Had an amazing experience with the Bedford Zipyard, professional customer services and great solutions to repairing a jacket that was teared. Staff here are amazing and have a very high standard in the shop. Would 100% recommend for repairs.
Very professional & friendly service, with a value for money price each time I’ve used them.
Coat completely relined. See pic, they did all that quilting, reattached labels, put fiddly internal pockets back. You'd never know it wasn't brand new. Amazing work
Just had an excellent experience- left a shirt and trousers to be taken up. Really clear and professional customer service, they got the work done a day earlier than they’d quoted and I’m really happy with the finish. I also think it’s very good pricing for the quality and service you receive. Thanks to everyone at zipyard!
I recently took my coat and two school blazers to The ZipYard Bedford for dry cleaning, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The staff was friendly, attentive, and ensured that my garments were well taken care of. When I picked them up, I was amazed at how spotless and fresh they looked—better than I ever expected! The attention to detail and quality of work were outstanding. I highly recommend The ZipYard Bedford for anyone looking for reliable and professional dry cleaning services. Five stars!
Thank you so much to everyone at The Zipyard Bedford for an incredible service and speedy turnaround! I had three pairs of trousers shortened for my Husband and they are perfect with a highly professional finish! Will certainly be back with more alterations and highly recommended to anyone looking to get some tailoring
I use it regularly and it is a very professional service.
Economic and really good service

The Winning Team!
The Zip Yard Bedford has launched a warm clothes campaign for the homeless in partnership with the local charity - SMART Prebend Centre.
We're encouraging our customers and local Bedford residents to drop off their unwanted warm clothing to The Zip Yard Bedford store (76 High St) for distribution to the SMART Prebend Centre – a safe place for people who have no home, have been rough sleeping or have fallen on tough times.
As part of the campaign, The Zip Yard is offering its seamstressing skills free of charge to repair any donated items!
Graeme Mulheron, owner of The Zip Yard Bedford, commented:
“Our Zip Yard store celebrates its 10-year anniversary this year, and we wanted to give something back to the local community. The very nature of our business means people are always bringing in their clothes for repairs and alterations. So, as part of the warm clothes campaign with SMART Prebend Centre, we’re offering our services to repair items brought in by the public so that they are all in good condition to go on and keep people warm in the continuing cold weather and into spring."

Measure the curtain track or pole width, not the window width. It’s important that this is the measurement provided.
We have put against each header style the amount you need to x the width to get the amount of curtain material you need.
Alternatively, the curtain fabric supplier will be able to help when ordering the fabric or give us a call.
For the most part, you will be unable to adjust the width of the curtains once they are made, so it’s important that the width measurement is as accurate as possible.
If fitting a new track or pole, this should extend 15cm to 20cm on either side of the window and at least 15cm above.
For a curtain pole simply measure the width of the pole between any finials or end caps, that is the width you should use.
For a standard curtain track simply measure the full width of the track, that is the width you should use.
If your track has an overlap in the centre, measure the full width of the track (a) and the width of the overlap (b).
Add the two together and that is the width you should use.
