What is a Laundry Chute
The laundry chute (sometimes known as laundry shoot or clothes shoot or shute) or the laundry jet is a great way to keep your home clean and tidy. It’s a simple solution that will save time and money. There are many types of laundry chute solutions available, some are made of plastic, others are metal (stainless steel is the type of laundry chute we recommend the most ). They come in various sizes and shapes. Some are designed to fit under the sink or inside cupboards, while most are built into the wall. Preferably a laundry chute door can be accessible for everyone in the house. Ideally the door should be in a hallway close to the bedrooms with the laundry chute behind the wall in a cupboard or boxed in.
A modern laundry or linen chute is a tube or duct that runs from one upper part of a home or building to another lower part. The purpose of the chute is to allow a person to safely drop clothes or linen from a higher level of the home or building down into a lower level or basement where the washing machine and dryers are located. Our system is made of stainless steel grade 316L seamlessly welded and smooth on the inside and outside. Ideally the laundry chute should run straight down although it can be offset to a maximum of 45 degrees. Modern laundry chutes in the UK and Ireland are becoming more and more popular.

You can also find out more information on why you should buy one, here, Reasons to Install a Laundry Chute.

Is My House Suitable for a Laundry Chute?
A laundry chute is a smooth stainless steel tube which leads from an upper floor of your house down to a lower floor. If you don’t have a laundry chute, you are at risk of tripping or falling downstairs due to carrying dirty clothes and baskets then you need to consider installing one. There are many benefits to having a laundry chute installed. For example, it saves space in your laundry room, you can send clothes down and carry on cleaning. You can't have a laundry chute if it's a bungalow (unless you are considering installing a power driven Laundry Jet; laundry jet is a chute that transports laundry for rooms with ports installed and is a vacuum powered laundry chute). You can check out a review for the popular Laundry Jet make here, Laundry Jet Review. Suitable residential homes in the UK range from 2 to 7 floors. New builds and renovation projects can accommodate a laundry chute easier as there is already ongoing building work. Ideally a straight vertical drop into the utility room is the perfect situation. However, slight offsets or even angles up to 45 degrees can be fitted without laundry getting stuck halfway down. So, if you are thinking about buying a house, then check if there is a laundry room available. Contact us and we will be able to offer some advice about the ideal location and size of the laundry chute in your house.

We recently had a large hotel group purchase a linen chute but they wanted to install themselves in different stages of the hotel build. We supplied an engineer to train their tradesmen in starting the chute and how to complete first fix.
