Hotel Linen In Dowgate Collected On Round

Yes — Dowgate sits on the EC4R round, 9.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Candlewick, City of London and Walbrook — the same vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a property here without moving anyone else's slot.
• The driver knows the roads around Mansion House, Bank and Barbican — which sounds trivial until a supplier who does not misses a morning.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

A standing slot, 7 days — the same time each week, which is the point.

• Same driver each week — so housekeeping hands over to someone who knows the property.
• Planned around check-out, which keeps dirty linen out of your corridors.
• Changeable — if the time stops suiting you we move it.
• Recovery is same-day, not next-round — the plant is 9.1 miles away, so a disrupted run is a second trip rather than a note on next week's schedule.

Yes — most of our multi-site work is in City of London, and it is where the savings actually are.

• One account manager across every City of London 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.
• Finance sees one number, each site sees its own — the total and the split, on the same document.

No minimum. The van is in EC4R regardless — you are not the reason for the journey.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — a six-room guest house gets what a 200-room hotel gets.
• No small-volume premium, because you are not the reason the van is on the road.
• Seasonal properties welcome — collections pause and restart without closing the account.
• 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 — whichever actually works for your building, agreed once and then fixed.
• Timed around Mansion House so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• 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.
• The mileage is not billed back to you — a shared run is what makes 9.1 miles affordable for a property of any size.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — you should not have to re-explain the building every August.

At our own plant in Wembley, 9.1 miles from Dowgate. 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 — ISO 9001 and per-load temperature logs mean something because everything runs through the same building.
• You can visit. We would rather show you than write about it.
• Nothing is passed to a third party — 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, with damaged items flagged rather than quietly retired.
• 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.

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.
• Your notice period is our problem, not yours — the count happens whenever suits; the round starts when you are free.
