Hospitality Linen In Farnborough Collected On Round

Yes — Farnborough sits on the BR6 round, 20.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Orpington, Chelsfield and Petts Wood — one van, one run, which is what keeps the cost of a small account sensible.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day. The nearest hotels we already collect from are the 1 in Orpington, 1.3 miles away, on the same run.

• No tender and no tie-in — thirty days notice, no exit fee.
• Par levels set per room type, so housekeeping never opens an empty cupboard.
• 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 — the count happens whenever suits; the round starts when you are free.

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, 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 — A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

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.
• Finance sees one number, each site sees its own — 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 — collections pause and restart without closing the account.
• You can stop — the arrangement holds because it works, not because it is signed.

Settled at the audit, written onto the BR6 round sheet, and not revisited on the day.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — whichever actually works for your building, agreed once and then fixed.
• It is the usual failure point — 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 Farnborough account is still worth having.
• 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, 20.5 miles from Farnborough. 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. Clients who come tend to sign.
• 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, including the spares you would otherwise be storing.
• 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 — the par level does not quietly drop over a season while nobody is counting.
