Furniture Clinic is a furniture restoration specialist that manufactures a range of trade and retail products for leather, fabric and wood. As well as being utilised by a nationwide network of technicians, its products are increasingly being employed by other trade professionals to offer customers their own repair solutions.
Furniture Clinic’s professionally-proven repair products present retailers with handy opportunities to fix damaged furniture, rather than replace it, lowering the costs involved for all parties – and these products can even be rebranded to suit.
For any business looking to offer leather restoration as a service, Furniture Clinic offers professional leather training courses (with trade discounts). These courses – which Furniture Clinic says are globally endorsed and approved, and are considered by many to be the best in the industry – are delivered in the company’s own training facility, situated within its 16500 sqft premises in Newcastle upon Tyne, where the company manufactures its repair products.
Its dedicated training room offers a fully-equipped and functional workshop, putting a custom spray room at users’ disposal. Furniture Clinic provides trainees with all the tools, products and samples they need, so there is no need for them to bring their own.
Around 50 staff work in Furniture Clinic’s head office team, including dedicated trade account teams for the UK and international customers, plus technical and training, and research and development departments.
Looking further afield, there is Furniture Clinic’s National Repair Service, which is a major UK provider to home insurance and warranty companies.
Many retailers and manufacturers assume furniture damage – such as a rip or burn in a leather sofa – cannot be repaired, but Furniture Clinic’s technicians can carry out seamless repairs, often in the customer’s home. This includes all types of furniture repair, from leather and general upholstery to beds, wooden items and leather panel replacement.
Furniture Clinic states that its website generates over 6000 enquiries a year for repairs – and these, too, are handled by its National Repair Service, a network of the company’s own branches and independent companies.
Furniture Clinic is always on the look-out for reliable partners to carry out work on its behalf, in all areas of the UK. Approved partners benefit from further product discounts off trade prices, and the opportunity for extra work. Some may even consider the further benefits of becoming a fully-fledged Furniture Clinic franchise, which include numerous additional advantages.
