The 30 Best Custom alterations in London

“I had a pair of jeans altered and I couldn’t be happier. I needed help finding the right length and the chap couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. He pinned them up for me and made the options very clear. The shop was clean and tidy. I was charged a VERY reasonable price and had a lovely surprise when I was phoned the next day to say they were ready. The attention to detail is clear and you would not be able to tell they were taken up. I couldn’t be happier and would not hesitate to recommend. Thank you!”

““I had a great experience at this costume shop! They have a wide variety of costumes, from classic to creative designs, suitable for adults. The staff was very friendly and helpful, assisting me in finding the perfect costume and offering useful advice. The quality of the materials is great, and the costumes look exactly like the pictures. Prices are fair for the quality provided. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for high-quality costumes and excellent customer service.””

“Efficient, friendly, and a great haircut. Would definitely recommend”

“• Wedding Dress Cleaning Review • Professional, friendly and absolutely amazing service! I hadn’t had my wedding dress cleaned since my big day over 9 years ago. It had dirt marks along the hem from the wedding and had started to develop those strange yellow and black age stains where the dirt had begun to damage the fabric. They managed to remove all the stains and my dress now looks brand new. They even carefully removed the belt beforehand so the stones wouldn’t get damaged during cleaning, then re-sewed it back on perfectly afterwards. I’m so impressed with the result – highly recommend!”

“Good selection. Cheaper here than the Stratford outlet branch.”

“Fantastic customer service! Quick turn around time. Highly recommend”

“I’ve shopped at Harvie & Hudson for a couple of years now. The quality of their products I have bought are excellent, and my most recent purchase of a plain navy cotton jacket was no exception. Personally I find the staff very calm and well mannered. They give you space to peruse, and when asked they are incredibly helpful in giving you their expert advice on the look of the outfit, whether the pairing works, and also what alterations would be best. Overall exceptional products at reasonable prices. The staff are calm, professional and efficient with their help and advice.”

“I contacted the team via the website over the weekend and received a very quick response. I sent over photos of the job, got a quote, and the guys were able to fit me in at a time convenient for me. The team was on time, professional, and very courteous. My velvet sofa and moroccan rug look like new! Highly recommend!”

“Xpressing Cleaning Services were amazing for us! They were able to book us in on very short notice for an end of tenancy cleaning in our old flat, and their work was fantastic. Absolutely would come back to them in the future!”

“Excellent carpet cleaning service. Use Safeclean every year. Would highly rwcommend them.”

“Anas and the team at Magic Hand have done a brilliant job of cleaning my rugs and wallhanging - all of which had been gathering dust and dirt for a number of years! They removed every stain and had them looking like new again. Lovely, courteous guys too. Really recommend this excellent service.”

“I’ve been a loyal customer of Louise of Surrey Dry cleaners for a few years, and their service continues to impress me. They consistently go above and beyond, especially when it comes to alterations. They take the time to explore various solutions, clearly explaining each option to ensure the best fit and finish for my garments. A standout experience was when they managed to restore my favourite pair of heavily damaged suede trainers. After other local dry cleaners were unable to help, I had almost given up hope. However, they took on the challenge and returned them. Their expertise and dedication are truly commendable. They’re always friendly and attentive, ensuring that every item is treated with the utmost care. Their punctuality and attention to detail make them a top choice for anyone seeking reliable and high-quality dry cleaning services. I highly recommend Louise of Surrey to anyone in need of exceptional dry cleaning and tailoring services.”

“Ahmed is brilliant :) highly recommend the services. I needed my dress altered and after trying 4 different places with no luck, Ahmed altered my dress and had it ready in less than a day. Very professional and advised me on how to make it look better. He also dry cleaned a ton of clothes and altered 5 more trousers for next day collection. Extremely happy and will definitely be going back for more. Thank you”

“I have just realised that I have been a customer to HG for about 8 years - and I still say that he is my go-to for my jewellery, - he has made me several rings, earrings and necklaces. He continues to provide a fabulous service from beginning to end and i would highly recommend him.”

“Amazing! I came here last minute on Wednesday and needed my jean jacket dry cleaned for Friday. Amazing service. Owner originally was very transparent and said I could clean it myself at home to save money but I trusted him more than myself and also how kind he was I was happy to leave my jacket in his care. Will 100% be back.”

“They were efficient and worked hard. I am very pleased at the quality of work. They spent over 8 hours and have done an amazing job. Would thoroughly recommend Tariq and his team.”

“I've been going backwards and forwards trying to buy some jeans online from Rivet & Hide over about 6 weeks, but unable to get the fit I was looking for, basically because I didn't know what I was doing! So I finally decided to take the trip into London and go to Rivet & Hide in person, and I'm so glad I did. I was returning the 3rd pair I'd exchanged through their website and Adam in the London shop was amazing. He put me at ease and helped by chatting with me about what I was looking for and getting several different pairs of jeans for me to try. I can't fault the service these guys have given me from the first pair I purchased online to the in person service Adam gave in the London shop. I've now got exactly what I was hoping for and will definitely be back. Keep up the great work guys.”

“Fab first experience with Fur Fix Dog Spa and would highly recommend. Tony was excellent with making Polly feel at ease as normally when going for a groom she is anxious and comes out looking sad. Polly looks beautiful and enjoyed showing off her new look. Have to say was great to be able to check on her every so often and she her smiley face. Happy dog, happy client!”

“Brought in an ancient embroidered rug from Rajasthan that had been a throw on a sofa for decades to ask whether cleaning it was possible. Amazing, personal service from Baker Street Dry Cleaners from the get go! The staff recognised how delicate and precious the item was right away. Roop even called her mum to research the natural dyes that would have been used originally - particularly how stable they would be when cleaning and Surgit decided it was best to clean it himself carefully by hand! What more could you possibly ask?! Great service, expertise and attention to detail, kindness and lots of smiles. I couldn't be happier!”

“"I'm so happy with the service at this dry cleaning shop. They did an amazing job with my clothes. I brought in a few delicate items, and they came back looking brand new. The staff was also super friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back and would recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable dry cleaner.”

“Excellent work! They restiched my bag as the handle has come out. They do a perfect job. Highly recommended.”

“Great dry cleaners. They cleaned my white puffer coat that had a month old lipstick stain on it, I was so gutted thinking I ruined my barely worn coat but they were great. The process is also super easy, you just drop it off and pay at pick up. Sev is lovely and super friendly. 10/10 dry cleaners”

“Really lovely experience hiring suits from Impeccable for a wedding. They were helpful, accommodating and the suits were of excellent quality. Very pleased, 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Can’t rate Jack Bunneys and the team highly enough. Fantastic experience from first contact to returning the suits. Wonderfully knowledgeable and incredibly happy to run through every possible option, and able to take my vague thoughts and turn it into something tangible. Will always be sending people their way if they need to hire, truly excellent service throughout!”

“Didn't buy anything, but very friendly and helpful staff who discussed options for ring resizing. Will come again!”
