Just not being decent enough to give me a heads up after a year.
If you forgot to invoice someone for work, you'd call first and say hey I'm going to get that invoice to you finally.

Send him a cheque for £150 and tell him to take it or leave it.
Edit: although if it were me, I'd just pay the £240 and forget about it.

But what difference would that have made in practice?

But they haven't forgotten to invoice you for work they did for you. They asked you to pay for the repairs which they've now got round to doing which you said you'd pay for. I think the analogy is flawed. If you forget to invoice someone for your work, that's your fault because you could have sent the invoice earlier but didn't. They couldn't have asked you to pay for the works earlier, because they hadn't got them done. It doesn't seem reasonable for you to complain that they've taken too long to do the work, and while it might have been polite to let you know the works were going ahead I really can't see what difference that would made. After all, what were you ever going to say in response other than 'Yeah, OK then'?

Pay the 240 in a years time

Buuuuut, you said you'd be paying. So they weren't assuming. They were just taking you at your word.
Rather failing to see what the issue is here. Your washing machine damaged their flat. You said you'd pay for the repairs. They've got the repairs done, at a price which doesn't seem excessive, and asked you to pay for it.
Yes, it's taken them a while to get it done, but (a) it's no skin off your nose if you get to hang onto your £240 for an extra year and (b) surely it's up to them when they get it done? It is their flat, after all. Seems a bit much for you to try and dictate the timescale for the repairs.
