About The Ironing Shop – Horsham Laundry Services
Our Horsham laundry services are here to help local commercial and domestic clients with professional, pristine finishes.
At The Ironing Shop, we provide professional ironing, laundry and garment care for local households and businesses, built on decades of experience and a straightforward, reliable approach. Established in 1992 and operating from the same premises ever since, we exist to make everyday life easier for our customers by taking care of one of the most time-consuming tasks.
Built On Experience, Not Short-Term Trends
The Ironing Shop has been part of the local community since 1992, providing a consistent garment care service for over three decades.
Originally established to support local households with reliable ironing and laundry, the business has grown steadily through repeat customers and word of mouth rather than short-term marketing tactics.
In August 2025, the business entered a new chapter under current ownership, continuing its long-standing reputation while focusing on serving local customers across Horsham and surrounding areas.
From day one, the focus has remained the same. Deliver a service people can rely on week after week.
Our most recent expansion has included the opening of a second shop in Billinghurst within the old Sussex Laundry premises.
What We Do & Who We Help Day To Day
We provide professional ironing, laundry and dry cleaning support for people who want a simple, dependable way to keep their clothes in order.
Our service is designed for:
- Busy working families managing full schedules
- Professionals who need consistent, presentable clothing
- Households dealing with large volumes of laundry
- Local businesses requiring regular garment care
We operate as a local studio-based service using a practical, hands-on approach rather than a large-scale industrial model. This allows us to focus on quality, consistency and personal service.
Our goal is not to be everything to everyone. It is to provide a reliable service that fits naturally into our customers’ routines.

Why Customers Continue To Choose Us
There are many garment care providers, but most customers are not just looking for a service. They are looking for reliability.
What sets The Ironing Shop apart is consistency over time.
- Operating from the same premises for over 30 years
- A team with long-serving staff and strong experience
- A local reputation built through repeat custom
- A focus on smaller, local clients rather than large contracts
- A straightforward, no-nonsense approach to service
We are not built around high-volume, impersonal processing. Instead, we prioritise dependable results and long-term relationships with the people we serve.
Our Approach To Garment Care
Our approach is simple. Do the job properly, every time.
We focus on:
- Careful handling of garments
- Consistent ironing standards
- Clear communication with customers
- Reliable turnaround times within our capacity
- Practical solutions that suit real households and businesses
By working within a defined local area and maintaining manageable volumes, we are able to deliver a service that remains consistent rather than overstretched.
A Local Business With A Clear Purpose
Our purpose is to support local people with a service that removes a common pressure point from everyday life.
Ironing is often one of those tasks that builds up quickly and takes valuable time away from work, family or rest.
We exist to solve that problem in a straightforward, dependable way.
