Kitchen Linen In Hanworth On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Hanworth sits on the TW13 round, 7 days, 10.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Feltham, Sunbury and Sunbury on Thames — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Hanworth Halt — which matters when the drop has to miss prep by half an hour.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 10.1 miles buys you.
• 25 kitchens around TW13 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — your own embroidered jackets come back to you, the same garments, named, not pooled.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hired cloths and aprons, own-branded jackets on wash-only.
• You can move a line between the two later — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.

Yes — kitchen soil is classified separately from front of house.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — one cycle cannot serve all three, which is why a general programme leaves all three behind.
• Whites never run through the cycle the table linen was on — that transfer is what dulls a brigade's whites inside a month.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
• Every load is temperature logged — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.

There is no honest price list for kitchen work. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Hanworth before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — a two-section Hanworth kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Hanworth kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

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

• 13 school kitchens around TW13 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• Term-time and seasonal swings are planned in — the par count moves with the calendar.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.

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

• Every section is sized at setup — including the sections that get through two a shift.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — a phone call to your account manager, not a reorder.
• Garments are named — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real Hanworth month rather than a first guess.

That is the point of putting Hanworth on the TW13 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• Timed around Hanworth Halt so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• 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 — the timing is a property of the account, not of one driver remembering it.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — there is no cost to finding out.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so no Hanworth section starts a shift without whites.
• If it is not working, say so — most problems are a wrong par count or a wrong delivery window, and both are fixable without changing supplier.
