Dry cleaning, laundry and alterations in Halstead

An independent, family-run cleaners right in the heart of Halstead, just off the High Street, since the 1980s. Shoe repairs too. Free parking outside, or we can collect and deliver for free locally.

What we do

Some of what comes in is everyday: shirts, a winter coat, a duvet. Some of it is more unusual. It all gets the same care.

Dry cleaning

Suits, dresses, coats, knitwear and silks. We check every item when it comes in, treat any marks, then clean, press and hang it ready to wear.

  • Suits, jackets and trousers
  • Dresses, blouses and knitwear
  • Wool, down and leather coats
  • Curtains, throws and soft furnishings

Laundry and ironing

Washed, dried and ironed, or just pressed if you've done the washing yourself. Duvets and pillows come back fresh and vacuum-packed, so they take up half the space in the cupboard.

  • Bedding and everyday clothing
  • Press-only service available
  • Duvets vacuum-packed for space and freshness
  • Unusual items welcome: small rugs, pet bedding, large soft toys

Alterations and repairs

Hems, zips, buttons, taking in and letting out. Our seamstress has years of experience and has rescued plenty of things people thought were beyond saving. If you're not sure, bring it in and ask.

  • Trousers and skirts shortened or lengthened
  • Zips replaced, buttons and linings repaired
  • Jackets and dresses taken in or let out
  • Leather, vintage and the hard-to-match

Shoe repairs

Heels, soles, stitching and a proper polish. Drop your shoes in with your dry cleaning and pick everything up together. Good shoes are worth repairing, and it's usually a good deal cheaper than replacing them.

  • Heels and tips replaced
  • Half and full soles
  • Stitching, patches and elastic
  • Clean and polish, including suede

Wedding dresses

A wedding dress picks up a lot in one day: grass, wine, make-up, a hem dragged across the dance floor. We specialise in cleaning them, by hand where needed, and boxing them so they keep. We also clean and restore dresses that have been stored away for years.

  • Cleaning and stain removal
  • Restoration of older or yellowed dresses
  • Boxed and tissue-wrapped for storage

About us

We opened in The Centre, just off Halstead High Street, in the 1980s and we're still here, still family-run, still doing the work ourselves. There's no franchise behind us and no call centre. If you ring the shop, one of us picks up.

Many of our customers have been coming in for twenty or thirty years. We've cleaned their wedding dresses, their children's school blazers, and the same winter coat every year. We know most people by name, and we like it that way.

Find us

Right in the heart of Halstead, in The Centre just off the High Street, with free parking outside the door.
