Who we are
Glover Bros has been selling upholstery supplies since 1899 and now serves over 2,000 customers throughout the UK and beyond. Most are re-upholstery and soft furnishing businesses but we also sell to furniture manufacturers, curtain fitters and designers, retail shops, antique restorers, cabinet makers and associated trades.

Colleges and teachers training the next generation of craftsmen and women form an important element of our customer base. We do not sell direct to students. For a list of retail distributors click here.

What we sell
We sell mainly bread and butter items such as fillings, foam, cloths, springs, tools, needles and sundry workroom items - in short everything the craftsman or woman needs for their upholstery and curtain work.

Our range of fabrics for upholstery and soft furnishing is growing fast and includes velvets, chenilles and tweed as well as linens, cottons and voiles.  We also offer leather, vinyl, marine vinyl, faux leather, and faux suede. To find what you want, please refer to side menu or use the search facility at the top of each page.

Where
Situated near Taunton we deliver weekly by our own vans throughout the South West. For van delivery area click here.

For our many customers throughout the rest of mainland UK we offer a next day carrier service. Orders received by 2.0pm are despatched the same day.

Offshore we deal with businesses in Orkney, Sark, Northern Ireland and the Scilly Isles. And in Continental Europe we serve a small but growing band of customers, several of whom have moved overseas but continue to buy their supplies from us.

How
Most orders are placed by telephone or fax. Some customers e-mail their orders, but we do not sell through this website.

We take great pride in our service, often described by customers as "second to none" . What makes it so is:

• We are able to meet 98% of orders from stock without keeping you waiting.
• If we do run out of something we ring you and tell you so you have the chance to look elsewhere if you need it urgently.
• If something you buy is not what you want we take it back (as long as it is in its original state).
• If you want something we don't sell we do all we can to get it for you.
• Everyone here is determined to ensure that you get the goods you need on time and in good condition.

Glover Bros have been suppliers to the upholstery and soft furnishing trades since 1899.
