Claire, was very professional and was a great help. All my clothes were returned ironed on hangers. I would recommend Claire if you need any ironing done.

Services
Free Collection & Delivery
Free for orders over £20 — a small fee applies for smaller orders. Regular weekly collections are available — set up once and forget about it. Drop-off is also available by prior arrangement.
Shirts are returned within 48 hours as standard; faster turnaround is available on request. Payment on delivery by bank transfer or cash.
Ironing
Ironing is priced per item — simple, clear, and often better value. Shirts, dresses, formal trousers and jumpsuits are hung as standard; T-shirts and other garments can be hung on request. Folded items like polos and jumpers are neatly returned in shop-style folds.
All hung items are returned in biodegradable, reusable protective covers. We’re happy to follow special requests — trouser creases, specific folds, hanging preferences — just let us know.
Bed Linen
We wash, dry and iron duvet covers, fitted sheets, flat sheets and pillowcases — cot through to super king. All items are washed using Fairy non-bio hypoallergenic detergent and Comfort Intense fabric conditioner, kind to sensitive skin and safe for children's bedding.
Bedding is returned neatly folded and ready to go straight onto the bed within 48 hours. Please note: we wash duvet covers and bed linen — not the duvets themselves.
Laundry
Pricing is based on load size — full and half-load options are available, with a maximum of 7kg per load. Choose from wash & fold, wash & iron, or dry only — just tell us what you’d like. We use top-brand non-bio detergent, ideal for sensitive skin, and laundry is air-dried where possible, gently machine-finished when needed.
We offer special packages for AirBnB hosts and holiday let owners. Please separate laundry into individual loads before collection to protect colours.
AirBnB & Holiday Lets
We provide a dedicated changeover laundry service for AirBnB hosts, holiday let owners and small B&Bs. Bed linen and towels are washed using Fairy non-bio hypoallergenic detergent, dried thoroughly and returned pressed and folded within 48 hours — ready to go straight onto the beds.
Our local agents can handle approximately 10 bedding sets per collection, making this service ideal for properties with up to five or six rooms. We handle duvet covers, fitted and flat sheets, pillowcases, towels, hand towels and bath mats. Regular scheduled collections are available to fit your changeover schedule.
Wedding & Special Occasions
We handle wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, suits, formalwear and occasion garments for weddings, graduations, christenings, funerals and black-tie events. All items are available as wash, dry and iron — not just ironing only. Everything is returned on hangers in biodegradable protective covers.
For wedding dresses, please contact us before booking — dresses vary greatly in fabric and construction, and we’ll confirm whether the gown is suitable for our service. For full bridal party orders, we recommend booking at least one week in advance.
Asian Garments
We provide specialist ironing for saris, salwar kameez, lehengas, sherwanis, churidars, dupattas and other South Asian and Asian garments. Each piece is assessed individually before pressing — steam temperature is matched to the most delicate fabric present, and embellishments are carefully worked around rather than pressed directly.
Washing is available where the care label permits. For heavily embellished pieces — wedding lehengas, heavily beaded saris or hand-embroidered occasion wear — please contact us before booking.
