Commercial Linen In Aylesham Collected To Schedule

Yes — Aylesham sits on the CT3 round, 7 days, 68.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Fordwich, Sturry and Canterbury — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Aylesham and Snowdown — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is reading a map on your doorstep.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

Before you open, because that is how the CT3 round is ordered. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Aylesham and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — rather than whatever the machine was doing before.
• Milk protein needs the right temperature, not just a hotter one — past a point, heat bonds the protein to the cloth.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Aylesham in February and Aylesham in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.

No minimum, on any line. A one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.

• Small sites go on the same CT3 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Aylesham.
• A dozen aprons and a bundle of tea towels is a real account — small does not mean awkward.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Aylesham and a busy July are the same account.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Aylesham accounts run half and half.

• Hire — stock, replacement and par management are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
• Plenty of cafes do both — branding matters on the apron, rarely on the tea towel behind the counter.

Tell your account manager and collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
• Most Aylesham cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same CT3 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — the round does not change when the kitchen opens.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 1 restaurants around CT3 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.
