Hotel Linen In Great Baddow Collected To Schedule

Yes — Great Baddow sits on the CM2 round, 35.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Chelmsford, Writtle and Danbury — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

At our own plant in Wembley, 35.1 miles from Great Baddow. Nothing is subcontracted to a third site.

• 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. 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.

Both are available, and moving between them does not mean a new account.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, which takes linen off your balance sheet entirely.
• 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.
• Hire covers replacement — greying, fraying and losses are carried by us rather than appearing on your invoice each quarter, which is usually the larger number over a year.

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, and revisited once we have seen a full month of real usage.
• The audit is free and you keep the numbers whether or not you use us.
• Nothing needs to end first — if you are tied in, we plan the start date around it. The audit and the plan cost you nothing either way.

A standing slot, 7 days — a time, not a window.

• Same driver each week — so housekeeping hands over to someone who knows the property.
• 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 — the plant is 35.1 miles away, so a disrupted run is a second trip rather than a note on next week's schedule.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper and simpler than separate accounts.

• One account manager across every Chelmsford site.
• One invoice, consolidated but itemised — one payment, full visibility.
• Par stock tracked per site — so a quiet property does not quietly fund a busy one.
• Finance sees one number, each site sees its own — the total and the split, on the same document.

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 — we would rather hold the slot than lose the relationship.
• Nothing to escape from — no notice period dressed up as a minimum term.

Settled at the audit, written onto the CM2 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.
• 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 — a shared run is what makes 35.1 miles affordable for a property of any size.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — the arrangement survives a change of driver, which is when most suppliers slip.
