How it works

Customers can find the right craftsperson without calling around. Upholsterers can choose relevant, exclusive enquiries without competing for the same contact details.

For customers

Find an upholsterer for your project

Share one clear enquiry and deal directly with the vetted member who accepts it. Upholstery Portal does not carry out the work or set the final quote.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us about the work

    Choose the service, describe your furniture, add photos and share your postcode and contact details. Requesting help is free and carries no obligation.

  2. Step 2

    A suitable member can choose your enquiry

    Approved members see enquiries matching their services. One upholsterer can accept each enquiry, so your details are never sold repeatedly.

  3. Step 3

    Speak directly with the upholsterer

    We tell you which business has accepted your enquiry. They receive your contact details and get in touch to discuss the work, price and timing.

  4. Step 4

    Review completed work

    After the job, your upholsterer can email you a private review link. Reviews submitted this way are marked as verified customer reviews.

For upholsterers

Join, get vetted and choose the work you want

Membership is £29 a month or £290 a year. Lead prices are shown before purchase and currently start at £8, based on job size.

  1. Step 1

    Create your business account

    Register, complete your profile and tell us which services and areas your workshop covers.

  2. Step 2

    Apply to become a vetted member

    Submit your insurance certificate, photo ID and two customer references. Your listing and lead access remain locked while the application is reviewed.

  3. Step 3

    Activate membership

    Once approved, choose £29 monthly or £290 yearly membership. An active membership unlocks your public listing and the matched lead board.

  4. Step 4

    Choose exclusive leads

    Browse enquiries matching your services and buy only the jobs you want. The first member to buy a lead gets the customer's details; no other member can then buy it.

Two sides, one clear connection

Customers never pay Upholstery Portal to submit an enquiry. Members pay for access and only unlock a customer's details when they choose that exclusive lead.
