Commercial Linen In Aldermaston Collected To Schedule

Yes — Aldermaston sits on the RG7 round, 38.9 miles from our Wembley plant. and 1 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Padworth, Ufton Nervet and Midgham — one vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a kitchen here without adding a journey, and why the price does not carry a delivery surcharge.
• 7 days collections, on a fixed day and time that does not drift week to week.
• a 38.9-mile round trip means a problem is a second trip that day rather than a note on next week's sheet.

Kitchen soil is treated as kitchen soil. Grease, red wine, oil and candle wax each need a different combination of temperature, dwell time and chemistry, and no single programme gets all four out.

• Items are sorted before washing, not after. Mixing table linen with kitchen cloths is the single fastest way to grey a white.
• Marked items are pulled at the check stage and re-treated before they go back out. Most recover; the ones that do not are replaced from stock rather than returned to you to notice.
• Wax is lifted before wash, because heat drives it into the weave and fixes it there for good.

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, ready to hang up — which is the only state a chef jacket is useful in.
• Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — because sorting a mixed bag at 5pm is nobody's job.
• Sizes are held in stock, so hiring someone does not mean borrowing a jacket two sizes out.

One account manager, one invoice. Multi-site operators across West Berkshire 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 with a per-site breakdown, so a head office sees one number and each kitchen still sees its own.
• Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.

Outside service, both ways. The RG7 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.

• 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 — a 38.9-mile plant means the fix is hours away rather than days.

The weekend sets the level. Stock that only just covers midweek runs out exactly when the room is full and nobody has time to notice.

• We count a real week in Aldermaston — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
• Reviewed after a full month and changed if the first number was wrong. It often is, in both directions.
• Seasonal swing is expected — RG7 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

Whichever suits the item. We hire and we wash-only, and the RG7 round does not care which is in the bag.

• Owned stock stays yours. What you bought, you keep — including the items we would not have chosen.
• Hire covers replacement — wear, loss and staining are ours to carry rather than a line that appears on your invoice each quarter.
• Most Aldermaston accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

Nothing is too small if you are on the round. Aldermaston already is, so the question is what you use, not how much.

• Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same run, and a 24-cover room is priced on what it actually uses.
• 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.
