Cardiff · Home visits
Cardiff alterations, without the trip into town.
Pontcanna terraces, Cardiff Bay apartments, Llandaff and Penarth homes — a fitter comes to you, pins the work and returns it finished.
Alterations in Cardiff
Cardiff runs on a busy calendar of rugby internationals, graduations, weddings and work in the offices around Central Square and Cardiff Bay. Each one tends to bring a suit out of the wardrobe that needs a little work.
We alter men’s suits, blazers, shirts, trousers and evening wear, pinned at your address and returned pressed.
Fittings can be at home, in an office meeting room or a hotel. Cardiff is one of our express cities, so simpler work can come back in about 72 hours where available.
