Rib Upholstery - Scotland

Ashton · 10 September 2009, 08:50

Can anyone recommend an upholsterer to recover the seating on my rib?

Ideally they would be based West/Central Scotland, provide good value personal service......

Thanks.

I can't recommend anyone from experience, but a new trademember, ScotSeats, recently joined here from that part of the world. They supply seats to Redbay. I assume they can do re-upolstery too?

Might be worth talking to Owen Sails, Benderloch. I got some vinyl off them a while back. They had loads of shaped foam for jockey seats etc. and said they did a lot of work for RIBs.

Depends on where you are but Sally at Jessail does a very good job, does good covers as well. Her number is 07771 970 578.

I provided the bit of wood and a local upholsterer near Lochgilphead did mine for around £20 each. Been on a year with no problems.

I've used Sally at Jessail to recover RIB seats - she's very good and reasonably prriced, but she does get very busy, so it can take a while to get the work completed.

I can't remember his name or number at the moment but he is based halfway between Cairnbaan and Crinan.
He does all upholstery including motorcycles, settees etc, a real old fashioned type business where you can get anything done. If I can remember his number I'll post it, I usually just dropped in when I am passing to drop off and pick up on a very irregular basis if I am passing.

hi guys,
I've been busy, so hadn't seen this, - yep, I'd go with the guy at Bellanoch on the crinan canal - I'll go round that way in a day or so and get the details, I chatted to him ages ago, and he said lots of his work was boat based stuff -
he's in the next building to Tim that sells boats, goes under Atlantic ribs,

Do you mean "Atlantic RIBs" at Ballanach Garage Crinan. Phone 07900 654 862. Think there was something in Oban Times a week or so ago about him moving premises.

jambo · 10 September 2009, 22:01

Yea Tim of Atlantic Ribs is moving but the upolsterer is not he is in a different building.
