Commercial Linen In Downe Collected On Round

Yes — Downe sits on the BR6 round, 21.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Biggin Hill, Keston and Farnborough — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• 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, not against it — the van should not be waiting on your team.
• Changeable — tell the account manager and it changes that week.
• If we miss it, we come back — the plant is 21.5 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 Bromley 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.
• Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown — so nobody reconciles it by hand at the end of the month.

No minimum. The van is in BR6 regardless — you are not the reason for the journey.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — the process does not know how many rooms you have.
• No small-volume premium, because you are not the reason the van is on the road.
• Seasonal properties welcome — no reconnection fee, no renegotiation each spring.
• Nothing to escape from — if it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock. A contract you cannot leave is a contract we would rather not have.

Agreed before the first collection, not on the morning.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — chosen with housekeeping rather than assumed from the front elevation.
• This is where new suppliers come unstuck — and it is entirely avoidable with one site visit.
• No delivery surcharge for the distance — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• It is recorded against the account, not a person — the arrangement survives a change of driver, which is when most suppliers slip.

At our own plant in Wembley, 21.5 miles from Downe. No third party, no white-labelling, no surprises about where your linen spent the night.

• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• One process, one audit — a certificate covering a site you do not control is a certificate covering nothing.
• You can visit. Clients who come tend to sign.
• One site means one standard — 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, 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. The nearest hotels we already collect from are the 1 in Biggin Hill, 1.7 miles away, on the same run.

• 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.
• You do not have to be out of contract — if you are tied in, we plan the start date around it. The audit and the plan cost you nothing either way.
