Repairs, Renovations and Reinventions
Welcome to Chessell’s Upholstery Renovations, where each piece of furniture is treated as a canvas for craftsmanship. We believe furniture tells stories—it sits with you through family gatherings, retreats you for quiet afternoons, witnesses life. Our mission is simple but powerful: to repair, renovate, and reinvent your cherished pieces with care, skill and a personal touch.
With over 10 years of experience in the upholstery industry, Tyler Chessell started his journey in Wimborne as an apprentice, mastering both traditional and modern techniques. From deep buttoning and templating to sewing and fine detailing, these formative years laid the foundations for precision and artistry. Eager to expand his expertise, Tyler completed a Diploma in Modern and Traditional Upholstery at London Metropolitan University, accredited by the Association of Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishers (AMUSF), after three immersive years of study and practice.
Based in Bournemouth, we proudly serve Christchurch, Poole, the New Forest, Dorset, and the entire South Coast. No location is too distant—collection, delivery and on-site installation are all part of the seamless service we provide. Every project, whether local or further afield, receives the same level of care and professionalism.
At Chessell’s, you’re not just hiring an upholsterer—you’re choosing a partner in design. We offer a full spectrum of services, including:
Restoration of Chesterfields, wingchairs, armchairs, dining chairs, footstools, bench seating, wall panels, scatter cushions, boat and car upholstery
Repairs to seats, backs, fabrics or leather—no tear too small, no detail overlooked

Customisable options: select your own materials or let us recommend trusted fabric and leather suppliers
Whether it’s a beloved family heirloom or a modern commission, each item is handled with care, bringing beauty and functionality back into your space.
Tyler’s commitment goes beyond skill—he’s driven by a love for craft and making clients smile. You’ll find transparency, collaboration, and genuine passion in every step of the process.
