Frank is just fantastic. My husband and I have a large American sofa and we wanted to get it up…read morefrom our recent move from the ground floor flat to the top floor flat. It would be impossible to get it upstairs internally... and even upholsters near by said they wouldn't take it apart for us. I found sofaassist.com on a Google Search and contacted Frank immediately. I sent over some pics of the sofa and windows from both properties along with measurements. Frank responded to me with a quote and even gave us a plan B quote if the sofa indeed had to be taken apart. We were quite excited to know we'd have our sofa in our new flat! On the day Frank and his assistant completed everything within an hour... just amazing! Frank is so friendly and professional. So easy to work with! Would definitely recommend getting in touch if you need to get a sofa into your flat!

What to do when the movers depart and your sofa is on the front lawn? Call Frank at Sofa Assist…read more(aka the sofa magician, as I now refer to him when I share the story)! All of my belongings were delivered from the US but the tiny door frame of the living room proved too much for the moving crew. I didn't think my new neighbours would appreciate my sofa on the lawn, but I had no idea where to turn. Enter a most fortuitous Google search, 'London sofa won't fit' and a few hours later thanks to Frank's skills, I am sitting on my sofa. Inside. Sofa Assist is worth every penny and you couldn't ask for a nicer, more patient person than Frank (who must see many like me in a stressful state!). If you are in need of getting a sofa in or out of a tight space, don't delay - call Sofa Assist today!

C & H Fabrics were founded in 1933 and are now concentrated in the south coast area. They are a…read moretraditional, old-fashioned fabric store, selling all sorts of things for the home. As others have said, the ground floor is a total mish-mash of things - a well ordered curtain section on the left, and an opportunistic mess on the right at the front, which can sell anything from women's shoes to hand-bags depending on what they've got in. Very strange. The Brighton store is set over three floors, and keeps a huge range of fabrics in stock, although the patterns tend to be traditional (lots of florals) rather than up-to-the-moment stylish. That said, they stock plenty of plain materials if you have a more minimalist flat: and anyway, chintzes are essential for gifts for great aunts. In the past I'd found service to be a strong point, but recently it seems to have become more of a mixed bag; when trying to buy curtains recently, I encountered an incredibly snotty saleswoman who could not have patronised me more if she had tried. Needless to say, it completely put me off buying anything here. Others are more helpful, but service can be a bit slow if they have a mini rush on (ie three people in one department at once). Getting in can be a problem, though: their very traditional opening hours feel rather limited these days - most shops in the area are open later (at least until 18h) and on Sundays, too. Good website, though.

A lovely, old fashioned shop. One of those places you go to as a last restort when you're looking…read morefor something, and find you should have come here first. They sell all kinds of curtains and fabrics, as well as a few other home decor related items,. and have a good sized craft section too. Anything to do with fabrics or sewing can be found here, and there's even an in store cafe.
