What goes wrong in Custom House
Custom House tables should never wait on a van
E16 has its own constraints — access, timing, and the roads around Canning Town. A supplier who does not know the area finds that out during your service, not theirs.
-
The van that arrives mid-service
One delay around Canning Town and the pass is stacked with kitchen cloths nobody can replace.
-
Cloths that go out marked
A creased cloth is a two-second judgement made before anyone has read the menu.
-
The skip that fills by Thursday
A stock level built around a Tuesday does not survive a full Saturday in Custom House.

What you use in a week
An hour looking at what Custom House actually gets through: a midweek service, a full Saturday, and the difference between them.

-
Par levels that flex
Stock is weighted to the weekend, because that is the service where running short actually costs you something.
Reviewed after a full month

A fixed slot
7 days, at a time agreed with you — a standing slot rather than a window assigned each morning.

Ready to lay up
Table linen comes back pressed and counted, chef whites on hangers, kitchen cloths bagged by type. Nothing needs sorting on arrival.

Standards
One plant, 13.8 miles from your pass
Nothing leaves the chain. Custom House linen travels 13.8 miles to Wembley and back, through a plant we run ourselves.
It is also why a chef jacket and a tablecloth get different treatment here — a subcontractor washes to their schedule, not your soil.

Leaving your supplier should not cost Custom House a cover
Most Custom House operators stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like risking a service. It is the objection we hear most, so here is exactly how it runs.
- Week one
An hour on site, before anything changes
An hour in Custom House: what goes out on a Saturday, what is still in the wash, what is past saving. You keep every item you own — nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look neater.
- Week two
The old round and the new one overlap
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the E16 round starts delivering. For that week you are holding more than you need, which is the point — there is no service you lay up short for.
- Settled
One round, one contact
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Silvertown and Canning Town are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the plan cost you nothing either way.
The week you switch is the week nobody in Custom House notices.

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 -
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 -
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 -
We use dozens of salon towels and client gowns every day. Stubborn hair dye and product stains come out effortlessly and our capes still look new. They are an indispensable part of the daily flow here.
Chloe St. Laurent Salon Owner & Manager · Hair & beauty salon -
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 -
From velvet seat throws to staff aprons and heavy bar towels, our eclectic mix of textiles is handled without fuss. The turnaround times and the account management are what stand out.
Kieran Davies Venue & Hospitality Manager · Boutique cinema & lounge -
As a family-run Victorian B&B we need a partner who understands traditional hospitality. Our heritage cotton sheets are treated with real care, the drivers are friendly and the weekly delivery is consistent.
Arthur Pendelton Proprietor & Manager · Traditional bed & breakfast -
Back-to-back conferences and galas mean huge quantities of table skirts, stage linens and catering napkins at short notice. They have never missed a deadline on any of it.

The area
Why Custom House is collected the way it is
The gateway to London's international events, defined by the Royal Docks and elite logistical links. Unique to Custom House.
Kitchens here sit on the E16 round, close enough to the plant that a disrupted run is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's sheet.

Custom House questions, answered
Do you already collect from Custom House?
47 restaurants in Custom House sit inside the area we already collect from, 13.8 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 50 cafés and 8 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Silvertown, Canning Town and Plaistow — the round already passes, so you are joining a journey rather than paying for a new one.
- 7 days collections, in a window agreed when the account opens rather than assigned by a routing system on the morning.
- a 13.8-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.
How do you deal with grease, wine and wax in Custom House?
It depends entirely on the mark. Oil, wine and wax behave differently in a wash, and treating them the same is how cloths come back looking tired after a season.
- Items are sorted before washing, not after. Mixing table linen with kitchen cloths is the single fastest way to grey a white.
- Marked items are pulled at the check stage rather than sent back for you to find. Re-treatment first, replacement only if it fails.
- Wax is lifted before wash, because heat drives it into the weave and fixes it there for good.
Can Custom House chef jackets go with the tablecloths?
Same round, same invoice. Chef jackets, aprons, trousers, oven cloths and kitchen cloths are collected with the table linen — there is no second supplier and no second delivery day to remember.
- Whites come back on hangers, not folded into a bag for someone to iron again before service.
- Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — so the right cloth is where it should be before service starts.
- Sizes are held in stock, so a new starter on Monday is not waiting until the following week for a jacket that fits.
We have two kitchens. Does that complicate it?
One contact for all of them. Running several Newham sites through one account is the common case here, not a special arrangement.
- Each site keeps its own par level. The busy site gets the depth it needs without the quiet one paying for stock it never uses.
- Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown, so a head office sees one number and each kitchen still sees its own.
- Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.
When do you collect in Custom House — will it clash with service?
Before the doors, not during them. The E16 round is planned around service times, which is the difference between a supplier who works here and one who merely delivers here.
- Access around Canning Town is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day. Loading restrictions and one-way systems are the reason most suppliers drift late here.
- Deliveries land before the doors open, so setup starts with a full cupboard instead of a count of what survived last night.
- If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — the plant is 13.8 miles away, so the recovery is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's schedule.
Can par levels handle a full Saturday in Custom House?
The weekend sets the level. Stock that only just covers midweek runs out exactly when the room is full and nobody has time to notice.
- We count a real week in Custom House — because the figure that matters is what you actually get through, not what you ordered.
- Reviewed after a full month of live usage and adjusted, with no renegotiation and no change fee.
- Seasonal swing is expected — E16 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
We own our linen — will you launder it in Custom House?
Either, and mixed accounts are normal. Hire from us, or we launder stock you already own — the E16 round collects both the same way and on the same docket.
- Owned stock stays yours. What you bought, you keep — including the items we would not have chosen.
- Hire covers replacement — the cost of a cloth reaching the end of its life sits with us, not with you.
- Most Custom House accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
Is there a minimum order?
No, and no tie-in either. A 24-cover room in Custom House is a stop on an existing run, not a trip we have to justify.
- Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same run, and a 24-cover room is priced on what it actually uses.
- No tie-in and no volume threshold — a slow month does not move you onto a worse rate.
- 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.
Something specific to your kitchen?
Ask us directlyThe greenest wash is the one Custom House does not repeat
Most of the environmental cost of restaurant linen is rewashing and early replacement, not the wash itself — a cloth retired at the first oil mark has cost more than one washed twice. In Custom House there is a second saving: the kitchens here sit close enough together that one round covers them, instead of separate journeys out from Wembley.
- One E16 round serves Custom House, Silvertown and Canning Town — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 13.8-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
- Rinse water recovered and reused rather than discharged after a single cycle.
- Oil and wine marks are re-treated before an item is retired. Most recover.
