Commercial Ironing & Laundry Equipment for Facilities Management
Facilities management companies operate across some of the most demanding and varied environments
in the UK - from corporate office blocks and serviced apartments to gyms, stately homes, and
managed leisure venues. Keeping staff uniforms pressed, linen guest-ready, and workwear
presentable across multiple sites requires commercial ironing equipment that's reliable,
fast, and built for continuous use.
The Ironing Equipment Company has been supplying FM operators with commercial ironing and laundry
equipment for over 12 years. Whether you're equipping a single managed building or standardising
kit across a portfolio of sites, we'll recommend the right equipment for your operation - free of
charge. Call 0800 955 0245.
Sectors Within Facilities Management We Supply
Office Blocks & Corporate Campuses
Large corporate headquarters and managed office buildings often maintain on-site facilities for front-of-house and concierge staff uniforms. Garment steamers and compact steam presses keep reception staff and facilities teams looking sharp with minimal effort and space requirements.
Serviced Apartments & Aparthotels
Serviced apartment operators face the same linen demands as hotels - bed linen, towels, and soft furnishings - but often without a dedicated laundry room per building. A compact flatwork ironer or commercial steam press enables in-house turnaround of guest linen between lets, keeping costs and outsourcing to a minimum.
Gyms & Fitness Centres
Gym operators providing towel services need reliable, high-throughput laundry solutions. For facilities that finish towels in-house, a flatwork ironer processes large volumes quickly and consistently. Garment steamers handle staff polo shirts and branded training wear without fuss or specialist knowledge.
Stately Homes & Country Estates
Historic houses, country estates, and heritage venues open to the public or used for events require immaculate presentation across housekeeping, catering, and front-of-house teams. Steam presses and heated vacuum tables deliver the kind of precise, professional finish expected in these environments - gentle on delicate fabrics, fast enough for operational needs.
Managed Co-working Spaces
Co-working and flexible workspace operators increasingly provide hospitality-style services to attract members. On-site ironing facilities - from a single vacuum table to a compact steam press - add genuine value for business members who travel or work client-facing roles from the space.
Sports & Leisure Venues
Sports clubs, leisure centres, and stadium facilities teams manage kit, uniforms, and hospitality linen across multiple departments. Commercial ironing equipment handles everything from dugout kit to hospitality suite tablecloths - reliably, quickly, and without the outsourcing cost.
Equipment Built for FM Operations
Steam Ironing Presses
A commercial steam press completes a shirt or garment in 15–30 seconds - far faster than a conventional iron. For FM teams managing staff uniforms across a building or estate, a press dramatically reduces the time and labour required to keep teams looking professional.
- 15–30 second press cycle per garment
- Consistent results regardless of operator skill level
- Suitable for shirts, trousers, tunics, and uniforms
- Available from Speedypress and Comel
Garment Steamers
For spot-finishing, de-wrinkling uniforms between uses, and caring for delicate or embroidered workwear, a professional garment steamer is the tool of choice. Compact and quick to heat, steamers suit front-of-house environments where a full ironing setup isn't practical.
- Ready in minutes - no ironing board required
- Safe on delicate fabrics, embroidery, and branded clothing
- Ideal for concierge, reception, and hospitality teams
- Available from Aeolus and Electrolux Professional
Vacuum & Heated Ironing Tables
Professional vacuum ironing tables use suction to hold garments firmly in place and remove excess steam during pressing - delivering a faster, sharper finish than a domestic board. Combined with a commercial steam iron and boiler, they form a complete professional ironing station suitable for multi-user FM laundry rooms.
- Suction and blow function for fast, crease-free results
- Heated surface ensures consistent pressing temperature
- Multiple table sizes available for different room footprints
- Available from Comel and Speedypress
Flatwork Ironers (Rotary Ironers)
For serviced apartments, estate laundries, and managed hospitality venues processing bed linen, pillowcases, and tablecloths, a flatwork ironer delivers consistent results at volume. Feed flat items in at one end and receive them pressed and finished at the other - no operator skill required beyond basic use.
- Processes flat linen at high speed with minimal labour
- Ideal for serviced apartments, events venues, and estates
- Available in widths from 60cm to 130cm+
- Available from Electrolux Professional
Drying Cabinets
Where FM teams manage PPE, waterproofs, or workwear that arrives wet from outdoor tasks, a drying cabinet is an essential companion to ironing equipment. Drying cabinets circulate warm air through garments on hangers, drying them safely without shrinkage or damage to technical fabrics.
- Suitable for PPE, waterproofs, and outdoor workwear
- Gentle heat - no damage to technical fabrics or membranes
- Available in single and multi-garment capacities
- Widely used in estate, groundskeeping, and security teams
Steam Boiler Systems
Centralised steam boiler systems feed multiple ironing stations simultaneously - ideal for larger FM operations with a dedicated laundry room. A single boiler can supply two or more ironing tables, reducing running costs and ensuring consistent steam pressure throughout a busy shift.
- Feed multiple ironing stations from one boiler
- Capacities from 5 litres to centralised industrial systems
- Lower running cost than multiple standalone units
- Available from Comel and Speedypress

Common Questions from FM Buyers
We manage multiple buildings - can you supply and match equipment across all of them?
Yes. We regularly supply FM companies equipping a portfolio of properties with the same or equivalent equipment across sites. This makes training simpler, maintenance more consistent, and spare parts stock more manageable. Call us with details of your sites and we'll put together a proposal covering all locations.
What's the right equipment for a serviced apartment building?
This depends on the volume of linen you're turning around between guests. For smaller operators, a commercial steam press and vacuum ironing table is usually sufficient for garments and smaller flat items. For higher-volume buildings processing sheets and duvet covers in-house, a compact flatwork ironer is a worthwhile investment - it will pay for itself quickly in reduced outsourcing costs. We can advise based on your unit count and turnaround frequency.
We manage a gym - do you supply equipment for towel finishing?
Yes. For gyms laundering and finishing towels in-house, a flatwork ironer is the most efficient solution - it processes towels quickly and consistently, keeping them guest-ready with minimal labour. For smaller gyms or those finishing branded staff polo shirts and uniforms only, a steam press or garment steamer is a more proportionate choice. We'll recommend based on your volumes.
Can we finance the equipment?
Yes - hire purchase, finance lease, and operating lease options are all available, typically over 12 to 60 months. Finance payments are 100% tax deductible as a business expense, which makes it an attractive option for many FM operators. We'll provide a finance illustration alongside your equipment quote.
Do you service the equipment after purchase?
We stock spare parts for everything we supply and can arrange servicing across the UK. For FM companies where equipment downtime has an operational impact, we'd recommend discussing a servicing arrangement at the point of purchase. Most commercial ironing equipment is straightforward to maintain and highly reliable in day-to-day use.
