Office Chair Repairs in Shoreditch & Old Street
The Aerons from your 2018 fit-out are hitting the sinking-seat years (right on schedule. That's not a reason to spend £1,200 a desk. It's one worn part, fitted at the desk in one visit) quoted per chair before we start.

The problem
Every scale-up office is a museum of funding rounds: Aerons from the good year, Leaps from the acquisition, a mystery mesh chair nobody claims. Now a third of them sink, wobble or won't lock, and the choice looks like living with it or a five-figure furniture order that's impossible to justify in this budget climate.
Why it happens
Chairs bought together fail together, gas-lift seals age like tyres, on mileage and time, not quality. An Aeron is built for two decades; its lift cartridge isn't, and it was never meant to be. The resellers who'd happily swap your 'worn out' fleet for refurbished stock know this better than anyone. It's how they get their stock.
How we fix it
The One-Visit Repair System: we carry the parts that actually fail (lifts, mechanisms, castors, arm pads, mesh) for the brands EC2A actually owns, and fix at the desk on your quiet day. Half-empty Friday works perfectly. Five chairs is a normal job here, not a small one. The 10-Point Chair Audit (free at 10+ chairs) sorts the whole menagerie: fix, fine, or retire.
Repair vs. replace
Replacing ten mixed premium chairs is a five-figure order. Repairing them is one Friday, on a fixed per-chair quote. And every repaired chair is one less chair in landfill, a real line for your B-Corp or ESG reporting, with per-chair figures supplied, not a warm feeling.
