Hospitality Linen In Bricket Wood Collected On Round

Yes — Bricket Wood sits on the AL2 round, 10.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Abbots Langley, Radlett and Aldenham — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the roads around Bricket Wood — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

Either, and you can change later without changing supplier.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, so nothing is tied up in sheets.
• 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.
• 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. The nearest hotels we already collect from are the 1 in Abbots Langley, 2.3 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, worked out from your occupancy rather than a rule of thumb.
• The audit is free and you keep the numbers whether or not you use us.
• Your notice period is our problem, not yours — the count happens whenever suits; the round starts when you are free.

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.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

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

• One account manager across every St Albans site.
• One invoice, consolidated but itemised — one payment, full visibility.
• Par stock tracked per site — the usual multi-property problem is linen drifting between buildings and being paid for twice.
• One invoice, itemised by property — which is what stops one busy property quietly subsidising a quiet one.

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.
• Nothing to escape from — 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.

Settled at the audit, written onto the AL2 round sheet, and not revisited on the day.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — whichever actually works for your building, agreed once and then fixed.
• Timed around Bricket Wood because that is where the delay actually happens.
• Nine times in ten, a missed first collection is an access problem — a supplier who has not walked the building finds out on your floor, not theirs.
• Distance does not appear on the invoice — a shared run is what makes 10.5 miles affordable for a property of any size.
• 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, 10.5 miles from Bricket Wood. One building, ours, every load.

• 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. It is an hour out of your day and it answers most of the questions on this page.
• Nothing is passed to a third party — we own the plant, so a complaint has one address rather than two.
