The Zip Yard didn't become the UK's largest and fastest growing professional tailoring network by chance. It has been by design.
Starting life in Belfast in 2005, close to the Harland & Wolff shipyard (Zip Yard/Shipyard!) with our distinct double zip branding symbolising twin dockyard cranes, our founders were driven by a mix of personal experience - the frustration at having to wait weeks to get clothes altered and the desire to reduce waste by extending the life of clothes through repair and reuse.

As a professional clothing alteration boutique, The Zip Yard provides a wide range of services throughout the UK.Specialising in professional tailoring for men's, women's and children's clothing, we can do everything from turning up trousers and shirt sleeves, to resizing school blazers and bridal gowns.
The Zip Yard wants to extend the life of clothes to help minimise the impact of clothing, which is the fourth biggest environmental polluter after transport, housing and food. That's why we've became the first clothes alterations chain to sign up to the Sustainable Clothing Action Plan (SCAP 2020), which has been launched by WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme).
Protecting the environment is a perfect fit for The Zip Yard, therefore, we're on a mission to extend the life of clothes and minimise the waste created by the clothing industry. Consequently, in 2019 we became the first clothing alterations chain to sign up to the UK's Waste and Resources Action Programme's Sustainable Clothing Action Plan (SCAP) 2020 commitment.
The ZipYard Altrincham provides professional and comprehensive bespoke clothing alterations and repairs service, at competitive prices. We restyle, resize, mend and customise bridal, formal and party wear, dresses, skirts, blouses and shirts, jeans, trousers, suits, jackets, coats, leatherwear, and more so if you have an item of clothing that's in need of a quick fix then come down to the ZipYard Altrincham today.

I've used the Zipyard for many years and not once have I had any problem with any work they've done. The quality of the alterations are impeccable, the turnaround tume and pricing is excellent, and today I've just received a jacket back that I nearly didn't get altered in time for Christmas but they went above and beyond and delivered it to me. Cannot fault them!

Critical: Quality, Value
Terrible experience.... it's also not the first experience I've had with them which has been bad. I paid 16.99 to repair the zip on these trousers. The outcome is horrible they have only fixed half of the zip on the trousers... flimsy repair. Ruined part of my trousers. Would NOT Recommend at all.

I used the Zipyard in Derry,Northern Ireland. My wedding dress was there a week past the date specified on the docket for completion and when I went to collect it there was nothing done. It had not been altered but it had obviously been taken out of the bag several times as the straps are frayed and the skirt is now all crinkled from just being balled up. I am so upset,my precious dream dress is in a state and now I still need to find somewhere to get it altered. Terrible service. Would warn people not to use it for valuable items.

Not professional at all, the manager there shama Parvin is irresponsible, not punctual, don't know how to talk with people, I had a job interview and she was so happy with me she even wanted me to start on the same day and I did everyone was happy so she suggests starting immediately the following day but I told her that I need to organise some… stuff first. she accept and we had discussed that I will be back the next week, anyway, I had to move to Chester and do a serious change, then she just says no you will not work with us, she left me with no answer which is as I guess so rude...

I bought a dress for my wedding online, needless to say it had a few issues. The staff at allerton road, liverpool were amazing! The seamstress Gaby, did a fantastic job, and I love it!! Thank you so much, some places wouldn't touch it, but she had no qualms and wow I now feel like I'll look the part. Thank you once again. Sue x
