Commercial Linen In Englefield Collected To Schedule

Yes — Englefield sits on the RG7 round, 36.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Bradfield, Theale and Tidmarsh — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

Settled at the audit, written onto the RG7 round sheet, and not revisited on the day.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — recorded against the account so a relief driver has it too.
• Nine times in ten, a missed first collection is an access problem — not the laundry, not the van, the door.
• The mileage is not billed back to you — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• Relief drivers get the same notes — access details live on the round sheet, so a stand-in is not knocking on the front door.

At our own plant in Wembley, 36.2 miles from Englefield. One building, ours, every load.

• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
• One process, one audit — a certificate covering a site you do not control is a certificate covering nothing.
• You can visit. It is an hour out of your day and it answers most of the questions on this page.
• 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.

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, useful where the stock is branded or a particular weave.
• Mixed is common — most properties end up somewhere between the two.
• 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 Theale, 1.4 miles away, on the same run.

• No tender and no tie-in — you stay because it works, or you leave in a month.
• 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 — the count happens whenever suits; the round starts when you are free.

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

• Same driver each week — familiar faces make short conversations, and short conversations keep the round on time.
• Planned around check-out, not against it — the van should not be waiting on your team.
• Changeable — if the time stops suiting you we move it.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — the plant is 36.2 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 West Berkshire, and it is where the savings actually are.

• One account manager across every West Berkshire 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 — the total and the split, on the same document.

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

• Same turnaround regardless of size — small accounts are not queued behind large ones.
• No small-volume premium, and no rounding up to a notional minimum.
• Seasonal properties welcome — collections pause and restart without closing the account.
• No exit fee either — 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.
