Last week, we got together about 250 Plumbs employees to take this aerial photo to commemorate our 50th year in business. It was a very cold day but luckily all the waving and many takes kept us all warm.

To celebrate our golden anniversary, we have created an exclusive new collection, honouring our 50 year heritage with a range of fabrics manufactured by British design houses.
Our collections include ‘Bijoux’, a new co-ordinated range of textured tweeds and crushed velvets following the very latest style trends for a combination of design and colour and ‘Timeless Classics’, an exciting new range which blends beautiful florals, plains, mini designs and stripes in co-ordinating room settings.
Autumn 2010 will see the release of a special ‘Prestige Collection’ showcasing the very best sellers from top British brand names such as Sandersons, Crowsons and Blendworth and ‘Venetian Palace’ – a top of the range, yet affordable, collection.
We have been producing and designing quality made-to-measure loose sofa covers and loose chair covers for half a century.
From the early days as a North West market stall, Plumbs have grown into the UK’s biggest supplier of loose covers and have diversified in recent years adding curtains and the highly skilled art of reupholstery to our range of services.
With 50 years under the belt and having covered 3 million suites to date, this family-run business have embraced five decades of home interior fashion from the vivid oranges of the 1960s, the elaborate and coordinated styles of the 1980s to the clean minimalist approach of the 1990s.

Transform your living room this Spring with loose covers from Plumbs. With hundreds of fabrics to choose from including cottons, linens, chenilles, easy care stretch fabrics plus luxury velvets, loose covers are ideal if you’re looking for a slightly more informal way to update your furniture.
Offering an alternative solution to replacing a tired sofa or chair, Plumbs loose covers are hand crafted from start to finish and made to measure, which means that they look, fit and feel as good, if not better, than the original upholstery. Plumbs even offer co-ordinating curtains!
From on-trend botanical prints and opulent purples and deep reds to countryside-inspired florals and natural fabrics, Plumbs diverse loose cover collections offer something for everyone.
If your furniture is over ten years old then re-upholstery could be the perfect way to bring a well-loved sofa or chair back to life. Re-upholstery allows you to keep all the original features of your existing furniture, including the shape, comfort and style, but in a brand new fabric.
Plumbs upholstering services range from standard recovering to complete reupholstery including any wooden features, studded work and button backs.

We’ve put together an article explaining a brief history of upholstery. For example, did you know that the term “upholder” is the archaic name for an upholsterer?
You can also learn about the The Worshipful Company of Upholders, one of the very first Livery Companies of the City of London.
