Hotel Linen In Billingsgate Collected On Round

Yes — Billingsgate sits on the EC3R round, 9.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Bridge, Tower and Langbourn — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the roads around Mansion House, Bank and Monument — which sounds trivial until a supplier who does not misses a morning.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

Settled at the audit, written onto the EC3R 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.
• Timed around Mansion House so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• Nine times in ten, a missed first collection is an access problem — and it is entirely avoidable with one site visit.
• Distance does not appear on the invoice — a shared run is what makes 9.4 miles affordable for a property of any size.
• Relief drivers get the same notes — you should not have to re-explain the building every August.

At our own plant in Wembley, 9.4 miles from Billingsgate. No third party, no white-labelling, no surprises about where your linen spent the night.

• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• One process, one audit — traceability only works when there is one chain to trace.
• You can visit. We would rather show you than write about it.
• The chain is short on purpose — 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, including the spares you would otherwise be storing.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, with damaged items flagged rather than quietly retired.
• Mixed is common — there is no rule that says it has to be one or the other.
• Wear and loss sit with us — 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.

• No tender and no tie-in — you stay because it works, or you leave in a month.
• 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.
• Your notice period is our problem, not yours — if you are tied in, we plan the start date around it. The audit and the plan cost you nothing either way.

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, which keeps dirty linen out of your corridors.
• Changeable — seasons shift, occupancy shifts, the slot can shift with them.
• If we miss it, we come back — 9.4 miles is close enough that the fix is hours away.

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

• One account manager across every City of London 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.
• Finance sees one number, each site sees its own — so nobody reconciles it by hand at the end of the month.

No minimum. The van is in EC3R regardless — you are not the reason for the journey.

• 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 — 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.
