Hotel Linen In Ashford Collected To Schedule

Yes — Ashford sits on the TN23 round, 57.7 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Wye, Hamstreet and Charing — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the roads around Ashford International — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

Worked out with your team in advance — we would rather ask twice than guess once.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — chosen with housekeeping rather than assumed from the front elevation.
• Timed around Ashford International because that is where the delay actually happens.
• This is where new suppliers come unstuck — a supplier who has not walked the building finds out on your floor, not theirs.
• The mileage is not billed back to you — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• Relief drivers get the same notes — access details live on the round sheet, so a stand-in is not knocking on the front door.

At our own plant in Wembley, 57.7 miles from Ashford. No third party, no white-labelling, no surprises about where your linen spent the night.

• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
• 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.
• The chain is short on purpose — we own the plant, so a complaint has one address rather than two.

Either, and you can change later without changing supplier.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, including the spares you would otherwise be storing.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, processed to the same spec.
• Mixed is common — there is no rule that says it has to be one or the other.
• Stock ageing is our cost, not yours — the par level does not quietly drop over a season while nobody is counting.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day.

• No tender and no tie-in — thirty days notice, no exit fee.
• Par levels set per room type, so housekeeping never opens an empty cupboard.
• The audit is free and carries no obligation.
• Your notice period is our problem, not yours — the count happens whenever suits; the round starts when you are free.

A standing slot, 7 days — a time, not a window.

• Same driver each week — familiar faces make short conversations, and short conversations keep the round on time.
• Planned around check-out, so linen leaves as rooms are stripped.
• Changeable — tell the account manager and it changes that week.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — 57.7 miles is close enough that the fix is hours away.

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

• One account manager across every Ashford site.
• One invoice, consolidated but itemised — one payment, full visibility.
• Par stock tracked per site — without it, stock migrates to whichever site shouts loudest.
• Finance sees one number, each site sees its own — 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 — the process does not know how many rooms you have.
• No small-volume premium, which is the part most suppliers will not put in writing.
• Seasonal properties welcome — collections pause and restart without closing the account.
• No exit fee either — no notice period dressed up as a minimum term.
