The CR9 problem
Addington service starts before the doors do
The difference between a supplier who works in Addington and one who merely delivers to it shows up on the third Saturday, not the first.
-
Deliveries that miss service
One delay around Waddon and the pass is stacked with kitchen cloths nobody can replace.
-
Grease that never lifts
A creased cloth is a two-second judgement made before anyone has read the menu.
-
Running out on a Friday
A stock level built around a Tuesday does not survive a full Saturday in Addington.
From first call to first collection in Addington
Starting in Addington takes a week, not a quarter
Nothing here needs a decision from you after the first week.
-
What you use in a week
An hour looking at what Addington actually gets through: a midweek service, a full Saturday, and the difference between them.
Booked within days in CR9
-
Weekend-weighted stock
We size to the peak and let the quiet days look over-supplied — the opposite arrangement fails when the room is full.
Adjusted, not renegotiated
-
Your place on the round
7 days, at a time agreed with you — a standing slot rather than a window assigned each morning.
Timed around CR9 access
-
Ready to lay up
Pressed, counted, hung and bagged — the delivery is finished when it lands rather than when someone has sorted it.
Every load logged
Running more than one site in Croydon? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
Standards
Addington cloths are washed where we say they are
Your cloths go to one place — a plant in Wembley, 15.4 miles from Addington, owned and staffed by us rather than rented capacity somewhere else.
It also means kitchen soil is treated as kitchen soil — grease, wine and wax on the right programme, not whatever the machine was already running.

Addington handovers happen between services, not during them
Most Addington operators stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like risking a service. It is the objection we hear most, so here is exactly how it runs.
- Week one
An hour on site, before anything changes
An hour in Addington: what goes out on a Saturday, what is still in the wash, what is past saving. You keep every item you own — nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look neater.
- The overlap
Both suppliers run at once
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the CR9 round starts delivering. For that week you are holding more than you need, which is the point — there is no service you lay up short for.
- Week three
One round, one contact
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Croydon and South Croydon are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
No exit fee, no buy-back, no minimum term to escape from. If your notice runs to March, we start in March.
No Addington guest should ever meet your laundry supplier.

Running a busy dining room alongside eight letting rooms needs a versatile laundry partner. Kitchen aprons, table runners and bed sheets all go in one collection, and the seven-day pickup schedule flexes around us.
Liam Gallagher Operations & Pub Manager · Gastro pub with rooms -
LP Laundry has been an absolute game-changer for our 45-room boutique hotel. Turnaround on our bed linens and heavy plush towels is inside 24 hours without a single delay. We could not be happier with the crisp, immaculate finish.
Charlotte Vance Front of House & Accommodation Manager · 45-room boutique hotel -
Running a high-end spa means going through hundreds of bathrobes and spa towels daily. Our rotation stays fully stocked with exceptionally soft, hygienically pristine textiles. Guest comfort has noticeably improved since we switched.
Siobhan O'Connor Spa Operations Director · Luxury health club & spa -
Our members expect fresh sweat towels immediately after back-to-back spinning classes. They handle our daily volume seamlessly, and I would single out the punctuality and the clean, long-lasting scent of the eco-friendly detergents.
Marcus Thorne Studio Manager · Boutique fitness studio -
In clinical and aesthetic practice, hygiene standards have to meet rigorous compliance. High-temperature sanitised gowns, drapes and bed covers arrive reliably every week. I trust their quality control completely.
Dr Elena Rostova Clinic Director · Private healthcare clinic -
For high-end short-stay apartments, guest reviews live and die by linen quality. We get hotel-grade crispness that consistently earns us five-star cleanliness ratings, and the communication lines are short when something needs resolving.
Beatrice Dupont Head of Housekeeping · Luxury serviced apartments -
We use dozens of salon towels and client gowns every day. Stubborn hair dye and product stains come out effortlessly and our capes still look new. They are an indispensable part of the daily flow here.
Chloe St. Laurent Salon Owner & Manager · Hair & beauty salon -
We rely on clean bolster covers, fleece blankets and eye pillows. Delicate fabrics are treated with care while still getting a deep, hypoallergenic sanitisation, and everything comes back beautifully presented.

The area
Addington — what the round has to work around
An energetic part of Addington featuring a mix of historic architecture and modern living. Unique to Addington.
Kitchens here sit on the CR9 round, close enough to the plant that a disrupted run is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's sheet.

Addington questions, answered
Is Addington on one of your rounds?
61 restaurants in Addington sit inside the area we already collect from, 15.4 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 61 cafés and 28 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Croydon, South Croydon and West Croydon — the round already passes, so you are joining a journey rather than paying for a new one.
- 7 days collections, in a window agreed when the account opens rather than assigned by a routing system on the morning.
- a 15.4-mile round trip means a problem is a second trip that day rather than a note on next week's sheet.
Will marked Addington cloths come back marked?
It depends entirely on the mark. Oil, wine and wax behave differently in a wash, and treating them the same is how cloths come back looking tired after a season.
- Items are sorted before washing, not after. A tablecloth and an oven cloth never share a load — that is how cloths come back grey.
- Marked items are pulled at the check stage so the decision about whether a cloth is still good enough is ours, not yours at 6pm.
- Wax is lifted before wash, because heat drives it into the weave and fixes it there for good.
Can Addington chef jackets go with the tablecloths?
Same round, same invoice. Chef jackets, aprons, trousers, oven cloths and kitchen cloths are collected with the table linen — there is no second supplier and no second delivery day to remember.
- Whites come back on hangers, sized and named where you want them named, so they go straight to the changing area rather than onto a pile.
- Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — so the right cloth is where it should be before service starts.
- Sizes are held in stock, so a new starter on Monday is not waiting until the following week for a jacket that fits.
Can several Croydon venues share a contract?
One account manager, one invoice. Multi-site operators across Croydon are the norm rather than the exception, and the round does not change — only the drop list does.
- Each site keeps its own par level. The busy site gets the depth it needs without the quiet one paying for stock it never uses.
- Consolidated billing on one invoice, itemised by site — one number for finance, the detail for whoever asks.
- Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.
When do you collect in Addington — will it clash with service?
Outside service, both ways. The CR9 slot is agreed before the account opens and does not move week to week — it is a fixed place on a round, not a two-hour window that lands mid-lunch.
- Access around Waddon is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day. Loading restrictions and one-way systems are the reason most suppliers drift late here.
- Deliveries land before the doors open, so the team lays up with what arrived that morning rather than what was left in the cupboard.
- If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — the plant is 15.4 miles away, so the recovery is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's schedule.
Can par levels handle a full Saturday in Addington?
Par is set to your busiest service, not your average one. A stock level built around a Tuesday fails on a Saturday, which is the night it matters.
- We count a real week in Addington — covers midweek, covers at the weekend, and how many cloths a turn actually costs you rather than what the last supplier's sheet said.
- Reviewed after a full month and changed if the first number was wrong. It often is, in both directions.
- Seasonal swing is expected — CR9 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
We own our linen — will you launder it in Addington?
Either, and mixed accounts are normal. Hire from us, or we launder stock you already own — the CR9 round collects both the same way and on the same docket.
- Owned stock stays yours. Nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look tidier, and you keep every item you already paid for.
- Hire covers replacement — which is usually the larger number over a year, because linen wears out in public.
- Most Addington accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
Is a small Addington café too small for you?
No minimum order. Addington is already on the round, so a small account costs us a stop rather than a journey — which is exactly why some suppliers quote a minimum here and we do not.
- Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants and are priced the same way: on usage, not on category.
- No tie-in and no volume threshold attached to the quote. The price you agree is the price at any volume.
- Growing later is a par-level change, not a renegotiation — adding a second flat does not reopen the contract.
- No exit fee. If it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock.

Ask us directlyGetting it right first time in Addington
Most of the environmental cost of restaurant linen is rewashing and early replacement, not the wash itself — a cloth retired at the first oil mark has cost more than one washed twice. In Addington there is a second saving: the kitchens here sit close enough together that one round covers them, instead of separate journeys out from Wembley.
- One CR9 round serves Addington, Croydon and South Croydon — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 15.4-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
- Water from the final rinse is recovered and feeds the next wash rather than the drain.
- Stained napkins are worked on twice before they leave the count — replacement is the last resort.
