Curtains That Hang Beautifully

Off-the-shelf curtains rarely fit perfectly. Whether you've moved house, changed your windows, or simply bought curtains that are slightly too long or wide, our alteration service ensures they drape elegantly from pole to floor.

We work with all fabric types — from lightweight voiles to heavy blackout linings and interlined velvets — always matching the original stitching and heading style.

  • Length Shortening
    Precision hemming to your exact drop measurement, with blind or double-stitch finishes.
  • Width Adjustments
    Taking in or letting out curtain panels while preserving the fullness and drape.
  • Lining Replacement
    Replacing worn or discoloured linings with new thermal, blackout, or standard cotton sateen.
  • Heading & Tape Repairs
    Replacing pencil pleat, pinch pleat, or eyelet heading tapes.
✦ Measuring Tip: Always measure your curtain drop from the bottom of the pole ring to your desired length (sill, below sill, or floor). Bring your measurements with you for the most accurate alterations.

Quick Turnaround

Most curtain alterations are completed within 3–5 working days. Express service available on request.
