What goes wrong
A cafe runs on cloths nobody in Ham wants to think about
Almost nobody around TW10 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 Ham 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 Ham cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it twice a week.
How it works
Four steps, and Ham stops managing linen
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 Ham 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
TW10 already has a collection day. We fit you to it and agree a time that lands before opening rather than during it.
TW10 · 7 days
-
The switch
Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down, so there is never a morning with nothing clean on the shelf.
No gap in service
-
The account
The same person handles Ham every week, which is why a change to your par count does not need explaining twice.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one site around Richmond upon Thames? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
Your Ham cloths, washed by us and nobody else
There are two buildings between your linen and ours, and we own both. Ham collections run 8.8 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
What comes off a Ham counter is not what comes out of a kitchen. Coffee oil and milk protein need their own cycle, and they get one — aprons and cloths are not run through whatever the machine was doing before.

A Ham switch nobody behind the counter notices
The reason Ham operators put up with a supplier they have stopped rating is timing: there is no good week to risk it. That is a scheduling problem, not a reason to stay.
- Before you commit
We count a real week, not an average one
Saturday out, Monday back, and the gap in between. That gap is where every shortage on the account comes from.
- 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
First counts are an estimate. After four weeks we set them against what you actually used.
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.

Running a busy dining room alongside eight letting rooms needs a versatile laundry partner. Kitchen aprons, table runners and bed sheets all go in one collection, and the seven-day pickup schedule flexes around us.
Liam Gallagher Operations & Pub Manager · Gastro pub with rooms -
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.
Kieran Davies Venue & Hospitality Manager · Boutique cinema & lounge -
As a family-run Victorian B&B we need a partner who understands traditional hospitality. Our heritage cotton sheets are treated with real care, the drivers are friendly and the weekly delivery is consistent.
Arthur Pendelton Proprietor & Manager · Traditional bed & breakfast -
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.

About Ham
Why Ham is collected the way it is
A unique riverside village preserved in time, featuring historic houses and vast common land. Unique to Ham.
What makes Ham its own job is how early it starts. The round is planned so the aprons are on the shelf before the first coffee, not halfway through the morning.
Area detail compiled from the location file and the round that serves it.

Cafe laundry in Ham — what operators ask
Which round covers Ham?
Yes — Ham sits on the TW10 round, 7 days, 8.8 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Petersham, Hampton and Strawberry Hill — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
- A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
Why do our whites go grey?
It is the wash, not the cloth. On a general cycle they build up and whites dull within weeks.
- 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 — overheating fixes the stain instead of lifting it.
- Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.
Is there a minimum 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 — so there is never a morning in Ham with nothing clean.
Are we too small an account in Ham?
No minimum, on any line. A one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.
- Small sites go on the same TW10 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Ham.
- 15 cafes around TW10 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
- Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Ham and a busy July are the same account.
Is apron hire available to Ham cafes?
Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.
- Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
- Wash-only — the same garments that left Ham, tracked, never swapped into a pool.
- Plenty of cafes do both — hire what nobody sees, keep your own name on what the customer does.
We run short on Saturdays — what then?
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 — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
- Most Ham cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it on two predictable days, which is a counting problem rather than a volume one.
- Seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.
We have a small kitchen — same round?
No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same TW10 collection and the same invoice.
- No second supplier and no second delivery day — one account covers both sides of the counter.
- Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
- 15 restaurants around TW10 are on this round too — we are not learning kitchen work on your account.
When does the TW10 round reach Ham?
Yes — the TW10 round is sequenced by opening time. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.
- The time is agreed when the account opens — not left to whenever the van happens to reach Ham.
- 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.
Something specific to your Ham cafe?
Ask us directlyThe greenest wash is the one Ham does not repeat
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.
- Ham is a stop on a round that was already running, not a van dispatched for one site.
- Cafe cloths washed on their own classification last longer before replacement.
- Hire stock is mended and rotated through its full life rather than discarded early.
