Andrej you are a life saver! Andrej managed to not only supply an old Land Rover Defender key but he cut it to perfection. It was certainly a challenge as I walked in with one key which was snapped in half! Not only is Andrej a magician but he is a thoroughly nice guy too, thank you, will not go anywhere else.

Both the dry cleaning side and Andre (shoe repairs) are outstanding. I have just given Andre a really battered, loved, favourite pair of shoes, knowing that when he has worked his magic they will be completely restored and look amazing! Andre is brilliant at shoe repairs and a truly lovely bloke. Seriously, dont bother going anywhere else!

2 dresses and one pair of Trousers came back like new, despite having stains that I was sure wouldnt come out. They did an amazing job, highly recommended.
