Re-cover chesterfield style sofas

I have 2 chesterfield style sofas that are showing signs of their age! The basic framework and springs are fine, but the upholstery fabric is wearing thin and looking tatty. The design is Tetrad Chelsea seen here . I would like to get them re-covered, but due to the design they are not suitable for normal loose covers, so I'm assuming I will have to have them custom-made.
Does anyone know of a company that can do this?
I am loath to have them totally re-upholstered, partly due to the expense, but mainly because it would mean loosing my furniture while the work was being done.

    You could try contacting your local college that teaches Upholstery, and see if a competent student wanted to take it/them on as a project. You would only have to pay for materials!
