About this launderette

Operating seven days a week with free parking and wheelchair-accessible facilities, the launderette features coin-operated machines with multiple wash cycles and large-capacity tumble dryers.

The launderette requires customers to bring specific coins (£1, £2, and 20p pieces) as there is no change machine on site, and prices for large wash loads range from £7 to £11 depending on cycle length. Staff are noted as helpful when available, making this an accessible option for shoppers and residents needing reliable self-service laundry facilities.
