What We Care For

Specialist services, precise to the garment.

Every item that comes through our door is assessed individually — fabric, construction, stain type — before we decide how best to treat it.

Dry Cleaning

Suits, coats and everyday garments cleaned with our eco-conscious wet-cleaning system — kinder to fabric and the planet alike.

Wedding Dresses & Ball Gowns

Careful cleaning and preservation for the dress you'll want to keep looking its best for years to come.

Suede, Leather & Fur

Specialist treatment for materials that need a gentler, more experienced hand than a standard clean.

Curtains, Pelmets & Soft Furnishings

Full-drop cleaning and pressing for curtains of every size, returned looking — and hanging — like new.

Household Items

Duvets, electric blankets and sofa covers laundered thoroughly and ready to collect in-store.

Alterations & Repairs

Hemming, resizing and careful mending, so a well-loved garment can keep earning its place in your wardrobe.

Duvet Service

Same-day service on duvets — in by 10am, out by 4pm, cleaned and ready to collect.

Next Day Service

Drop off today and collect tomorrow on eligible items — quick turnaround without cutting corners.

Rug Doctor Hire

In-store hire of Rug Doctor carpet cleaning machines, for the jobs best tackled at home.

Craig now looks after all of our dry cleaning. He lifted a stubborn mark from a shirt that we thought was ruined, and is always efficient, professional and full of knowledge — down to which of his products are eco-friendly.
