Hotel Linen In Chieveley Collected To Schedule

Yes — Chieveley sits on the RG20 round, 44.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Hermitage, Beedon and Winterbourne — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

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

• No tender and no tie-in — you stay because it works, or you leave in a month.
• Par levels set per room type, worked out from your occupancy rather than a rule of thumb.
• The audit is free — most operators find out what they are losing, which is worth the hour on its own.
• 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 — fixed, not 'sometime that morning'.

• Same driver each week — continuity matters more here than most suppliers admit.
• Planned around check-out, which keeps dirty linen out of your corridors.
• Changeable — if the time stops suiting you we move it.
• If we miss it, we come back — Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

Yes. Separate accounts for sites on the same round is a billing habit, not a requirement.

• One account manager across every West Berkshire site.
• One invoice, with per-site lines, so finance and operations can both use it.
• 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 — so nobody reconciles it by hand at the end of the month.

No minimum. Minimums exist to cover a dedicated trip. This is not one.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — small accounts are not queued behind large ones.
• No small-volume premium, because you are not the reason the van is on the road.
• Seasonal properties welcome — we would rather hold the slot than lose the relationship.
• 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 — recorded against the account so a relief driver has it too.
• 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 — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• Relief drivers get the same notes — the arrangement survives a change of driver, which is when most suppliers slip.

At our own plant in Wembley, 44.8 miles from Chieveley. 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.
• The chain is short on purpose — a supplier who cannot tell you which building your linen is in cannot promise you much about how it was washed.

Whichever suits the property — and it can change as the property does.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, so nothing is tied up in sheets.
• 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.
