PORTLAND / YOUR SEATING BRIEF
Keep the original shape in the brief.
A RIB backrest can appear simple until its side taper, curved base or attachment recess is visible. For a Portland enquiry, photograph loose pads from the front, side and underside. Keep the original orientation marked, particularly where several similar pads are involved.
If a pad has already been recovered, explain which parts of the fit you want changed. The current cover may not represent the desired shape. Josh can assess the base, support and accepted pattern together, then agree whether a repair, new panel or complete recover is the practical next step.

FAST QUOTES & UK-WIDE COURIER
From your first photograph.
To a carefully planned return.
We coordinate the accepted work, agreed installation and logistics with clear next steps. Portland enquiries are served through agreed collection and visit arrangements; this is not a local branch or showroom.
- 01
Photographs first.
Send your Portland postcode, a whole-set photograph, the number of pieces and the change you want. Include preferred dates so the brief starts with your actual plans.
- 02
Agree the fit.
Josh confirms whether labelled originals, measurements, supplied pattern material or an agreed visit are suitable. Do not discard old pieces or send furniture before that route is agreed.
- 03
Collection & return.
Same-day UK courier collection can be discussed, subject to the route, booking and availability. Packing, transport costs, manufacture and return dates are agreed separately; same-day collection does not mean same-day manufacture.
BEFORE WE BEGIN
The practical details.
Should I remove the old cover before sending a RIB pad?
Check with Josh first. The assembled original often helps explain the existing fit and construction. Keep all layers and labels until the assessment and accepted collection scope are agreed.
What should I send for a Portland quote?
Share your postcode, photographs of the complete arrangement and the three details above. Include the piece count, condition and preferred dates. Josh will confirm the scope, material options and pattern or collection route.
Can I keep my existing filling?
Its condition, shape, support and compatibility with the replacement cover need checking. Show the inserts and covers together. Retaining suitable filling or replacing it can be included in the agreed specification.
How do I approve the final fabric?
Explore Spradling, Sunbrella & Agora, then confirm the exact range and physical samples with Josh. Colour, texture, application, availability and the appropriate care guidance form part of the specification before manufacture.
