Kitchen Linen In Hampton Wick On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Hampton Wick sits on the KT1 round, 7 days, 10.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Kingston, Chessington and Kingston upon Thames — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Hampton Wick and Kingston — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
• 149 kitchens around KT1 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Hampton Wick kitchens run half and half.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Hampton Wick, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — the embroidery matters on the jacket, rarely on the oven cloth.
• You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — grease lifts at a different temperature from protein, and scorch responds to neither.
• Whites never run through the cycle the table linen was on — and that separation is the whole reason ours stay white.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — from collection to the rail, so the coding still means something when it comes back.
• Every load is temperature logged — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

It is quoted, not tariffed. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Hampton Wick before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — so a small kitchen is a normal account.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — and commit you to nothing.

Yes. Contract catering, schools and care homes are all on the rounds.

• 15 school kitchens around KT1 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 2 care home kitchens nearby — with the same named-garment handling.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Richmond upon Thames, not as separate customers.

We size the brigade before quoting, not after the first complaint.

• Every section is sized at setup — larder and pastry do not wear through jackets at the same rate, and the count reflects that.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Hampton Wick change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• Garments are named — so nobody is sorting a mixed box at the start of a shift.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — against what the brigade actually used, because any opening count is an estimate.

Yes — the KT1 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• Timed around Hampton Wick because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• A relief driver inherits the window with the route — so cover weeks do not become the weeks it goes wrong.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Hampton Wick in August and Hampton Wick in January are different kitchens, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.
