Hospitality Linen In Abbey Wood Collected On Round

Yes — Abbey Wood sits on the SE2 round, 18.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Thamesmead East, Thamesmead and Belvedere — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the roads around Abbey Wood — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

Settled at the audit, written onto the SE2 round sheet, and not revisited on the day.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — chosen with housekeeping rather than assumed from the front elevation.
• Timed around Abbey Wood so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• It is the usual failure point — not the laundry, not the van, the door.
• Distance does not appear on the invoice — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• Relief drivers get the same notes — you should not have to re-explain the building every August.

At our own plant in Wembley, 18.1 miles from Abbey Wood. One building, ours, every load.

• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• One process, one audit — traceability only works when there is one chain to trace.
• You can visit. It is an hour out of your day and it answers most of the questions on this page.
• The chain is short on purpose — subcontracting is where consistency goes, because the second plant washes to its own schedule rather than to yours.

Whichever suits the property — and it can change as the property does.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, so nothing is tied up in sheets.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, useful where the stock is branded or a particular weave.
• Mixed is common — there is no rule that says it has to be one or the other.
• Stock ageing is our cost, not yours — greying, fraying and losses are carried by us rather than appearing on your invoice each quarter, which is usually the larger number over a year.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day. The nearest hotels we already collect from are the 1 in Belvedere, 1.4 miles away, on the same run.

• No tender and no tie-in — thirty days notice, no exit fee.
• Par levels set per room type, worked out from your occupancy rather than a rule of thumb.
• The audit is free and you keep the numbers whether or not you use us.
• You do not have to be out of contract — if you are tied in, we plan the start date around it. The audit and the plan cost you nothing either way.

A standing slot, 7 days — fixed, not 'sometime that morning'.

• Same driver each week — so housekeeping hands over to someone who knows the property.
• Planned around check-out, not against it — the van should not be waiting on your team.
• Changeable — if the time stops suiting you we move it.
• If we miss it, we come back — the plant is 18.1 miles away, so a disrupted run is a second trip rather than a note on next week's schedule.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper and simpler than separate accounts.

• One account manager across every Greenwich site.
• One invoice, with per-site lines, so finance and operations can both use it.
• Par stock tracked per site — without it, stock migrates to whichever site shouts loudest.
• One invoice, itemised by property — so nobody reconciles it by hand at the end of the month.

No minimum. The round is already passing, which is the whole reason we can say that.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — small accounts are not queued behind large ones.
• No small-volume premium, because you are not the reason the van is on the road.
• Seasonal properties welcome — collections pause and restart without closing the account.
• You can stop — the arrangement holds because it works, not because it is signed.
