What goes wrong
Three things that cost Godstone cafes a supplier
Almost nobody around RH9 changes linen supplier to save money. They change because the same thing went wrong three weeks running.
-
Deliveries that land after opening
A cafe opens earlier than almost anything else on the street. A drop timed for mid-morning is a drop that missed the shift it was for, and in Godstone that means serving the first hours on yesterday's cloths.
-
Cloths that come back grey
Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food service. Washed on a general cycle they build up, whites go dull within weeks, and the counter is where it shows.
-
Running short on the busy day
Par counts set on a quiet Tuesday leave you short on Saturday. Most Godstone cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it twice a week.
How it works
Four steps to a Godstone cafe on the round
Most of the work happens before the first collection. Get the count and the timing right and the service stops being something you manage.
-
The count
We count what Godstone actually uses across a full week — not an average week, because the average is exactly the number that leaves you short on a Saturday.
Half an hour, on site
-
The round
RH9 already has a collection day. We fit you to it and agree a time that lands before opening rather than during it.
RH9 · 7 days
-
The switch
The changeover in Godstone overlaps by design — new stock lands while the old contract is still running, so no shift is caught between the two.
No gap in service
-
The account
A named account manager who knows your site and the RH9 round — not a ticket number and a call centre.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one site around Tandridge? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
No third party touches Godstone cafe linen
There are two buildings between your linen and ours, and we own both. Godstone collections run 23.5 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
Cafe work is classified separately here. Milk protein sets if it is washed too hot and builds up if it is washed too cool, so Godstone cloths run on a cycle chosen for them rather than inherited from the previous load.

Changing supplier is not the risk Godstone operators think
Nobody in Godstone changes linen supplier on a whim. The question is only whether the switch can happen without a single bad opening — and it can.
- Before you commit
We count a real week, not an average one
We watch a full Godstone week rather than take a number off your last invoice — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
- The handover
Stock lands before the old supplier stops
You are never between suppliers. New stock is on the shelf before the last collection of the old contract.
- After
Par counts adjust once we have seen a month
Any first count is a guess. The difference is whether anyone comes back and corrects it — after four weeks, we do.
Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the quote cost nothing.
The week you switch is the week nobody notices.

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.
Charlotte Vance Front of House & Accommodation Manager · 45-room boutique hotel -
Running a high-end spa means going through hundreds of bathrobes and spa towels daily. Our rotation stays fully stocked with exceptionally soft, hygienically pristine textiles. Guest comfort has noticeably improved since we switched.
Siobhan O'Connor Spa Operations Director · Luxury health club & spa -
Our members expect fresh sweat towels immediately after back-to-back spinning classes. They handle our daily volume seamlessly, and I would single out the punctuality and the clean, long-lasting scent of the eco-friendly detergents.
Marcus Thorne Studio Manager · Boutique fitness studio -
In clinical and aesthetic practice, hygiene standards have to meet rigorous compliance. High-temperature sanitised gowns, drapes and bed covers arrive reliably every week. I trust their quality control completely.
Dr Elena Rostova Clinic Director · Private healthcare clinic -
For high-end short-stay apartments, guest reviews live and die by linen quality. We get hotel-grade crispness that consistently earns us five-star cleanliness ratings, and the communication lines are short when something needs resolving.
Beatrice Dupont Head of Housekeeping · Luxury serviced apartments -
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.

About Godstone
Why Godstone is collected the way it is
A historic village with a picturesque green and deep agricultural roots. Unique to Godstone.
Cafes here sit on the RH9 round, and the constraint is the clock rather than the distance — Godstone opens before most of what we serve, so the drop is timed against opening.

Cafe laundry in Godstone — what operators ask
Do you cover Godstone?
Yes — Godstone sits on the RH9 round, 7 days, 23.5 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Bletchingley, Caterham and Nutfield — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
- A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Godstone is only 23.5 miles out.
Do you lock RH9 accounts into a term?
No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.
- Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than locking you into a winter volume you do not use in August.
- Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.
- Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.
Is a one-site Godstone cafe worth your while?
No minimum, on any line. A single-site independent cafe in Godstone is an ordinary account for us.
- Small sites go on the same RH9 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Godstone.
- 3 cafes around RH9 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
- Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Godstone and a busy July are the same account.
Do you hire aprons, or only launder ours in Godstone?
Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.
- Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
- Wash-only — the same garments that left Godstone, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
- Plenty of cafes do both — hired glass cloths and tea towels, own-branded aprons on wash-only.
What happens if we run out mid-service?
Tell your account manager and a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
- If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
- Most Godstone cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
- Seasonal swings are planned in — Godstone in December is not Godstone in February, and the par count should know that.
Does a Godstone kitchen go on the same collection?
No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same RH9 collection and the same invoice.
- No second supplier and no second delivery day — the round does not change when the kitchen opens.
- Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — priced per item on the account you already have.
- If the kitchen is the bigger half — our restaurant laundry page covers how we price on covers.
How early can you drop in Godstone?
That is the point of putting Godstone on the RH9 round rather than a separate trip. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.
- The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
- A mid-morning drop missed the shift it was for. We schedule against your opening time, not ours.
- If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
What makes cafe cloths go grey?
It is the wash, not the cloth. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.
- Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — the programme is chosen for them, not inherited.
- Milk protein needs the right temperature, not just a hotter one — past a point, heat bonds the protein to the cloth.
- Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.
Something specific to your Godstone cafe?
Ask us directlyGetting it right first time in Godstone
Most of the environmental cost of cafe linen is rewashing and replacing it. Getting the classification right the first time does more than any claim on a van.
- The RH9 round is a shared journey rather than a separate trip to Godstone.
- Washing cafe soil on the right cycle is what stops stock being replaced every few months.
- A marked apron is repaired and put back into rotation, not written off.
