Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a flatwork ironer and an ironing press?
A flatwork ironer (also called a rotary ironer or cylinder ironer) is designed to process large flat items - sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths - at speed, feeding them through heated rollers in a single continuous pass. It's the right choice when you're handling a high volume of flat linen and need fast throughput with consistent results. An ironing press, by contrast, uses two heated plates to press individual garments - shirts, trousers, uniforms - far faster than a conventional iron. Both are commercial tools; they solve different problems. Many operations use both: a flatwork ironer for the linen, a press for the clothing. View the flatwork ironer buyers guide here...
Can I finance commercial ironing equipment?
Yes - most commercial ironing equipment can be financed through hire purchase, finance lease, or operating lease agreements. This is particularly common for larger purchases such as flatwork ironers or rotary ironer setups where the upfront capital cost is significant. On a 36-month agreement, a £2,000 system typically works out at around £70–90 per month. Finance payments are generally 100% tax deductible as a business expense. We can provide finance quotes alongside equipment quotes - just ask when you call.
Do you supply equipment to the NHS and public sector?
Yes - we supply commercial ironing and laundry equipment to NHS trusts, care groups, local authorities, schools, fire and rescue services, and other public sector organisations across the UK. We understand public sector procurement processes and can provide full product specifications, model numbers, and pricing documentation to support your purchasing requirements. Finance options and leasing arrangements are also available for public sector buyers.
What brands do you supply?
We supply equipment from established commercial brands including Electrolux Professional, Comel, Speedypress, Magpie, Maytag, Samsung, Beko and Aeolus, among others. These are professional-grade brands built for all-day commercial use - not adapted domestic appliances. We stock spare parts for everything we sell and can arrange servicing throughout the UK. Brand availability varies by equipment type; call us and we'll recommend the right specification for your application. View all brands here...
How quickly can you deliver?
Most commercial ironing equipment we supply is available for UK-wide delivery within a few working days. Larger industrial flatwork ironers may have slightly longer lead times depending on specification and stock levels. We'll confirm delivery timescales when you order. All equipment arrives tested and ready to use - we'll also advise on installation requirements (such as three-phase power for larger machines) before you commit.
