Purchase, Rental and Leasing for Laundry and Dishwashing Equipment

Discuss the equipment first, then the payment route that suits your requirements. Thain Commercial can help with outright purchase, while our dedicated Laundry Rental Scotland service handles commercial equipment rental and leasing enquiries.

The right arrangement depends on the machines, support and terms you need. Your proposal explains the ownership, payments and included services before you decide. Eligibility is assessed individually.

Understand Warranty and Ongoing Cover

Standard warranty terms vary by brand and model. Miele Professional equipment and Electrolux Professional laundry equipment carry two years’ parts-and-labour cover. Electrolux Professional dishwashing equipment and Smeg Professional equipment carry one year’s parts-and-labour cover. Primus and Speed Queen carry two years’ parts and one year’s labour.

Your quotation confirms the cover for the chosen model. Warranty-only and warranty-and-service options are available beyond standard cover. These are separate from the support included in an agreed rental or leasing arrangement.

Budget for the Service Cover You Choose

For purchased or other suitable existing machines, discuss labour-only or parts-and-labour maintenance cover. Plans can support one machine, several machines or multiple sites, with the agreed price fixed for the contract term.

Call-outs, travel and labour are included in the agreed plan, with parts included under parts-and-labour cover. Misuse and consumable items are excluded. Our servicing pages explain the available support.

What Happens Next?

Tell us what equipment you need, where it will be installed and your preferred payment route. We will discuss suitable options and prepare a proposal setting out the machines, payments, support and terms.

Customer Feedback

The leisure facility is generating hundreds of towels per day so we needed to be able to handle that volume. I was impressed with the level of research and detail that Thain Commercial provided for the project, working with our Guest Services Manager, on the development side and liaising with the architects. They advised on the plan, piping and all aspects of the operation. What is pleasing is that Thain Commercial do not try to sell something which is over-capacity, in order to increase margins. Instead, they have been thoughtful of our business needs and respectful of our timescales in terms of pushing things forward.
