Hotel Linen In Elephant and Castle Collected On Round

Yes — Elephant and Castle sits on the SE1 round, 9.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Walworth, Borough and Kennington — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the roads around Kennington, London Waterloo and Waterloo — 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.

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.
• Timed around Kennington 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.
• No delivery surcharge for the distance — you are joining an existing journey rather than paying for a new one, which is why a small Elephant and Castle account is still worth having.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — the arrangement survives a change of driver, which is when most suppliers slip.

At our own plant in Wembley, 9.2 miles from Elephant and Castle. One building, ours, every load.

• 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.

Both are available, and moving between them does not mean a new account.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, so nothing is tied up in sheets.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, processed to the same spec.
• Mixed is common — there is no rule that says it has to be one or the other.
• Hire covers replacement — the par level does not quietly drop over a season while nobody is counting.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day.

• No tender and no tie-in — thirty days notice, no exit fee.
• Par levels set per room type, and revisited once we have seen a full month of real usage.
• The audit is free and carries no obligation.
• Nothing needs to end first — we work to your notice, not against it.

A standing slot, 7 days — fixed, not 'sometime that morning'.

• 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 — if the time stops suiting you we move it.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — the plant is 9.2 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 Southwark, and it is where the savings actually are.

• One account manager across every Southwark 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.
• One invoice, itemised by property — so nobody reconciles it by hand at the end of the month.

No minimum. Minimums exist to cover a dedicated trip. This is not one.

• 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 — we would rather hold the slot than lose the relationship.
• You can stop — the arrangement holds because it works, not because it is signed.
