If your leather sofa or chairs are looking tired, faded, or marked, you’ve come to the right place. We’re a family-run business providing professional leather cleaning and restoration across the North East, covering Durham, Tyne & Wear, Northumberland and North Yorkshire.
Leather needs a gentler touch than fabric — and that’s where we come in. Our technicians are trained in specialist leather care: deep cleaning, conditioning, recolouring, and restoring worn, scratched or cracked areas, all using safe, industry-approved products.
Leather isn’t something you can just spray and wipe. Our team are trained in the correct care methods for all furniture leather types including aniline, semi-aniline, pigmented, and bonded leathers.
We use specific leather care products that are designed to lift dirt and oils without stripping colour or drying the surface. After cleaning, we apply a conditioner that nourishes and protects the leather to keep it soft and prevent future cracking.
Cosmetic cracks, scratches and faded areas can often be recoloured and restored using our professional leather repair systems, matched to your sofa’s tone and texture.
We provide a warranty on our leather restoration work for 12 months so you can be confident we've done things right.

Cleaning removes dirt, oils and surface marks. Restoration goes further — treating faded, scratched or cracked leather with professional colourant and sealant to bring it back to life.
We’re careful not to overpromise. Deep cleaning and recolouring can make a dramatic difference, but results depend on the age and condition of the leather. We’ll always give you an honest idea of what to expect before we start.
Most standard leather sofa cleans take around 1.5–2 hours, while restoration (such as recolouring) can take 2–4 hours depending on how extensive it is.
Keep it away from direct sunlight and radiators, wipe up spills quickly, and avoid harsh household cleaners. We also offer a leather protection treatment that adds a soft barrier to resist spills, dye transfer and general wear. It keeps the colour looking richer for longer and makes future cleaning easier.
We offer services across the North East including Hartlepool, Durham, Darlington, and Newcastle, and we’re always happy to travel a bit further for a clean if you are a regular customer.
Yes. We will let you know when we are going to arrive well ahead of time so you can get on with your day. If there is going to be a delay, we'll always keep you in the loop to avoid any inconvenience.
