Repair Cafe: Office Furniture

Member Events Public Events

Is your office, common room or meeting space afflicted by furniture that’s not working or damaged? Does your space suffer from swivel chairs that have lost their spin, missing castors or keys, wobbly tables, or desks with missing bolts?

Never fear! JPA Workspaces, one of UCL’s furniture suppliers, is offering repair consultations and, where possible, free repairs on the spot.

To extend the lifespan of your furniture, book a session with JPA Workspaces on 17th February. Their fitters will repair your furniture there and then if possible - if spare parts are needed this may be chargeable along with a return visit, but where possible fitters will use old spare parts without charge, which your fitters will advise you of on the day.

To book contact hello@jpa-workspaces.com and quote UCL Repair Day 17th February.
