We offer a high-quality affordable everyday dry cleaning service. As specialist dry cleaners we offer a professional service from Scottish skirts, couture, vintage to military wear.

Using our Sankosha shirt-finishing equipment, we get the perfect finish every time. We boast of the best shirt service in the area at unbelievable prices. Shirts are returned hung or folded at a small additional cost.

We know that your wedding dress is one of the most expensive and sentimental garments you will ever own. We care for your dress before your big day with any alterations you may need and spot clean any stains to make sure it’s all perfect for your day.

Garments/ Textiles are cleaned to manufacturers care instructions and any damages/faults following cleaning in relation to the above should be duly returned to the manufacturer.

All orders are subject to our checklist. In the absence of a customer checklist that has been tallied with Blanksons checklist, Blanksons checklist shall be deemed as final. Blanksons will not be liable for claims relating to missing items outside these parameters.

Any claims or irregularities with respect to the condition of your garment must be made within seven (7) days from the time the garment/item is collected.

It is impossible to note all irregularities, problems, damage or stains on every invoice.

We will always make a good attempt to remove stains, however, it is not always physically possible to remove all types of stains from all types of fabrics, caution will be exercised and Blanksons will not waive any charges due to our inability to remove a stain.

Liability for any reason (including but not limited to lost or damaged items) is limited to the lesser of 10 times the cleaning cost or the depreciated value of the item as determined by the International Fair Claims Guide published by the International Fabricare Institute (IFI) when a valid proof of purchase is provided. Where proof of purchase cannot be provided, liability will be the lesser of 5 times the cleaning cost. From these guidelines, we would potentially compensate you once liability is proven by us, only once the age, original value and proof of purchase from you is clearly established. We do not replace old for new and therefore need to establish the age, state and condition of the item(s) when we received them for cleaning and prior to any compensation being paid out.

In every instance, Blanksons’ liability shall be limited to the terms contained herein and shall only apply to the individual item which has been damaged or lost. In the event that items are priced in one lump sum or are part of a set (such as curtains, bed sets or cushion covers) and should any damage occur where the fault lies with Blanksons the liability shall be based upon 10 times the apportioned cleaning cost for that individual item (part of a set).

At Blankson’s we believe in the power of volunteering and giving back to our communities. Our passion for community stems from our leadership. Our directors are award-winning volunteers and advocates for various causes we deeply care about.

Standing Against Violence: We stand firmly against violence against women and are actively working towards becoming White Ribbon accredited. We are pleased that our director, Effie Blankson is a White Ribbon Champion.
Aligning with Sustainable Development Goals: We believe in the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and are committed to aligning with key goals that resonate with our mission and values.

I lost my step-mother and sister to Breast and Colorectal Cancers respectively. Nothing ever prepares you but the support of friends and loved ones help see you through. Becoming a Cancer Research UK Campaigns Ambassador means I can make meaningful impact. Your spare change at our counters go a long way to help so keep giving and helping to beat cancer sooner.

It is imperative that we stand against injustice and when it comes to disparities for Black boys and men, the outlook isn’t great. That is why it was important for us to set up Basingstoke Unites Against Racism (BUAR) so that we could educate our young people and the entire comunity on the Stop and Search Powers police have. We have to improve trust and build a more cohesive society for all.
