What goes wrong

An empty rack at six is the Chatham complaint you hear about

Almost nobody around ME4 changes towel supplier to save money. They change because the same thing went wrong three weeks running.

  • Running out at the evening peak

    Towel demand stacks into roughly two hours rather than spreading across opening. A par count set on a daily average leaves the Chatham rack empty exactly when the floor is busiest.

  • Towels that come back smelling

    A towel can pass inspection dry and fail it in use. Oil left in the fibre only announces itself once the towel warms up, which is after it has reached a member.

  • Stock that never quite balances

    Loss is normal and predictable. Pretending otherwise is what turns a towel account into a reconciliation exercise nobody wins.

How it works

Getting a Chatham club onto the round

Most of the work happens before the first collection. Get the peak-hour count right and the towel rack stops being something the duty manager thinks about.

Serving ME4 Since 2009
  1. The count

    We count against your peak rather than your average — a Monday evening and a Sunday morning in Chatham are different businesses, and the par level has to survive both.

    An hour, at peak

  2. The round

    ME4 already has a collection day. We fit you to it and agree a time that lands before the evening rush rather than during it.

    ME4 · 7 days

  3. The switch

    Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down, so there is never an evening with an empty rack.

    No gap in service

  4. The account

    The same person handles Chatham every week, which is why a change to your par count does not need explaining twice.

    One name, not a queue

Running more than one club around Medway? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.

How it is processed

Your Chatham stock, washed by us and nobody else

There are two buildings between your towels and ours, and we own both. Chatham collections run 36.9 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.

Gym towelling is its own classification. Sweat and body oil need a different wash to bed linen or table linen — get it wrong and the towel smells clean until it warms up.

Switching supplier in Chatham without an empty rack

The reason Chatham operators put up with a supplier they have stopped rating is timing: there is no good week to gamble on towels. That is a scheduling problem, not a reason to stay.

  1. Before you commit

    We count your peak, not your average

    We count the Chatham floor between five and seven rather than take a number off your last invoice — the invoice records what you were sold, not what the rack needed.

  2. The handover

    Stock lands before the old supplier stops

    You are never between suppliers. New stock is on the shelf before the last collection of the old contract.

  3. After

    Par counts adjust once we have seen a month

    First counts are an estimate. After four weeks we set them against what you actually used, including what walked out of the door.

Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the quote cost nothing.

Spa robes and folded towels ready for Chatham guests

The week you switch is the week nobody notices.

  • 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
  • We rely on clean bolster covers, fleece blankets and eye pillows. Delicate fabrics are treated with care while still getting a deep, hypoallergenic sanitisation, and everything comes back beautifully presented.
    Hannah Sterling Studio Coordinator · Yoga & pilates studio
  • 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
  • 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
  • Table presentation is everything in Mayfair. They handle our heavy cotton damask tablecloths and chef whites with real precision — stains vanish and the starch finish is always spot on. The daily collection has never let us down.
    Mateo Rossi Restaurant General Manager · Fine dining restaurant
  • 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
  • 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.

About Chatham

Why Chatham is collected the way it is

A dynamic Medway town famous for its historic dockyard and significant maritime legacy. Unique to Chatham.

Chatham is collected 7 days on a shared round, so a single studio here costs a stop rather than a journey.

Asked most often about Chatham towel accounts

Is Chatham on a towel round?

Yes — Chatham sits on the ME4 round, 7 days, 36.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

  • Shared with Rochester, Medway and Gillingham — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single studio sensible to price.
  • The driver knows the streets around Chatham and Rochester — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your service entrance.
  • Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because Chatham is only 36.9 miles out.
  • 2 clubs and spas around ME4 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for towel volume rather than adapted to it.
Is a Chatham spa a separate account?

Yes, and they are genuinely different jobs on the same account. The gym side is judged on whether the rack is full; the spa side on how the robe feels.

  • Robes are laundered to keep their handle — softness is the point on a robe, and it is achieved by the wash rather than by softener.
  • Bath mats run on a heavier classification — than towelling, and mixing the two shortens the life of both.
  • One collection, one invoice — the split is in the classification, not in the account.
  • Hotel spas are a normal account — and the hotel laundry page covers how the rooms side is priced.
Do you lock ME4 clubs into a term?

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee. Nothing in the agreement is designed to make leaving awkward.

  • Terms flex with seasonal demand — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
  • Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will count your peak while you are still under someone else.
  • Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.
  • If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.
Is there a reason Chatham towels come back smelling?

Because sweat and body oil build up in the fibre and a general wash does not shift them. Cold it is fine; warm and damp it is not, and that is after it has reached a member.

  • Gym towelling runs on its own classification — not as the tail end of a bed linen load.
  • Oil needs a different temperature from sweat — one general cycle addresses neither properly.
  • Towels that stop absorbing are usually over-softened, not worn out — that is a wash problem, not a replacement problem.
  • Every load is temperature logged — and the log sits against your account, not a general plant figure.
What happens about towels that go missing?

Towels walk. The question is whether the account expects it.

  • Expected loss is built into the par count at setup — rather than discovered in month three.
  • You get the actual numbers each cycle — rather than a running balance nobody can reconcile.
  • A sudden jump in loss is worth knowing about — a step change in shrinkage is information, not an invoice line.
  • On hire, fair wear is our cost — not a charge back to you.
How is gym towel laundry priced?

Priced on your peak and your member numbers, not off a rate card. The number follows turnover, not floor area.

  • We count a real week in Chatham before quoting — the invoice records what you were sold, not what you used.
  • The count includes January — which is the one spike everybody knows is coming and most quotes ignore.
  • No minimum order — a small Chatham studio pays the same per towel as a club ten times the size.
  • The count and the quote cost nothing — including while you are still under contract elsewhere.
Our rack empties at six — can you fix that?

We count at peak, because that is the only hour the count has to survive. A Chatham floor gets through more between five and seven than across the rest of the day combined.

  • We count on site at the time it matters — an hour on the Chatham floor at peak tells us more than a year of delivery notes.
  • A Monday evening and a Sunday morning are different businesses — which is why the count is taken twice rather than once.
  • January is planned in — a Chatham club in January is not the same club in August, and the account should say so.
  • If you run short twice, the count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, not bad luck.
Is towel hire available to Chatham clubs?

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

  • Hire — stock, replacement and shrinkage planning are ours; you never reorder.
  • Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
  • Most clubs split it — the logo matters on a robe, rarely on a sweat towel.
  • You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Rewashing Chatham linen is the real environmental cost

Most of the environmental cost of gym towelling is rewashing and replacing it. Getting the classification right the first time does more than any claim on a van.

  • Chatham is a stop on a round that was already running, not a van dispatched for one club.
  • Keeping the fibre clear is what stops stock being replaced before its time.
  • Hire stock is rotated through its full life rather than binned when it greys.
  • Over 80% of our central London fleet is fully electric.
