random UK wording question

Ridiculously stupid questions, but I am anal, so here goes: Are there laundromats there? Are the machines called washers and dryers? And do you call it doing laundry?

There's was one near where I live that was named Washerteria (closed down a few years ago), but I've never heard anyone call the thing itself a washateria.

It's the common term down here in Texas. At least in Houston. Might even be an East Texas thing for all I know.
