Specialist clothing kept on the right route
Careful handover for important garments
Wedding dresses, tailored clothing and delicate occasion wear need more information at handover than a routine laundry bag. We can collect specialist garments in Cockfosters or receive them through direct drop-off. For wedding dress cleaning, point out hem dirt, spills, make-up marks, loose decoration and damaged areas. For dry cleaning, show us the care label and any trims or structured sections. We record these details and arrange the relevant specialist route. Avoid rubbing stains or applying household products before collection, as this may affect the fabric and make later assessment harder.
Alteration instructions need to be precise
Customers in Cockfosters can also arrange clothing alterations through our third-party tailor. Keep alteration items apart from cleaning and explain the exact fit change you want, such as a shorter hem, adjusted waist or changed sleeve length. Fabric, seams, lining and available material determine what is practical. If one garment needs both cleaning and alteration, tell us at booking so the order of work can be considered. Provide an item count, your address and clear access instructions for collection, or bring the garments directly to our handover point.
