Let's talk about it
Hi, I'm Steve
A lot of you will know me from working for Neil Sloan in Waipukurau.
What you probably don't know is I completed my motor trimming apprenticeship in 1985 with Len Shailer Ltd in Palmerston North and have worked for Paul Yerex in Rotorua & Beacham Jaguar in Havelock North. In 2003 on a whim I saw an advert for an exciting new opportunity to work for one of the most iconic and best names in the region. My family and I moved to Waipukurau to work with Neil at Sloans Saddlery. 20 years later, I almost consider myself to be a local.
Throughout my almost 40 years in the trade, I have mastered
- Motor Trimming
- Furniture Upholstery
- Canvas work
- Shade sails
- Farm and Boat
- Leather work and smallgoods
- Squabs and Caravan fitting
- Carpet overlocking
Just to name a few.
Now, my own boss I look forward to continuing to help you out.
I am always on the look out for unusual pieces of furniture in need of some TLC. I'm a bit of a one man repair shop. I encourage you to come see me if you have something thats been hidden away.
What I Can do
Furniture Upholstery
Have a sentimental family piece in need of some TLC?
Cushioning collapsed in your favourite chair?
Not only can I recover, but I can replace or repair springs
and foam cushioning to breathe new life into any and all
furniture.
This is an example of my work, with the dining chair before and after.
Auto Upholstery
From full motor trimming restorations to renewing/repairing farm vehicles. Seat restoration, headlinings, door panels, covertibles, campervans, floor mats etc, there is nothing in a vehicle I cant do.
Canvas and PVC Work
Need something durable, that can live its whole life outside without needing to be replaced every 12 months? I can design and fit it. Truck tarps, equipment covers eg sheep scales, spray units. Helicopter monsoon buckets
Supporting Local
Centralines approached us about making replacement glove bags for their workers.
Made in heavy duty canvas, with buckles make for easy access.
This is an example of what I can do for them, if you have any requests for your own business/farm please reach out and we'll see what we can do.
