Dry cleaners

I have been using East Dulwich Dry Cleaners for years and they always did good job for me.


The one near ED Tavern was doggy. Once I brought a pair of trousers for alteration. They were not done to the requested size so I brought them back. When I came to collect, the owner claimed that they were a different pair of trousers (unbelievable !) and forced me to pay alteration fee again before let me had my trousers back ! No matter how I explained to them they just didn't want to listen.


Never stepped into that door ever again.

Depending on how long ago this took place, I've a feeling it is no longer the same owner.

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.

I would definitely guard against using J&B Impress. I took a brand new cashmere jumper in last week. When I went to collect it this week they had mysteriously 'lost' it even though they had all the other cheaper, older items I had taken in at the same time. I showed them the receipt with the cost and date. They were totally unapologetic and very rude and said that whilst they have to compensate for damaged items, they don't have to do anything for lost items.


Only when I suggested I should report it to the police because, in that case, there is nothing to stop them just stealing items of clothing they take a liking to did they offer to give me part of the money for the jumper. But this was still well short of the cost of the item.


I will report them to Southwark trading standards because, even though one case probably won't make a difference, I am hopeful that if others who have had bad experiences also report them, then maybe something will get done. [email protected]

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
