Hotel Linen In Canterbury Collected To Schedule

Yes — Canterbury sits on the CT1 round, 61.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Blean, Sturry and Fordwich — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the roads around Canterbury West and Canterbury East — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper and simpler than separate accounts.

• One account manager across every Canterbury 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 CT1 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 — collections pause and restart without closing the account.
• No exit fee either — no notice period dressed up as a minimum term.

Worked out with your team in advance — we would rather ask twice than guess once.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — whichever actually works for your building, agreed once and then fixed.
• Timed around Canterbury West because that is where the delay actually happens.
• This is where new suppliers come unstuck — and it is entirely avoidable with one site visit.
• Distance does not appear on the invoice — you are joining an existing journey rather than paying for a new one, which is why a small Canterbury account is still worth having.
• It is recorded against the account, not a person — the arrangement survives a change of driver, which is when most suppliers slip.

At our own plant in Wembley, 61.9 miles from Canterbury. 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. It is an hour out of your day and it answers most of the questions on this page.
• One site means one standard — 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, including the spares you would otherwise be storing.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, useful where the stock is branded or a particular weave.
• Mixed is common — hire the towelling, wash-only the bedding.
• Wear and loss sit with us — you stop budgeting for replacement stock, because replacement is the point of hire.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day.

• No tender and no tie-in — a contract only protects a supplier who expects the service to slip.
• Par levels set per room type, and revisited once we have seen a full month of real usage.
• The audit is free and you keep the numbers whether or not you use us.
• You do not have to be out of contract — 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, so linen leaves as rooms are stripped.
• Changeable — tell the account manager and it changes that week.
• Recovery is same-day, not next-round — 61.9 miles is close enough that the fix is hours away.
