A saloon sofa and an open cockpit belong to the same boat, but the upholstery brief should explain how each space is used. Start with separate photographs, cushion labels and the changes you want to make to comfort and finish.
A marina name is the beginning of the practical brief.
Share the exact berth or yard, an access contact and the dates when the boat is available. Tell Josh whether the commission concerns cockpit cushions, interior seating or a helm seat. Access routes and removable pieces determine how assessment and transport can be planned.
02Separate the spaces+
Keep the interior and cockpit requirements distinct.
Document each zone separately, including corners, backrest positions and accessible attachments. Sheltered interior seating and exposed cockpit cushions can call for different materials and construction. Explain how the boat is used rather than choosing solely from a colour shown on a screen.
03Consider support+
Renew the support beneath the finish.
Show sagging, collapsed edges or foam that no longer fills the cover. Discuss covers only, covers with new foam or a more extensive seat assessment. Any change to firmness, thickness or panel arrangement is approved around the actual seating.
04Plan the pattern route+
Plan a remote commission without losing the detail.
Suitable removable pieces can be collected through an agreed courier plan. Existing covers, labelled measurements and template material may help establish the reference, depending on the project. Visits and fitting at an Ipswich location are arranged individually, with no local office or marina partnership implied.

BEFORE WORK BEGINS
Practical answers.
Should interior and cockpit cushions use the same fabric?
You can explore a coordinated palette, but each exact collection and construction needs to suit its application. Tell Josh which areas are sheltered, which are exposed and how the pieces are stored. Physical samples help bring the visual choices together.
Can you plan the work while my boat stays in Ipswich?
Start remotely with photographs and a clear location. Suitable removable pieces may follow an agreed collection route; fixed seating, visits and fitting need individual arrangements. Access, pattern references and return responsibilities are confirmed before booking.
Can I send my cushions instead of bringing the boat?
For suitable removable pieces, yes: agree identification, packing, pattern references and return arrangements with Josh first. Fixed components need an individual removal plan.
Do you offer same-day courier collection?
Same-day UK courier collection is available by confirmed booking. Collection availability, transport costs and addresses are agreed individually; this does not mean same-day manufacture.
Do you send pattern material?
Where a paper-template route is appropriate, pattern material and instructions can be arranged. Agree what to trace, orientation, labels and fixing references before making or returning a pattern.
What do you need for a quotation?
Send whole-area and detail photographs, boat location, piece count, desired changes and intended dates. Include accessible underside or fixing views where safe. The scope is assessed before materials, logistics and dates are agreed.
Fast quotes & UK-wide courier: send photographs and the boat’s location. We specialise in cushion collection for boats, large yachts and superyachts, with UK and EU logistics agreed individually.
