Commercial laundry and dishwashing equipment
Products selected for the way you need them to work
a&f supplies commercial washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, ironers, finishing equipment and payment systems from carefully selected commercial brands. Every recommendation is made in context, so the equipment suits your workload, staff, space, services and long-term objectives.
Laundry & Dishwashing Operations Success
The right brand depends on the operation, not the other way round
At a&f, we work with carefully selected manufacturers whose equipment performs reliably in real-world environments over the long term. The aim is not to force every site towards one product range. It is to understand the laundry or dishwashing operation, then specify the equipment that best supports it.
Sometimes that means Miele Professional. Sometimes Electrolux Professional is the better laundry fit. For dishwashing, the right answer may be Miele Professional or Classeq. Our role is to make that choice clearly, practically and with long-term support in mind.
Selected for performance, serviceability and fit
We choose brand partners based on how their equipment performs in daily use, how well it can be supported, and how effectively it contributes to a stable operation.
What this means for customers
- A recommendation based on workload, site conditions, users and long-term support needs
- Access to proven laundry and dishwashing manufacturers without being tied to one answer
- Equipment selected to help the whole operation run more reliably, not just to fill a space
Miele Professional

Electrolux Professional
A valuable laundry partner where flexibility, capacity range, layout constraints, drying configuration or ironing and finishing requirements make it the best fit for the site.
Classeq dishwashers
A robust and straightforward dishwashing option for environments where dependable daily use, simple operation, serviceability and hygiene support are the priorities.
Selected around your operation
The right product is more than a capacity figure

Product Selection Guide
Choosing the right professional laundry and dishwashing equipment
Choosing the right commercial equipment depends on your workload, site services, users, hygiene requirements and long-term operating costs. These FAQs answer some of the most common questions we are asked when helping customers select laundry and dishwashing equipment.
Start with the operation, not the machine
Use this guide if you are comparing commercial and domestic equipment, reviewing capacity, planning site services, replacing unreliable machines or trying to understand the long-term cost of a new system.
Commercial laundry equipment is designed for regular, repeated use in professional environments. Compared with domestic machines, commercial models normally offer faster cycle times, stronger construction, higher spin performance, more robust components, better programme control and improved long-term reliability.
For care, healthcare, education, hospitality, housing and similar environments, commercial equipment also supports better workflow, hygiene control and service continuity.
The right capacity depends on the volume of laundry or dishwashing your site handles each day, the number of users, available space, staff workflow and how quickly items need to be turned around.
For laundry, we consider load size, the number of cycles per day, drying capacity and whether the washer and dryer are correctly matched. For dishwashing, we look at peak service periods, basket throughput, staff workflow and the type of items being washed.
This depends on the equipment selected, but may include a suitable electrical supply, water supply, drainage, ventilation and, where relevant, gas services.
Commercial washing machines commonly require appropriate fixed drainage rather than a domestic-style standpipe. Vented tumble dryers need suitable ducting to atmosphere. Dishwashers need correct water, waste and electrical connections, with the installation designed around the site and usage.
We supply and support commercial laundry and dishwashing equipment across a wide range of sectors, including care homes, healthcare, schools and education, housing associations, private residences, hotels, sports clubs, equestrian sites, churches, charities, offices, facilities management and commercial laundries.
Each sector has different priorities, so we select equipment around the practical needs of the site rather than offering a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
Running costs are very important, especially for laundry equipment that is used every day. Higher-quality commercial machines may cost more to buy, but can often reduce long-term costs through lower water use, lower energy use, better spin extraction, shorter drying times and improved reliability.
For dishwashing, the main value is usually reliability, hygiene, simplicity and uptime, although efficient operation still matters.
Yes. Many commercial machines can be configured with programmes suited to the site, the users and the items being washed or dried.
This can include simple everyday programmes for staff, hygiene-focused programmes for care and healthcare, woollens or delicate cycles, mop and sluice programmes, specialist drying settings and clear user controls. The aim is to make the equipment easy to use while still supporting the right process.
We supply, install, repair and service commercial laundry and dishwashing equipment. We can help with new equipment projects, replacement machines, ongoing maintenance, annual servicing, repair visits and service contracts.
Where a site already has equipment in place, we can review its condition, reliability, usage and running costs before recommending whether repair, servicing or replacement is the best route.
Yes. We start by understanding the site, workload, available services, staff workflow, hygiene requirements and long-term priorities. This helps us recommend equipment that fits the operation, rather than simply matching a product to a capacity figure.
For larger projects, refurbishments or new-build schemes, we can also support early planning so that electrical, water, drainage and ventilation requirements are considered before installation.
