Hospitality Linen In Esher Collected On Round

Yes — Esher sits on the KT10 round, 13.7 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Claygate, Hersham and Hinchley Wood — one van, one run, which is what keeps the cost of a small account sensible.
• The driver knows the roads around Claygate — 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 — fixed, not 'sometime that morning'.

• Same driver each week — familiar faces make short conversations, and short conversations keep the round on time.
• Planned around check-out, so linen leaves as rooms are stripped.
• Changeable — tell the account manager and it changes that week.
• If we miss it, we come back — the plant is 13.7 miles away, so a disrupted run is a second trip rather than a note on next week's schedule.

Yes. Separate accounts for sites on the same round is a billing habit, not a requirement.

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

No minimum. The round is already passing, which is the whole reason we can say that.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — a six-room guest house gets what a 200-room hotel gets.
• No small-volume premium, which is the part most suppliers will not put in writing.
• Seasonal properties welcome — we would rather hold the slot than lose the relationship.
• You can stop — 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.

Worked out with your team in advance — we would rather ask twice than guess once.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — recorded against the account so a relief driver has it too.
• Timed around Claygate so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• This is where new suppliers come unstuck — a supplier who has not walked the building finds out on your floor, not theirs.
• No delivery surcharge for the distance — 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, 13.7 miles from Esher. 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 — traceability only works when there is one chain to trace.
• You can visit. It is an hour out of your day and it answers most of the questions on this page.
• One site means one standard — we own the plant, so a complaint has one address rather than two.

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, 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.
• Wear and loss sit with us — 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 Claygate, 0.9 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, 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 — the count happens whenever suits; the round starts when you are free.
