What does an ironing service cost?
Most UK ironing services charge in one of three ways: by weight, by item or by the hour. In 2026 typical prices outside London are £5.50–£7.50 per kg for ironing only, £1.50–£2.80 per shirt, £14–£18 per hour for an ironer at your home and £8.50–£10 per kg for wash, dry and iron. London prices usually run about a quarter higher.
Which pricing method is cheapest?
Per-kg pricing is usually cheapest for mixed family loads of t-shirts, children's clothes and everyday items. Per-item pricing is usually cheapest for a handful of work shirts. Hourly pricing suits in-home ironing, where the speed of the ironer matters, so ask how many items they typically press in an hour.
How much is a typical household load?
A standard laundry basket holds roughly 5–7kg of dry clothes, so a basket of ironing usually costs about £28–£50. A week of five work shirts is typically £8–£14.
Are there extra charges?
Look out for minimum orders (often £15–£20), collection fees on small orders, express surcharges of around 25% and extra charges for hangers. Our guide prices include collection and return above the minimum order in our standard areas.
