In a nutshell, a commission is you and Rain City working together to make your furniture restoration or design come to life. We can work closely together on choosing fabrics, creating designs and revamping your pieces. Alternatively, with your trust we can take the reins and create you something beautiful and totally unique.

Every piece needs different care and time spent on it. With that said, the cost is different from piece to piece. In each quote you will see a clear breakdown of the labour cost, material cost and fabric cost. When you’re happy with the quote, a 25% deposit is required to book you into our diary, get materials and fabric ordered and get started.

The best way to get in touch with us about your treasured piece is to fill in the online request form along with a photograph of your furniture. Once we’ve received this, we’ll give you a call and have a chat.

Each piece is different and so the time it takes reflects that. It’s not just about size, sometimes pieces with complicated patterned fabrics or pieces that need additional restoration as well as reupholstering take more time. Once your furniture has been assessed for restoration, fabric has been chosen and you have had your design consultation we will be able to give you a ‘going home’ date.

Don’t worry, we’ve got you! We like to work with our clients to come up with designs together. Even if you think you don’t know, you probably have designs, trends and colours you will like. What we’ll do is talk through possible designs, fabrics, colours and themes to make sure they suit you and your home.

First thing to do is send us a photo. We want to make sure we can help you and have the skills to redesign your piece. Then we’ll have a design consultation and discuss potential timescales and estimated costs. Once we’re all happy we’ll send over a quote. A 25% deposit will get things started. Then the magic starts! We’ll work on your treasured piece and keep you updated throughout the process and let you know if there are any changes to time, cost or design. Once we’re done, we’ll send you a final invoice. Before you can collect or receive your finished piece, you’ll need to pay your invoice in full. Then all you have to do is enjoy your new piece! Don’t forget to send us photos!

Of course! Sometimes it’s actually more cost-effective that way, we have partnerships with lots of different designers, manufacturers and wholesalers.

We love that you’re someone who knows what they like! If you want to us to use your fabric to reupholster a piece then it must be compliant with current FR regulations. It will need to be upholstery fabric, have cigarette and match flame testing, we’ll need to know if the rub test is right for your planned use and you’ll need to have the certificate for all of these from the manufacturer. If you don’t have all of this information, then we’re sorry but we cant use it. Our insurance will not cover its use and more importantly, your home insurance might not either if there was a fire.

We don’t have a delivery service in house. It’s down to you to send us your treasured pieces for us to redesign. If you would like, we can arrange for your pieces to be collected and dropped off by a third party courier for an additional fee.

We’re based in Stockport, Greater Manchester. If your local come and see us!
