Table Linen In Bookham Collected On Round

5 restaurants in Bookham sit inside the area we already collect from, 19.8 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 7 cafés and 3 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Effingham, Fetcham and Mickleham — one vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a kitchen here without adding a journey, and why the price does not carry a delivery surcharge.
• 7 days collections, in a window agreed when the account opens rather than assigned by a routing system on the morning.
• a 19.8-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.

It depends entirely on the mark. Oil, wine and wax behave differently in a wash, and treating them the same is how cloths come back looking tired after a season.

• Items are sorted before washing, not after. Mixing table linen with kitchen cloths is the single fastest way to grey a white.
• Marked items are pulled at the check stage and re-treated before they go back out. Most recover; the ones that do not are replaced from stock rather than returned to you to notice.
• Wax is lifted before wash, because heat drives it into the weave and fixes it there for good.

Same round, same invoice. Chef jackets, aprons, trousers, oven cloths and kitchen cloths are collected with the table linen — there is no second supplier and no second delivery day to remember.

• Whites come back on hangers, ready to hang up — which is the only state a chef jacket is useful in.
• Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — so the right cloth is where it should be before service starts.
• Sizes are held in stock, so hiring someone does not mean borrowing a jacket two sizes out.

One account manager, one invoice. Multi-site operators across Mole Valley are the norm rather than the exception, and the round does not change — only the drop list does.

• Each site keeps its own par level. The busy site gets the depth it needs without the quiet one paying for stock it never uses.
• Consolidated billing that shows the total and the split, so nobody has to reconcile it by hand.
• Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.

Outside service, both ways. The KT23 slot is agreed before the account opens and does not move week to week — it is a fixed place on a round, not a two-hour window that lands mid-lunch.

• Access around Bookham is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day. Loading restrictions and one-way systems are the reason most suppliers drift late here.
• Deliveries land before the doors open, which is the difference between laying up calmly and laying up at speed.
• If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — a 19.8-mile plant means the fix is hours away rather than days.

The weekend sets the level. Stock that only just covers midweek runs out exactly when the room is full and nobody has time to notice.

• We count a real week in Bookham — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
• Reviewed after a full month of live usage and adjusted, with no renegotiation and no change fee.
• Seasonal swing is expected — KT23 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

Whichever suits the item. We hire and we wash-only, and the KT23 round does not care which is in the bag.

• Owned stock stays yours. We do not buy it off you at a discount to simplify the paperwork.
• Hire covers replacement — the cost of a cloth reaching the end of its life sits with us, not with you.
• Most Bookham accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

No minimum order. Bookham is already on the round, so a small account costs us a stop rather than a journey — which is exactly why some suppliers quote a minimum here and we do not.

• Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same run, and a 24-cover room is priced on what it actually uses.
• No tie-in and no volume threshold — a slow month does not move you onto a worse rate.
• Growing later is a par-level change, not a renegotiation — adding a second flat does not reopen the contract.
• No exit fee. If it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock.
