Hotel Linen In Blean Collected To Schedule

Yes — Blean sits on the CT2 round, 60.6 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Canterbury, Sturry and Fordwich — the same vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a property here without moving anyone else's slot.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

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, worked out from your occupancy rather than a rule of thumb.
• The audit is free and carries no obligation.
• You do not have to be out of contract — we work to your notice, not against it.

A standing slot, 7 days — a time, not a window.

• Same driver each week — continuity matters more here than most suppliers admit.
• 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.
• Recovery is same-day, not next-round — 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 Canterbury site.
• One invoice, with per-site lines, so finance and operations can both use it.
• 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 — the total and the split, on the same document.

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, which is the part most suppliers will not put in writing.
• Seasonal properties welcome — no reconnection fee, no renegotiation each spring.
• No exit fee either — no notice period dressed up as a minimum term.

Settled at the audit, written onto the CT2 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.
• This is where new suppliers come unstuck — a supplier who has not walked the building finds out on your floor, not theirs.
• No delivery surcharge for the distance — you are joining an existing journey rather than paying for a new one, which is why a small Blean account is still worth having.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — the arrangement survives a change of driver, which is when most suppliers slip.

At our own plant in Wembley, 60.6 miles from Blean. Nothing is subcontracted to a third site.

• 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. We would rather show you than write about it.
• Nothing is passed to a third party — a supplier who cannot tell you which building your linen is in cannot promise you much about how it was washed.

Whichever suits the property — and it can change as the property does.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, so nothing is tied up in sheets.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, processed to the same spec.
• Mixed is common — there is no rule that says it has to be one or the other.
• Wear and loss sit with us — the par level does not quietly drop over a season while nobody is counting.
