Dry Cleaners & Repairs


Recommended Posts

Its a thumbs down from me on the service at the Drycleaners in Upland Rd. Left a dress there for a new zip weeks ago - went back a week later and was told it wasn't ready and to come back the following week, which I did - to find it closed for building work - contacted the mob number posted outside - no response - finally managed to collect yesterday - and when I pointed out the poor service - politely - I was told that I should have made more effort to get it back! At no point had he left me a message to say when it could be collected etc Man was rude unhelpful and only offered an apology reluctantly - took no responsibility at all - I would have been ok with an acnowledgement and an apology - instead left feeling very cross and using the forum for a negative report - just beware of what type of response you will get if you have a problem with their service....

Oh these guys are great - I'm really surprised but to be fair they rarely close for long periods and they looked to be having lots of things done. I just popped when it was closed, saw the owner and he let me have my stuff althought they were closed. The lady that does the repairs does a sterling job.

Only just read this - closing before 5pm? I've never known that to happen in all the 30 years I have known of the Cleaners. I think they close for 1pm on Wednesdays and perhaps are a little later than their 8am service they use to do years ago but most cleaners have similar hours. I think their standard of work and reputation stand them apart and I think its also better to speak to them face to face. Did you explain you were dis-satisfied or give them an opportunity to explain. Building work is a stressful time and the building looks good for it. I hope they continue to be around for years to come.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
