Suite covers

Our cat has seriously clawed our 3-piece suite purchased 12 years ago and still in great condition. . . apart from having been shredded.
We're considering replacing it BUT we had enough problems getting the suite into our townhouse property -- it took a mini-JCB to lift it airborne and then the glazier had to take out the window of our 1st floor lounge. Wot fun, not.
So. . . we thought: why not have it re-covered?
We've looked in various magazines for adverts but haven't got very far -- yesterday's Times mag had a double page ad but it was from a company run by half-wits who think it's still 1959 instead of 2009, so the ad was presented in the form of a newspaper report, complete with phony by-line, and lots of gushing praise from a non-existent journalist.
Gawd. Why do they bother??:rotfl:
Can anyone on here recommend a firm specialising in suite covers / re-covering? And likely costs?
Thanks!

You really should be looking at local re-upholstery firms. Anyone who advertises in the national newspapers/magazines is going to cost a lot more than a local company.0
