Professional curtain alterations service near me
Five Elms Dry Cleaners are expert when it comes to alterations. Unlike most dry cleaners who outsource their alterations, all of ours are done in house on our machines with a tailor on hand to give advice and explain the work that will be carried out.
Alterations is an in demand skill, which is why you need a fully experience seamstress to ensure your curtains are cut equally along the bottom, and hemmed properly with an invisible stitch. It’s those little things that make Five Elms Dry Cleaners the most popular place around for curtain alterations.
Curtain Adjustments
We offer a range of curtain alterations for all types of curtains. Wether you have blackout curtains, silk fabric curtains or net curtains, we are able to help you with all your curtain alteration needs.
The types of alterations and repairs we offer include shortening or lengthening curtains, hemming bottoms of curtains, replacing the lining of a curtain, adding curtain tracks for rails and much more.
We also offer tape replacement and general repairs. If your alteration is complex, or you think the fabric is difficult to work with, feel free to call us for a deeper explanation of how we can help you get the curtains of your dreams.
Curtain Shortening Service
Our most popular service is for curtain shortening, a service we are most skilled at. We are able to shorten most fabrics, including the tricky ones like velvet or the most delicate materials like silk.
Shortening curtains requires space and time, so make sure when bringing in your curtain you have something to cover your window with while the work is done.
Net curtains are tricky for shortening as most of them have a boarded hem, meaning the length required taken off will have to be removed from the top. For blackout curtains, the fabric can be tough so the needle may need to be changed on the machine resulting in longer waiting times.
Overall, we aim to complete curtain shortening services within 7 working days, and you will always receive a text message when your order is ready for collection.

Curtain Alteration Prices
The price for curtain alterations depends on the type of curtain. Net curtains may be the most affordable depending on if the design has a lace boarder, and lined curtains will always be more pricey than non lined. This is because the lining of a curtain will most likely also need to be worked on as well as the out layer of the curtain, and will be double the job.
However, double the job does not necessarily mean double the price. For a more accurate quote you could send a photo via email with your pricing query, call us to explain the work your require on your curtain, or finally you could bring the curtain into the store so that the tailor may assess the work to be done and price it accurately.
