Hotel Linen In Gillingham Collected To Schedule

Yes — Gillingham sits on the ME7 round, 38.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Chatham, Medway and Rochester — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the roads around Fort Apache and Gillingham — 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.

No minimum. The van is in ME7 regardless — you are not the reason for the journey.

• 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.
• Nothing to escape from — the arrangement holds because it works, not because it is signed.

Settled at the audit, written onto the ME7 round sheet, and not revisited on the day.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — chosen with housekeeping rather than assumed from the front elevation.
• Timed around Fort Apache so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• It is the usual failure point — a supplier who has not walked the building finds out on your floor, not theirs.
• Distance does not appear on the invoice — you are joining an existing journey rather than paying for a new one, which is why a small Gillingham 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, 38.0 miles from Gillingham. 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. Clients who come tend to sign.
• Nothing is passed to a third party — a supplier who cannot tell you which building your linen is in cannot promise you much about how it was washed.

Whichever suits the property — and it can change as the property does.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, which takes linen off your balance sheet entirely.
• 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.
• 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.

• No tender and no tie-in — thirty days notice, no exit fee.
• Par levels set per room type, worked out from your occupancy rather than a rule of thumb.
• 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.

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.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — 38.0 miles is close enough that the fix is hours away.

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

• One account manager across every Medway site.
• One invoice, broken down per property so you can still see where it goes.
• Par stock tracked per site — without it, stock migrates to whichever site shouts loudest.
• Finance sees one number, each site sees its own — which is what stops one busy property quietly subsidising a quiet one.
