Kim at Village Blinds is excellent, she made two large roman blinds for me and they are beautiful, they look even better than I had hoped for!

AnneMarie at Angel Upholstery on Melbourne Grove is wonderful, I could not recommend her more highly. She's charming, has a great range of fabrics and did an excellent job on a large armchair I had re-upholstered. 020 8693 4869

Be careful using J & B Impress on East Dulwich Road I have just had the most awful experience with them! We have taken shirts for ironing which have been adequate but recently took a lot of dry cleaning and a dress and new blouse were absolutely ruined. Both were cream and came back ash grey, the proprietor refused to apologise and claimed a stain on the back of the blouse was there before (mysteriously it had disappeared after the second clean...) She sent the clothes away to be cleaned again. When I collected them they were marginally improved but still ruined. Again she offered no apology and even told me I should be grateful for the favour she had done me. She even suggested one of her customers paid her an extra ?10 for doing such a good job on another garment they ruined!! Shocking service and very rude lady I will never send anything there again and would warn others to be very wary of their dry cleaning standards.
