Short-Let Linen In Caterham Back On The Round

Not on the day, and nor can anyone else. Five hours is a deadline, not a turnaround window — which is why the clean set is delivered before the guest leaves.

• Three sets per bed — one on the bed, one with us, one on the shelf — means the clean set is already in the Caterham property before the guest has left. The changeover stops depending on us, or on a machine, or on the traffic.
• Collections and drops happen on the same visit, so there is no second trip and no window where a bed sits stripped waiting for a delivery.
• a 21.3-mile plant distance is what makes a same-day recovery possible if a run is disrupted — the fix is hours away, not days.
• The spare set is what protects the booking, not the supplier — which is why we size on beds before we quote.

Caterham is already on the round. The van passes 21.3 miles from the Wembley plant whether you are on it or not.

• Shared with Chaldon, Whyteleafe and Woldingham, so a single flat here costs us a stop rather than a journey — which is why there is no minimum order.
• 7 days collections, in a window agreed when the account opens.
• Access around Caterham is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day.
• a 21.3-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short, which is what a fixed-day service actually depends on.

Whichever suits the item. The van does not care which is in the bag, and the CR3 round prices them the same way.

• Owned stock stays yours. Nothing is bought back to make a contract look tidier.
• Hire covers replacement — greying, wear and loss are ours to carry rather than a cost you absorb every season. For short lets that is usually the larger number, because linen ages in front of paying guests.
• Hire also means consistency. Every set is the same specification, so a replacement does not arrive a shade off the rest of the flat.

Consistency is the practical argument for hire. Every set is the same specification, so the Caterham flat looks in month twenty the way it looked in the listing photos.

• Items are pulled at the check stage so the decision about whether a cover has one more stay in it is ours.
• Commercial pressing is the difference between linen that looks laundered and linen that looks slept in.
• Stains are re-treated before retirement, so a spill on a Saturday is not automatically a replacement cost on the Monday.

Three, per bed, every time. Two is the number most Caterham hosts start with and the number that fails them on the first busy fortnight.

• Two sets fails on a back-to-back. The second set is still with us when the next guest arrives.
• A sofa bed counts as a bed — the most commonly missed set, and always missed on the busiest weekend rather than a quiet one.
• Towels turn faster than bed linen. They are the item that runs out first and the one nobody counts.
• Reviewed after a month of real occupancy in Caterham and adjusted at no charge. Seasonal swing is expected and the level should move with it.

However you already do it. Key safe, concierge, porter or cleaner — we work to the arrangement Caterham buildings already have rather than asking you to invent a new one.

• The same driver runs the round, so access is learned once rather than re-explained to a new face each week.
• Nothing is left on a doorstep. A failed drop becomes a phone call, not a bag in a communal hallway.
• Codes and key-safe details sit on the account, not in a driver's phone, and are changed on request.

One account manager, one invoice. Property managers running several Tandridge addresses are the norm rather than the exception.

• Each property keeps its own par level, because a studio and a three-bed do not turn at the same rate.
• Consolidated billing with a per-property breakdown, so you see one number and can still tell which flat is consuming what.
• Adding a property later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract, a new supplier relationship or a new price.

None, and no term either. One studio in Caterham is a stop on a van that already passes — the economics do not need a minimum.

• No volume threshold attached to the quote. Seasonality is yours to manage, not ours to price around.
• 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.
