Laundrette at Richardsons

[C.Ricko]

Hi Everyone, 

Just to let you all know that we have now opened our coin op laundrette on the boatyard at Stalham,

You can even grab a cup of tea and bacon roll while you wait..

open to everyone, 8am - 5pm.

Good idea Clive. I can’t think of too many laundrette facilities near the rivers. There used to be one at Horning Marina which I think has gone now and there used to be a washing machine and tumbler at Oulton Broad Yacht Station, again not sure if they are still there.

 

I'm sure that it will be a very popular facility.

Hello Harward,

Yes they still have the facilities at the Oulton Broad Yacht Station and also in the toilets at the Beccles Yacht Station is a similar arrangement. I am sure that the Yacht stations at Norwich and Yarmouth will also have facilities.

It is a while since we have moored at the Waverley River Centre but I think they also had at least tumble dryers.

When we used to moor at the Ferry Marina we used the old laundrette, toilet & shower. The equipement in the laundrette was very old and tended to be broken at times.

Regards

Alan

Hi Clive. Does this go for privateers too? With temporary mooring in your marina? 

[trambo]

Well Clive it doesn't  exactly excite me enough to get in a lather over it but I might take it for a spin if I tumble into Stalham.

[C.Ricko]

I will let the negative comments wash over me but the facility is open to all...

[Julz]

Hi Clive, any Idea what coins your machines take please, or do we buy a token from the office?

Nothing worse than having to scratch around for the right change when trying to use such facilities, we like to come well prepared.

We are due to spend most of August in Norfolk, and the use of a good laundry will cut out the need to bring so many clothes with us.

Thanks,

Julz

oh dear, I don't know, I will find out...

I do know we sell washing powder!

Is there anything for boats you don't sell, Clive?    

[C.Ricko]

Wash is £3

dry is £1,  we are making the dry cycle a little longer as we had not reckoned in the cool down bit and it was mentioned a couple of times, so it this affected you then all is now well!

 

John, I an still thinking but there is bound to be something!

[Julz]

Thanks Clive, l will come well prepared with a supply of pound coins then

Hi I have a boat mored at waxham cut would we be allowed to use your launderette or is it for your boat hire people Thankyou 

[BroadAmbition]

Hi Daine and welcome to the NBN if you look back a few posts Clive does say the launderette is open to all, we as privateers have used it but rarely.  As hirers we have never used it

This is good to know, as I'm onboard for two weeks next year. I assume visiting hire boat can use aswell.

Welcome to the forum Tina. 
I’m pretty sure it £5, in coins and although I haven’t done so, reckon you’d fit one KS duvet in. If I remember right, the dryer is £3 for about 20 minutes (could be £1?) but then you can feed it with 20p coins to extend the time. No dog blankets etc. 

Reception will tell you for sure if you give the yard a ring. And tell you the opening times as it sometimes closes quite early. You don’t want to end up with your stuff being locked in like I did once!

I have a feeling there is a launderette still, opposite the Broads Tours/NBD yard in Wroxham although I have never used it. Certainly used to be one there, but unsure if it still exists even!!!

[marshman]

Yep still there - says they have duvet size machines and its £9. Its also an attended one I believe - if that makes any difference!

As you say it is still there MM with a couple of large machines for duvets. Would advise giving Monday`s a miss as it is always busy and Lesley will exchange notes for coins.
