Exceeding Your Expectations in Commercial Cleaning

At Luxdon, we have a rich history that dates back to 1887, when two sisters, Misses Ramage, operated a small laundry business in Syrma Place. Over the years, our business has evolved and grown, with significant milestones marked by the introduction of new technologies, the expansion of our services, and the proud heritage of serving the North East region.

Our History

Our journey began in 1887, when the Ramage sisters started a small laundry business in Syrma Place. In 1917, the Laundry moved to Wycliffe Road, and Henry Lumsdon Taylor, the son of the founder, was apprenticed to the Hartlepool Laundry. After seeing service as a sniper in France with the Quayside Battalion of the Northumberland Fusiliers, Henry returned to the family business, introducing new machinery and pioneering the domestic service during the interwar years.

During World War II, our Laundry played a significant role in processing soldiers' laundry, and Henry also commanded a company of the Home Guard. After the war, we continued to grow, introducing the pioneering Cellopac domestic service and overall replacement service for factories, serving over 12,000 homes and processing 14,000 overalls per week.

In 1961, a serious fire destroyed our main premises, but we continued business with the help of other regional laundries until a new factory was opened in Wycliffe Road in 1962. By the 1970s, we operated 11 Sunderland depots and 11 scattered around County Durham, with another in Gosforth.
