Contract Furniture & Reupholsteryin Norwichby our local workshop
Our workshop is on Elvin Way (NR3). We're the local team specifying, manufacturing, upholstering and installing commercial furniture across Norwich and the wider Norfolk region.
Local to Norwich; based in Norwich
Red Kite Furniture is not a national brand with a Norwich number. The workshop is on Elvin Way in NR3, five minutes from the ring road, and everything we manufacture, upholster or spray leaves from that unit. Norwich clients get the shortest possible lead times, straightforward site visits, and a team that already knows the loading bays, service lifts and one-way systems of the city centre and Riverside.
We've worked across the Golden Triangle, the Lanes, Tombland, Chapelfield, St Benedict's, Norwich Business Park, the University of East Anglia and the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital corridor. We know which restaurants close on which nights, which venues need overnight installs, and which listed frontages need particular care getting large banquettes in through narrow doors.
For Norfolk operators the practical benefit is speed. Site surveys are usually same-day or next-day. On-site reupholstery jobs can be scheduled tightly around trading hours because we're not driving three hours each way. Deliveries are direct; no third-party couriers or missed windows.

Common Norwich furniture issues we're asked to fix
Norwich is a mixed city: medieval and Georgian frontages in the centre, Victorian terraces around the Golden Triangle, mid-century civic buildings, and newer commercial units on the ring road and business parks. Each stock throws up its own furniture problems.
Listed and period city-centre frontages
Doorway restrictions in Tombland, Elm Hill and the Lanes mean large banquettes and reception desks have to be built in sections and joined on site. We survey access before manufacture so pieces route through without damage to protected fabric.
High-volume city-centre hospitality wear
Norwich has a dense hospitality scene doing serious covers. Domestic-grade dining chairs and banquettes fail inside 12 months. We rebuild frames and re-upholster to contract-grade foam density and Crib 5 fabric.
Older healthcare and dental estates
Dental chairs and clinical seating in long-established practices often need vinyl recovers rather than replacement: cheaper, faster, and keeps the surgery open.
Coastal salt-air corrosion nearby
Hotels and restaurants along the North Norfolk coast see fixings corrode and metal frames pit within a few seasons. We spec stainless or powder-coated fittings and marine-suitable fabrics on request.
Simple to start. Precise to finish.
