Hotel Linen In Cold Ash Collected To Schedule

Yes — Cold Ash sits on the RG18 round, 43.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Thatcham, Hermitage and Bucklebury — 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 — 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.
• Nothing needs to end first — we work to your notice, not against it.

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 — if the time stops suiting you we move it.
• Recovery is same-day, not next-round — 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, consolidated but itemised — one payment, full visibility.
• 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 — the total and the split, on the same document.

No minimum. The van is in RG18 regardless — you are not the reason for the journey.

• 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.
• Nothing to escape from — no notice period dressed up as a minimum term.

Agreed before the first collection, not on the morning.

• 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 — not the laundry, not the van, the door.
• The mileage is not billed back to you — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• It is recorded against the account, not a person — access details live on the round sheet, so a stand-in is not knocking on the front door.

At our own plant in Wembley, 43.2 miles from Cold Ash. 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. We would rather show you than write about it.
• The chain is short on purpose — 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, 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 — most properties end up somewhere between the two.
• Stock ageing is our cost, not yours — greying, fraying and losses are carried by us rather than appearing on your invoice each quarter, which is usually the larger number over a year.
