstery projects, from restorations to bulk-built seating. Whether it’s a personal piece or a full interior fit-out, we approach every job with expertise and dedication.

We work with homeowners and businesses across Surrey — including Cobham, Stoke D'Abernon, Oxshott, Horsley, Weybridge, Esher, Thames Ditton, Claygate and more — as well as London, across the UK, and occasionally even internationally.
