The SW13 problem
Castelnau covers do not wait for a laundry van
The difference between a supplier who works in Castelnau and one who merely delivers to it shows up on the third Saturday, not the first.
-
The van that arrives mid-service
A late run near Barons Court means napkins arrive while the first covers are already seated.
-
Grease that never lifts
Wine, oil and candle wax need different treatment. A supplier that washes everything on one programme returns cloths you cannot put on a table.
-
Par levels set for a quiet week
A stock level built around a Tuesday does not survive a full Saturday in Castelnau.
How it works
Set up once in Castelnau, then stop thinking about it
Nothing here needs a decision from you after the first week.
-
Covers, not guesswork
We measure usage rather than ask for it. What a turn costs in cloths is rarely the number on the last supplier's sheet.
Before anything changes
-
Par levels that flex
Stock is weighted to the weekend, because that is the service where running short actually costs you something.
Adjusted, not renegotiated
-
Your place on the round
7 days, at a time agreed with you — a standing slot rather than a window assigned each morning.
Outside service hours
-
Ready to lay up
Everything arrives ready to use: linen pressed and counted, whites hung, cloths separated. No unpacking job at the start of a shift.
Counted both ways
Running more than one site in Richmond upon Thames? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
How it is processed
One plant, 5.7 miles from your pass
There is one building between your linen and ours: a plant in Wembley, 5.7 miles from Castelnau, that we own and run.
It is also why a chef jacket and a tablecloth get different treatment here — a subcontractor washes to their schedule, not your soil.

Switching in Castelnau without missing a service
Most Castelnau operators stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like risking a service. It is the objection we hear most, so here is exactly how it runs.
- Before you commit
Your stock gets counted, not estimated
An hour in Castelnau: what goes out on a Saturday, what is still in the wash, what is past saving. You keep every item you own — nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look neater.
- The overlap
Both suppliers run at once
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the SW13 round starts delivering. For that week you are holding more than you need, which is the point — there is no service you lay up short for.
- From then on
Your day, your window, your account manager
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Hammersmith Fulham and Hammersmith are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
We do not ask you to break a contract early. If you are tied in, we plan the start date around your notice period.
The week you switch is the week nobody in Castelnau notices.

Running a busy dining room alongside eight letting rooms needs a versatile laundry partner. Kitchen aprons, table runners and bed sheets all go in one collection, and the seven-day pickup schedule flexes around us.
Liam Gallagher Operations & Pub Manager · Gastro pub with rooms -
Our membership expects discretion and immaculate standards. Dining room linens and guest suites are laundered to a bespoke standard, and the discretion around our account has been absolute.
Alistair Finch Club Secretary & General Manager · Private members' club -
LP Laundry has been an absolute game-changer for our 45-room boutique hotel. Turnaround on our bed linens and heavy plush towels is inside 24 hours without a single delay. We could not be happier with the crisp, immaculate finish.
Charlotte Vance Front of House & Accommodation Manager · 45-room boutique hotel -
Running a high-end spa means going through hundreds of bathrobes and spa towels daily. Our rotation stays fully stocked with exceptionally soft, hygienically pristine textiles. Guest comfort has noticeably improved since we switched.
Siobhan O'Connor Spa Operations Director · Luxury health club & spa -
Our members expect fresh sweat towels immediately after back-to-back spinning classes. They handle our daily volume seamlessly, and I would single out the punctuality and the clean, long-lasting scent of the eco-friendly detergents.
Marcus Thorne Studio Manager · Boutique fitness studio -
In clinical and aesthetic practice, hygiene standards have to meet rigorous compliance. High-temperature sanitised gowns, drapes and bed covers arrive reliably every week. I trust their quality control completely.
Dr Elena Rostova Clinic Director · Private healthcare clinic -
For high-end short-stay apartments, guest reviews live and die by linen quality. We get hotel-grade crispness that consistently earns us five-star cleanliness ratings, and the communication lines are short when something needs resolving.
Beatrice Dupont Head of Housekeeping · Luxury serviced apartments -
We use dozens of salon towels and client gowns every day. Stubborn hair dye and product stains come out effortlessly and our capes still look new. They are an indispensable part of the daily flow here.

The area
Castelnau, specifically
A prestigious residential thoroughfare defined by grand villas and proximity to Hammersmith Bridge. Unique to Castelnau.
Kitchens here sit on the SW13 round, close enough to the plant that a disrupted run is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's sheet.

Castelnau operators usually ask these first
Is Castelnau on one of your rounds?
78 restaurants in Castelnau sit inside the area we already collect from, 5.7 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 64 cafés and 35 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Hammersmith Fulham, Hammersmith and Ravenscourt Park — 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 5.7-mile round trip means a problem is a second trip that day rather than a note on next week's sheet.
How do you deal with grease, wine and wax in Castelnau?
Kitchen soil is treated as kitchen soil. Grease, red wine, oil and candle wax each need a different combination of temperature, dwell time and chemistry, and no single programme gets all four out.
- 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 so the decision about whether a cloth is still good enough is ours, not yours at 6pm.
- Wax is lifted before wash, cold and mechanically — a hot cycle is what makes candle wax permanent.
Do you do chef whites as well as table linen in Castelnau?
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, not folded into a bag for someone to iron again before service.
- 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 a new starter on Monday is not waiting until the following week for a jacket that fits.
We run more than one site around Richmond upon Thames — one account?
One account manager, one invoice. Multi-site operators across Richmond upon Thames 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 with a per-site breakdown, so a head office sees one number and each kitchen still sees its own.
- Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.
What time does the van come in Castelnau?
Outside service, both ways. The SW13 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 Barons Court 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 — the plant is 5.7 miles away, so the recovery is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's schedule.
Our Castelnau covers swing hard. How is stock set?
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 Castelnau — 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 — SW13 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
We own our linen — will you launder it in Castelnau?
Either, and mixed accounts are normal. Hire from us, or we launder stock you already own — the SW13 round collects both the same way and on the same docket.
- Owned stock stays yours. Nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look tidier, and you keep every item you already paid for.
- Hire covers replacement — wear, loss and staining are ours to carry rather than a line that appears on your invoice each quarter.
- Most Castelnau accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
We are a 24-cover place — are we too small?
No minimum order. Castelnau 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 round — the vehicle does not care what is on the sign outside.
- No tie-in and no volume threshold attached to the quote. The price you agree is the price at any volume.
- 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.
Something we have missed?
Ask us directlyRewashing Castelnau linen is the real environmental cost
Most of the environmental cost of restaurant linen is rewashing and early replacement, not the wash itself — a cloth retired at the first oil mark has cost more than one washed twice. In Castelnau there is a second saving: the kitchens here sit close enough together that one round covers them, instead of separate journeys out from Wembley.
- One SW13 round serves Castelnau, Hammersmith Fulham and Hammersmith — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 5.7-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
- Rinse water recovered and reused rather than discharged after a single cycle.
- Stained napkins are worked on twice before they leave the count — replacement is the last resort.
