Reupholstering Ward Furniture: A Smart, Sustainable Choice for Healthcare Environments

Improve Infection Control, Cut Costs, and Extend the Life of Your Assets

Healthcare facilities across the UK face mounting pressure to meet strict hygiene standards, reduce environmental impact, and work within increasingly tight budgets. While many hospitals invest heavily in clinical equipment and infrastructure, ward furniture—used day in, day out by both patients and staff—is often overlooked.

Instead of replacing tired or worn-out furniture, more NHS trusts and care providers are turning to professional reupholstery as a smarter, more sustainable alternative. At Grosvenor Contracts, we offer a specialist healthcare reupholstery service designed to meet the unique demands of clinical environments.

💷 Cost-Efficient Without Compromising on Quality

Replacing furniture across wards, waiting areas, and staff offices can be expensive and disruptive. Reupholstery offers a significant cost saving—often up to 70% cheaper than buying new—while extending the usable life of your existing assets. Our in-house team restores each piece to a high-quality, like-new condition, ensuring comfort and performance without the hefty price tag.

🌍 A Sustainable Solution

Reupholstery plays a key role in supporting your Trust’s sustainability goals. By refurbishing existing chairs, benches, and soft furnishings, you divert waste from landfill, reduce the demand for new materials, and lower your carbon footprint. It’s a practical way to support the NHS Net Zero initiative and demonstrate environmental responsibility.

🦠 Improved Infection Control

We use healthcare-grade, antimicrobial, and wipe-clean fabrics that meet NHS standards for hygiene and safety. Whether it’s seating in a high-traffic waiting room or specialist furniture on a ward, our reupholstery service ensures every item is easy to clean, resistant to bacteria, and compliant with infection prevention policies.

🎨 Custom Finishes to Suit Any Setting

With a wide range of high-performance fabrics available—including fire-retardant and waterproof options—you can customise reupholstered pieces to suit your colour schemes, branding, or patient environment. Whether calming tones for dementia care or bold branding for reception areas, the choice is yours.

👨‍🔧 Reliable Service by In-House Experts

All work is completed by our experienced, DBS-checked in-house technicians. We handle everything from collection and refurbishment to reinstallation, ensuring minimal disruption to your operations and fast turnaround times.
