What changes the price for ironing & laundry
- Volume, by bag or by item. Most price per bag with a fixed capacity, or per item for shirts and bedding.
- Collection and delivery. Drop-off is cheapest. Collection and return adds a fixed amount per trip.
- Turnaround. Next-day costs more than a standard two to three day return.
- Item type. Bedding and heavy cotton take far longer per piece than t-shirts.
What is usually included
- Ironing and hanging or folding
- Basic hangers and covers
And what is usually not
- Washing, unless a laundry service is agreed
- Stain removal
- Dry cleaning
- Repairs and alterations
The one thing that saves the most money
Sort the bag before it goes so bedding is separated from shirts. Mixed bags are slower and some services charge bedding at a different rate anyway.

Common questions
How much does ironing & laundry cost in the UK?
$15 to $50 for most jobs, with a median of $33. We do not yet have enough completed ironing & laundry tasks in the UK to publish real price data, so the figures below are our editorial estimate from market rates. They will be replaced with platform data as soon as we have enough jobs.
What makes ironing & laundry more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
