Hotel Linen In Cowley Collected On Round

Yes — Cowley sits on the UB8 round, 8.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Hayes, Uxbridge and Yiewsley — one van, one run, which is what keeps the cost of a small account sensible.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

No minimum. The round is already passing, which is the whole reason we can say that.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — a six-room guest house gets what a 200-room hotel gets.
• No small-volume premium, and no rounding up to a notional minimum.
• Seasonal properties welcome — collections pause and restart without closing the account.
• You can stop — 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 — whichever actually works for your building, agreed once and then fixed.
• It is the usual failure point — a supplier who has not walked the building finds out on your floor, not theirs.
• The mileage is not billed back to you — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — you should not have to re-explain the building every August.

At our own plant in Wembley, 8.4 miles from Cowley. Nothing is subcontracted to a third site.

• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• One process, one audit — traceability only works when there is one chain to trace.
• You can visit. We would rather show you than write about it.
• Nothing is passed to a third party — we own the plant, so a complaint has one address rather than two.

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

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, which takes linen off your balance sheet entirely.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, useful where the stock is branded or a particular weave.
• Mixed is common — there is no rule that says it has to be one or the other.
• Hire covers replacement — you stop budgeting for replacement stock, because replacement is the point of hire.

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, 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.
• Nothing needs to end first — if you are tied in, we plan the start date around it. The audit and the plan cost you nothing either way.

A standing slot, 7 days — a time, not a window.

• 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 — tell the account manager and it changes that week.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — the plant is 8.4 miles away, so a disrupted run is a second trip rather than a note on next week's schedule.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper and simpler than separate accounts.

• One account manager across every Hillingdon site.
• One invoice, consolidated but itemised — one payment, full visibility.
• Par stock tracked per site — so a quiet property does not quietly fund a busy one.
• Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown — the total and the split, on the same document.
