Ironing service

Let's be honest — ironing is the one chore that never gets smaller. The pile grows through the week and somehow it's always there on a Sunday evening. We get it. That's why The Hot Iron exists.

Our trained local specialists collect your clothes from your doorstep, iron everything to a professional standard, and return it neatly pressed and ready to wear — all within 24 to 48 hours. You only pay for what you send. No minimum order, no basket rates, no surprises.

What's included

Free Collection & Delivery

Free for orders over £20 — a small fee applies for smaller orders. Regular scheduled collections are available and we'll confirm 24 hours in advance. Drop-off is also available by prior arrangement.

Items are returned within 48 hours as standard; faster turnaround is available on request. Complimentary laundry bags are provided for regular customers. Payment on delivery by bank transfer or cash.

What We Iron

We iron everything — shirts, dresses, trousers, jeans, t-shirts, polos, children's clothing, school uniforms, and bedding including duvet covers, sheets and pillowcases.

Shirts and dresses are returned on hangers in biodegradable, reusable protective covers. T-shirts and folded items are returned in neat shop-style folds. Special requests are always welcome — trouser creases, specific folds, hanging preferences.

Our Equipment

We use professional-grade steam generator irons and ironing tables — the same equipment used by commercial services, operated in a clean, smoke-free home environment by a fully trained specialist.

Frequently asked questions

How much does your ironing service cost?
We charge per item, so the cost depends on what you send. Most customers spend between £20 and £30 per order. Use our price list for an exact estimate before you book.
Are my clothes safe?
Yes — your items are in safe hands. Every ironing specialist is carefully vetted, fully trained, and works in a clean, smoke-free home. We treat every garment with care and professionalism at every step. In the rare event of damage, our compensation guarantee applies.
When will I get my clothes back?
We typically return items within 24–48 hours of collection. If you need a faster turnaround, just ask — we'll do our best to help.
Can I request specific ironing preferences?
Absolutely — tell us how you'd like your items pressed or returned and we'll follow your instructions. Trouser creases, specific folds, hanging vs folding — just let us know.
Can I drop off my clothes instead of arranging collection?
Yes — drop-off is available by arrangement. Please contact us to confirm.
What equipment do you use?
We use professional-grade steam generator irons and ironing tables to deliver consistent, high-quality results without risking fabric damage.
How can I get the best results?
Make sure clothes are fully dry before bagging them. Damp or tightly scrunched items can develop set-in creases that are difficult to remove even with a professional iron. A quick fold after drying makes a real difference — and once it's with us, we'll take care of the rest.
Do you offer dry cleaning?
We don't offer dry cleaning at this time. For dry-clean-only garments, please consult a specialist dry cleaner.
Is there an ironing service that collects from your home in the UK?
Yes — The Hot Iron collects clothes from your doorstep, irons them professionally and returns them within 24–48 hours across 60+ UK locations. Free collection for orders over £20. Call 0333 339 9964 or check availability online.
What is the average cost of a professional ironing service in the UK?
A typical order costs £20–£30. The Hot Iron charges per item — shirts from £1.80, t-shirts from £1.35 — so you only pay for what you send. No basket rates, no hidden fees. Prices vary slightly by area.
