Hospitality Linen In Bearsted Collected To Schedule

Yes — Bearsted sits on the ME14 round, 41.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Maidstone, Coxheath and Aylesford — one van, one run, which is what keeps the cost of a small account sensible.
• The driver knows the roads around Bearsted — the same crew runs it each week, so nobody is reading a map on your loading bay.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

Agreed before the first collection, not on the morning.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — recorded against the account so a relief driver has it too.
• Timed around Bearsted so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• It is the usual failure point — not the laundry, not the van, the door.
• The mileage is not billed back to you — you are joining an existing journey rather than paying for a new one, which is why a small Bearsted account is still worth having.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — access details live on the round sheet, so a stand-in is not knocking on the front door.

At our own plant in Wembley, 41.6 miles from Bearsted. 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. Clients who come tend to sign.
• The chain is short on purpose — subcontracting is where consistency goes, because the second plant washes to its own schedule rather than to yours.

Either, and you can change later without changing supplier.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, which takes linen off your balance sheet entirely.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, useful where the stock is branded or a particular weave.
• Mixed is common — most properties end up somewhere between the two.
• Hire covers replacement — 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 8 in Maidstone, 1.9 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, so housekeeping never opens an empty cupboard.
• The audit is free and you keep the numbers whether or not you use us.
• You do not have to be out of contract — we work to your notice, not against it.

A standing slot, 7 days — the same time each week, which is the point.

• Same driver each week — familiar faces make short conversations, and short conversations keep the round on time.
• Planned around check-out, not against it — the van should not be waiting on your team.
• Changeable — tell the account manager and it changes that week.
• If we miss it, we come back — the plant is 41.6 miles away, so a disrupted run is a second trip rather than a note on next week's schedule.

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

• One account manager across every Maidstone 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.
• One invoice, itemised by property — which is what stops one busy property quietly subsidising a quiet one.

No minimum. The van is in ME14 regardless — you are not the reason for the journey.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — the process does not know how many rooms you have.
• No small-volume premium, and no rounding up to a notional minimum.
• Seasonal properties welcome — we would rather hold the slot than lose the relationship.
• No exit fee either — if it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock. A contract you cannot leave is a contract we would rather not have.
