Commercial Linen In Aylesham Collected To Schedule

Yes — Aylesham sits on the CT3 round, 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 roads around Aylesham and Snowdown — 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.

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, so linen leaves as rooms are stripped.
• Changeable — seasons shift, occupancy shifts, the slot can shift with them.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper and simpler than separate accounts.

• One account manager across every Dover site.
• One invoice, broken down per property so you can still see where it goes.
• Par stock tracked per site — the usual multi-property problem is linen drifting between buildings and being paid for twice.
• Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown — so nobody reconciles it by hand at the end of the month.

No minimum. Minimums exist to cover a dedicated trip. This is not one.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — a six-room guest house gets what a 200-room hotel gets.
• No small-volume premium, and no rounding up to a notional minimum.
• Seasonal properties welcome — collections pause and restart without closing the account.
• You can stop — no notice period dressed up as a minimum term.

Agreed before the first collection, not on the morning.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — whichever actually works for your building, agreed once and then fixed.
• Timed around Aylesham and the traffic that comes with it.
• This is where new suppliers come unstuck — and it is entirely avoidable with one site visit.
• The mileage is not billed back to you — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — you should not have to re-explain the building every August.

At our own plant in Wembley, 68.3 miles from Aylesham. One building, ours, every load.

• 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. Clients who come tend to sign.
• The chain is short on purpose — we own the plant, so a complaint has one address rather than two.

Both are available, and moving between them does not mean a new account.

• 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 — hire the towelling, wash-only the bedding.
• Stock ageing is our cost, not yours — 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 40 in Canterbury, 6.6 miles away, on the same run.

• No tender and no tie-in — a contract only protects a supplier who expects the service to slip.
• Par levels set per room type, and revisited once we have seen a full month of real usage.
• The audit is free and carries no obligation.
• Nothing needs to end first — we work to your notice, not against it.
