Shiv Launderette

Despite other reviews. I have found the ladies in the laundrette very helpful when using it. The machines are big and quick, 30 mins. I would definitely recommend and this was a god send for a broken washing machine and a potty training toddler!

Took a duvet in at 3:45pm- turned away as they close at 6:00pm and only have one machine. Bit of a bus journey so this was really irritating and seems poor. Dubious previous experience with their opening hours. Won’t go there again and am throwing the duvet away instead.

Easter Saturday, sign up saying normal opening hours, closes at 5pm so I know I have to be through the door by 4pm. Arrive 10 mins before that, shutters quarter way down down, LIGHTS OFF and no staff inside. Go and do a shop around Tesco Express next door. On way home 4.10pm lights on and staff member emptying driers. Knock on door, get told should've arrived by 4pm, show large bag of shopping, explain and say I was there. "Well I didn't see you",....because you weren't there. And when a wash only takes 30 minutes and I'd closed everything down over an hour before closing, I wouldn't lock the door in someone's face. Unless it's on your doorstep and you can see it's open, I'd go elsewhere.

Used a few times while my washing machine is out of action. Quick service wash and dry, get my clothes back folded up - socks paired! - and smelling nice.

Terrible - left work early to get there for 630pm (advertised closing time of 8pm) to find the door locked and to be told they were closed - apparently the last wash must be in by 6pm. Outrageous!

We have been using the Shiv launderette for six years (service washes), and it is brilliant - the staff are very efficient, friendly and polite, and we would not go anywhere else!
