What Our Customers Say…

We have many lovely customers who have been very happy with their new benches - here are just a few examples of what they have had to say…

Karen from Solihull, January 2024

John restored two benches that were in a state of disrepair. He has done an amazing job; the benches have been transformed sympathetically to their age and they look absolutely beautiful. John was also a pleasure to work with, he was extremely helpful and informative. He also collected & returned the benches to fit in with us. I highly recommend John and pass on sincere thanks for the great job he has done.

I am so pleased that I found Severn Seating! My teak garden bench had been deteriorating for years and I was despairing of finding anyone who would take on its repair. John and his team came to the rescue! Every part of the process was straightforward and stress-free, from initial visit, to collection, to final delivery. I now have a fully restored and beautiful bench and am looking forward to sitting in the garden next summer with a glass of wine and without worrying about the bench collapsing beneath me! 

Thank you so much to John and the team at Severn Seating. You will not find a lovelier group of people!

Thanks John! 😊
All best

Dear John
Thank you so much for the repair of our 2-seater garden bench. I said that I’d drop you this email containing a few positive words that you may wish to use.

“The internet is impersonal, but impressions are important and these were re-enforced through conversations with John. These revealed a trustworthy and dedicated artisan, who exceeded those first impressions by providing an excellent repair to our 2-seater garden bench. Replacing, treating and improving the style of the wooden slats, fitting new bolts, nuts and screws, cleaning and repainting of the cast ends were all completed beyond our expectations. The seat occupies pride of place and is a reflection of Johns exceptional work. This has been such a positive experience and John is to be commended and recommended to others”.

Again, John. thank you so much.

John (Of Severn Seating) restored a very old, tired station bench that was a gift to my father-in-law, as a gift for his 60th birthday. This was very sentimental as it was given to him by his father before he passed away. John sent regular updates whilst working on the bench, and did a fantastic job, completely bringing it back to life. It is now pride of place in their garden and will get a lot of use and love. Thanks, John, for such an incredible transformation, my father-in-law said it’s the best present he has ever received. I would highly recommend Severn Seating.
Thanks,
James

Charlie & Andrea, Southfields, London
Andrea and I are absolutely delighted with the restoration you did on our garden bench. You took something which was badly rusted and in bits and managed to restore it, so that it now looks like new. A really remarkable job of skilled restoration. This has allowed us to fully enjoy our front garden, where it sits proudly, enjoyed by us and admired by friends and neighbours alike. Whenever we are asked about it, we always cite Severn Seating and the professional manner and courtesy which you displayed. As cautious as I may have been initially about the collection and delivery from London to Gloucestershire, you more than reassured us and kept the costs well within our budget. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending you to everyone and to calling on you again, whenever the need arises.

May I wish you all the success you richly deserve.

Best wishes, Charlie & Andrea, Southfields, London.

John and team did a fantastic job on restoring my mother's beloved bench. 
It had got into such a sorry state and they have restored it well and truly to its former glory! If not even better! 

Fantastic job! Couldn’t be happier! 

Thank you all. :)

A review for you… 
Thank you so much to John and his team. My lovely chair had been handed down through the family and was in dire need of some attention. It has been restored to its former glory and is now happily back at home to be enjoyed once again for many years to come.

Thank you for a magnificent job. Also a big thank you for transporting such a weighty object to and from your workshop.

Very good service indeed.
