Commercial Linen In Barkham Collected To Schedule

Yes — Barkham sits on the RG41 round, 28.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Arborfield, Finchampstead and Wokingham — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

At our own plant in Wembley, 28.3 miles from Barkham. 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 — traceability only works when there is one chain to trace.
• You can visit. It is an hour out of your day and it answers most of the questions on this page.
• One site means one standard — subcontracting is where consistency goes, because the second plant washes to its own schedule rather than to yours.

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

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, which takes linen off your balance sheet entirely.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, with damaged items flagged rather than quietly retired.
• Mixed is common — most properties end up somewhere between the two.
• Stock ageing is our cost, not yours — greying, fraying and losses are carried by us rather than appearing on your invoice each quarter, which is usually the larger number over a year.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day. The nearest hotels we already collect from are the 3 in Wokingham, 2.5 miles away, on the same run.

• 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.
• 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 — so housekeeping hands over to someone who knows the property.
• Planned around check-out, not against it — the van should not be waiting on your team.
• Changeable — if the time stops suiting you we move it.
• Recovery is same-day, not next-round — Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

Yes. Separate accounts for sites on the same round is a billing habit, not a requirement.

• One account manager across every Wokingham site.
• One invoice, with per-site lines, so finance and operations can both use it.
• 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 — small accounts are not queued behind large ones.
• No small-volume premium, and no rounding up to a notional minimum.
• Seasonal properties welcome — no reconnection fee, no renegotiation each spring.
• Nothing to escape from — the arrangement holds because it works, not because it is signed.

Settled at the audit, written onto the RG41 round sheet, and not revisited on the day.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — chosen with housekeeping rather than assumed from the front elevation.
• Nine times in ten, a missed first collection is an access problem — not the laundry, not the van, the door.
• Distance does not appear on the invoice — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• It is recorded against the account, not a person — access details live on the round sheet, so a stand-in is not knocking on the front door.
