Why hosts across Richmond upon Thames choose LPLaundry
Richmond upon Thames is not a short-let cluster, and that changes nothing about how a flat here is served: no minimum order, no contract, the same plant and the same checks.
The problem
5 areas on one round
Our fix
We already collect across Richmond upon Thames 7 days a week. One flat or fifty, it is the same round and there is no minimum order.
The problem
One account for a portfolio
Our fix
Run flats in more than one part of Richmond upon Thames? They go on one account — one invoice, one collection, one person to call.
The problem
Washed at our own plant
Our fix
Everything goes to LPLaundry's own plant in Wembley, under an ISO 9001:2015 quality system. Nothing is subcontracted and nothing is washed in a flat.
The problem
The changeover that goes wrong
Our fix
Order a spare set by 11am and it is with you before a 3pm check-in. That is what the third set per bed is for.

Where it is actually washed
There is one building between your linen and ours: a plant in Wembley that we own and run — not a domestic machine in a cupboard.
Across 11 buildings in Richmond upon Thames that matters more, not less: the same wash, the same spec and the same fold, whichever door it goes through.
Both plants are ours — Wembley for production and Harrow — so nothing about your linen is subcontracted, and the quality system behind it is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
