Cane chair repairs?

Please can anyone recommend a place in Brentford or Ealing where we could get our old cane armchairs collected and repaired? Had these old armchairs for yonks but over the years the grandchildren have gradually picked the cane bindings and they're getting a bit loose. :-(

There used to be(may still be there)a 2nd hand furniture shop that also did repairs just up the road from The Viaduct pub(worst Fuller's beer in W. London).It's by the bus stop heading east towards Hanwell broadway.I am not recommending them,as I have never taken anything there,but they may help.

Thanks ANGELA, I'll look 'em up in the phone book and give 'em a call.  ;-)

Red Lion Upholsterers, Churchfield Road in Acton are often recommended on ChiswickW4.com. It might be worth asking them if they repair cane chairs.

Thanks JIM, most kind of you. Our old cane chairs aren't worth the trouble of carting all the way to sunny Brighton, but thanks for the kind offer. Its time I splashed out on new armchairs anyway - these are 45 years old and long past their sell-by date...rather like me JIM!  ;-)PS: But if ever you're taking a car trip to VYBORG do please consider taking me as your navigator! Thanks again.
