Commercial Linen In Hambledon Collected To Schedule

Yes — Hambledon sits on the GU8 round, 7 days, 32.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Wormley, Witley and Milford — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

Because cafe soil is chemically different from kitchen soil. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• 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.

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 Hambledon with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. A one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.

• Small sites go on the same GU8 round — so you are not paying for a dedicated trip into Hambledon.
• 1 cafes around GU8 are already on it — so the round is built for counters, not bolted on to a hotel run.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Hambledon and a busy July are the same account.

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 — your own branded aprons come back to you, the same items, not pooled.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hired glass cloths and tea towels, own-branded aprons on wash-only.

Tell your account manager and collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, and we correct it.
• Most Hambledon cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — we set them ahead rather than react.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same GU8 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• If the kitchen is the bigger half — see restaurant laundry for how a kitchen-led account is priced.

That is the point of putting Hambledon on the GU8 round rather than a separate trip. 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 Hambledon.
• A mid-morning drop missed the shift it was for. We schedule against your opening time, not ours.
• If a drop is missed, collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
