The Company
Express Laundry Limited is an independent commercial and domestic laundry family owned and operated since 1999. Our facilities include a full commercial laundry unit and 2 high street launderette & ironing shops.
Express Laundry traces its origins back to the 1960s when the Washerette, in Winton was converted from a former dairy and fitted out as a branded self-service launderette. In the early 1970s the launderette changed hands and the new owners got rid of the uneconomical top loading washing machines and installed modern front-loading machines manufactured in England by Spencer. These were still in use right up until 2003 when, under the current owners, the latest computer controlled equipment by market leading brand Ipso, was installed.
In 2001 Express Laundry bought a very run down launderette in Tuckton which had been touched little since the early 70s. After several years revamping, updating and redecorating, the launderette now offers a range of coin-operated machines and all the services you would associate with a thriving modern launderette.
With effect from August 2010 both high street launderettes have been re-branded as "Express Launderette and Ironing" more accurately reflecting the services that we offer.
June 2010 saw the most significant step forward for Express Laundry with the opening of a new, purpose designed 2000 sq ft commercial laundry facility just off Alder Road on the Bournemouth / Poole border. Fitted out with huge industrial washer extractors, matched to high capacity tumble driers and a 3 metre wide 3 roll ironer line with auto folder the new facility has the capacity to handle almost any commercial work available in the local area.
The philosophy at all Express Laundry locations is simple – to provide customers with the very best service at the right price, and this is something that Nick and Jane Leigh and their team firmly believe in at every stage of their contact with customers. Express Laundry is often able to help out where others can’t; whether because a customer wants something at short notice or because a problem has arisen and Express Laundry’s flexibility and experience can provide a solution.
