Members of the Association of Master Upholsterers · Family run in Hengoed since 1980

Commercial upholstery

Fixed seating made in Wales, fitted out of hours.

A complete in-house service for manufacturing, restoration, repairs and re-upholstery of bar and restaurant seating, for venues from a 2-metre run to a full 150-metre project.

Bar & Restaurant Seating

Frame makers, cutters and machinists, all under one roof.

Newlook Upholstery are industry-leading specialists in custom bar and restaurant seating, offering a complete in-house service for manufacturing, restoration, repairs and re-upholstery. With over 45 years of experience, our team delivers high-quality, durable seating tailored to your venue.

Our talented team includes professional frame makers crafting durable frames with meticulous attention to detail, pattern-matching cutters ensuring precision and consistency in every design, and machinists providing top-quality sewing, twin-needling for leather work and quilted panelling. Because we manufacture everything in-house, we keep full control over quality, timescales and costs, unlike providers who outsource production. That means quick lead times and a seamless process from design to installation.

We are a trusted partner for bars, restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, cruise liners, schools, offices and licensed premises across the UK.

Fixed seating solutions

Our bespoke fixed seating is designed to match your venue exactly, from modern designs to traditional aesthetics, in leather and a wide selection of designer fabrics made for commercial use. If you already have fixed seating, our upholsterers can re-upholster and revitalise it for a completely refreshed look, a cost-effective upgrade without full replacement.

  • Complete package: design, frame making, upholstery and installation.
  • Upholstery only: ideal if you already have frames in place.

Our clients

Bars, restaurants, hotels, luxury cruise liners, nightclubs, corporate offices and reception areas, schools and local authorities, and licensed premises. Our reputation for craftsmanship and service is why many clients return time and time again.
