The CT20 problem
Folkestone linen should be invisible
The difference between a supplier who works in Folkestone and one who merely delivers to it shows up on the third week, not the first.
-
The van that never comes
One delay near Folkestone Central and housekeeping is stripping rooms with nowhere to put the linen.
-
Grey linen
Nobody writes a review about good sheets. They write one about the other kind.
-
Paying twice for the same sheet
Linen migrates to the busiest site and gets replaced at the quietest.
Four steps from first call to first Folkestone collection
Folkestone sits on an established CT20 round, so onboarding here is a scheduling change rather than a new route.
-
We come and count
We walk your floors, count par stock and look at where your losses actually happen.

How we get to you
Written onto the round sheet so a relief driver has it too.

Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
One journey, both ways
Running more than one property in Folkestone and Hythe? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
One building handles every Folkestone collection
There is one building between your linen room and ours: a plant in Wembley, 71.2 miles from Folkestone, that we own and run.
It also means collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because there is no second journey in the middle.

Mixed accounts are normal in Folkestone and Hythe — rooms on hire, kitchen on wash-only, one collection.
Leaving your supplier should not cost Folkestone a night
Most Folkestone operators stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like risking a week of bare beds. It is the objection we hear most, so here is exactly how it runs.
- Week one
Your stock gets counted, not guessed at
An hour on site in Folkestone: what is on the shelves, what is in circulation, what is past saving. You keep every item you own — nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look neater.
- Week two
The old round and the new one overlap
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the CT20 round starts delivering. For that week you are carrying more linen than you need, which is the point — there is no day when a floor is short.
- Settled
One round, one contact
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Folkestone and Hythe and Hawkinge are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
No exit fee, no buy-back, no minimum term to escape from. If your notice runs to March, we start in March.
Through the changeover, Folkestone rooms stay made up. Guests notice nothing.

We use dozens of salon towels and client gowns every day. Stubborn hair dye and product stains come out effortlessly and our capes still look new. They are an indispensable part of the daily flow here.
Chloe St. Laurent Salon Owner & Manager · Hair & beauty salon -
We rely on clean bolster covers, fleece blankets and eye pillows. Delicate fabrics are treated with care while still getting a deep, hypoallergenic sanitisation, and everything comes back beautifully presented.
Hannah Sterling Studio Coordinator · Yoga & pilates studio -
From velvet seat throws to staff aprons and heavy bar towels, our eclectic mix of textiles is handled without fuss. The turnaround times and the account management are what stand out.
Kieran Davies Venue & Hospitality Manager · Boutique cinema & lounge -
Back-to-back conferences and galas mean huge quantities of table skirts, stage linens and catering napkins at short notice. They have never missed a deadline on any of it.
Danielle Moreau Events Logistics Manager · Corporate event venue -
Grooming generates heavy, fur-filled towels and specialist bedding that a standard machine cannot handle. Everything is collected and returned allergen-free, fluffy and sterilised. Top marks for taking on the difficult jobs.
Natasha Petrov Head Groomer & Manager · Pet grooming & daycare -
Whether we are catering a wedding or a corporate launch, linen presentation has to be immaculate. We get crisp, vacuum-sealed table linens and pristine chef jackets every time — a genuine operational ally.
Julian Bennett Executive Director of Operations · Catering & event production -
Our membership expects discretion and immaculate standards. Dining room linens and guest suites are laundered to a bespoke standard, and the discretion around our account has been absolute.
Alistair Finch Club Secretary & General Manager · Private members' club -
LP Laundry has been an absolute game-changer for our 45-room boutique hotel. Turnaround on our bed linens and heavy plush towels is inside 24 hours without a single delay. We could not be happier with the crisp, immaculate finish.

About Folkestone
Folkestone — what the round has to work around
A vibrant coastal town defined by its creative quarter, harbor arm, and high-speed links to London. Unique to Folkestone.
Properties here sit on the CT20 round, which is why a missed morning window is recovered on the next run rather than the next week.

Frequently asked in Folkestone
Do you already serve Folkestone properties?
Yes — Folkestone sits on the CT20 round, 71.2 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Folkestone and Hythe, Hawkinge and Hythe — one van, one run, which is what keeps the cost of a small account sensible.
- The driver knows the roads around Folkestone Central — the same crew runs it each week, so nobody is reading a map on your loading bay.
- Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.
Is Folkestone linen subcontracted to another site?
At our own plant in Wembley, 71.2 miles from Folkestone. No third party, no white-labelling, no surprises about where your linen spent the night.
- Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
- 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 — a supplier who cannot tell you which building your linen is in cannot promise you much about how it was washed.
What is the difference between hire and wash-only for CT20?
Whichever suits the property — and it can change as the property does.
- 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 — hire the towelling, wash-only the bedding.
- Wear and loss sit with us — the par level does not quietly drop over a season while nobody is counting.
What does switching involve for a Folkestone hotel?
A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day.
- No tender and no tie-in — a contract only protects a supplier who expects the service to slip.
- 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.
- You do not have to be out of contract — the count happens whenever suits; the round starts when you are free.
Is the Folkestone collection time fixed or a window?
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, so linen leaves as rooms are stripped.
- Changeable — if the time stops suiting you we move it.
- Recovery is same-day, not next-round — 71.2 miles is close enough that the fix is hours away.
We run several properties near Folkestone — one account?
Yes — most of our multi-site work is in Folkestone and Hythe, and it is where the savings actually are.
- One account manager across every Folkestone and Hythe site.
- One invoice, with per-site lines, so finance and operations can both use it.
- Par stock tracked per site — without it, stock migrates to whichever site shouts loudest.
- Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown — so nobody reconciles it by hand at the end of the month.
Are small Folkestone venues too small for you?
No minimum. The round is already passing, which is the whole reason we can say that.
- 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 — collections pause and restart without closing the account.
- 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.
What about parking and loading restrictions in CT20?
Worked out with your team in advance — we would rather ask twice than guess once.
- Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — whichever actually works for your building, agreed once and then fixed.
- Timed around Folkestone Central and the traffic that comes with it.
- Nine times in ten, a missed first collection is an access problem — and it is entirely avoidable with one site visit.
- No delivery surcharge for the distance — a shared run is what makes 71.2 miles affordable for a property of any size.
- Relief drivers get the same notes — access details live on the round sheet, so a stand-in is not knocking on the front door.
Something specific to your property?
Ask us directlyThe greenest wash is the one Folkestone does not repeat
Most of the environmental cost of hotel linen is rewashing and replacement, not the wash itself. In Folkestone there is a second saving: the properties here sit close enough together that one round covers them, instead of separate journeys out from Wembley.
- One CT20 round serves Folkestone, Folkestone and Hythe and Hawkinge — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 71.2-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
- Water from the final rinse is recovered and feeds the next wash rather than the drain.
- Stained items are re-treated before they are retired — most recover.
