Hospitality Linen In Albany Park Collected On Round

Yes — Albany Park sits on the DA14 round, 19.7 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Foots Cray, Blackfen and Sidcup — the same vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a property here without moving anyone else's slot.
• The driver knows the roads around Albany Park — which sounds trivial until a supplier who does not misses a morning.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

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

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, which takes linen off your balance sheet entirely.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, useful where the stock is branded or a particular weave.
• Mixed is common — hire the towelling, wash-only the bedding.
• Hire covers replacement — you stop budgeting for replacement stock, because replacement is the point of hire.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day. The nearest hotels we already collect from are the 2 in Foots Cray, 0.6 miles away, on the same run.

• No tender and no tie-in — you stay because it works, or you leave in a month.
• 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.
• Nothing needs to end first — we work to your notice, not against it.

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

• Same driver each week — familiar faces make short conversations, and short conversations keep the round on time.
• Planned around check-out, which keeps dirty linen out of your corridors.
• Changeable — seasons shift, occupancy shifts, the slot can shift with them.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — 19.7 miles is close enough that the fix is hours away.

Yes — most of our multi-site work is in Bexley, and it is where the savings actually are.

• One account manager across every Bexley site.
• One invoice, broken down per property so you can still see where it goes.
• Par stock tracked per site — without it, stock migrates to whichever site shouts loudest.
• Finance sees one number, each site sees its own — the total and the split, on the same document.

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

• Same turnaround regardless of size — the process does not know how many rooms you have.
• No small-volume premium, because you are not the reason the van is on the road.
• Seasonal properties welcome — no reconnection fee, no renegotiation each spring.
• Nothing to escape from — if it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock. A contract you cannot leave is a contract we would rather not have.

Settled at the audit, written onto the DA14 round sheet, and not revisited on the day.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — recorded against the account so a relief driver has it too.
• Timed around Albany Park because that is where the delay actually happens.
• Nine times in ten, a missed first collection is an access problem — not the laundry, not the van, the door.
• The mileage is not billed back to you — you are joining an existing journey rather than paying for a new one, which is why a small Albany Park account is still worth having.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — the arrangement survives a change of driver, which is when most suppliers slip.

At our own plant in Wembley, 19.7 miles from Albany Park. 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 — a certificate covering a site you do not control is a certificate covering nothing.
• You can visit. It is an hour out of your day and it answers most of the questions on this page.
• Nothing is passed to a third party — a supplier who cannot tell you which building your linen is in cannot promise you much about how it was washed.
