The CT18 problem
Hawkinge rooms should never wait on a van
Every area has a failure mode. In CT18 it is usually the morning window, and usually Folkestone and Hythe.
-
The van that never comes
A supplier who has not driven Folkestone and Hythe at 7am plans a schedule that cannot survive it.
-
Quality that drifts
Finish drifts slowly, which is why it is usually a guest who notices before you do.
-
Stock drifting across sites
Operators running more than one CT18 property lose track of what is where, and pay for it twice.
Hawkinge onboarding, in four steps
There is no route to build — CT18 already runs. Joining it is a conversation about times and access.
-
The audit
We walk your floors, count par stock and look at where your losses actually happen.

The route in
Loading bay, service lift, back entrance — agreed before the first collection, not on the day.

You join the CT18 round
A fixed time each week, on a round that is already passing.

And back again
Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
One journey, both ways
Running more than one property in Folkestone and Hythe? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
Hawkinge linen never leaves our own plant
Hawkinge linen is not subcontracted and not passed to a third site. It is processed 69.8 miles away in Wembley, under the same certifications as every other round we run.
That matters more than it sounds: one building means one process, one audit trail, and collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.

Switching in Hawkinge without a single empty shelf
Most Hawkinge operators stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like risking a week of bare beds. It is the objection we hear most, so here is exactly how it runs.
- Week one
An hour on your floors, before anything changes
An hour on site in Hawkinge: what is on the shelves, what is in circulation, what is past saving. You keep every item you own — nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look neater.
- The overlap
You carry too much linen for a week, on purpose
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the CT18 round starts delivering. For that week you are carrying more linen than you need, which is the point — there is no day when a floor is short.
- Settled
It becomes a delivery you stop noticing
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Folkestone and Folkestone and Hythe are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
No exit fee, no buy-back, no minimum term to escape from. If your notice runs to March, we start in March.
The week you switch is the week nobody in Hawkinge can tell.

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 -
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.
Danielle Moreau Events Logistics Manager · Corporate event venue -
Grooming generates heavy, fur-filled towels and specialist bedding that a standard machine cannot handle. Everything is collected and returned allergen-free, fluffy and sterilised. Top marks for taking on the difficult jobs.
Natasha Petrov Head Groomer & Manager · Pet grooming & daycare -
Whether we are catering a wedding or a corporate launch, linen presentation has to be immaculate. We get crisp, vacuum-sealed table linens and pristine chef jackets every time — a genuine operational ally.
Julian Bennett Executive Director of Operations · Catering & event production -
Our membership expects discretion and immaculate standards. Dining room linens and guest suites are laundered to a bespoke standard, and the discretion around our account has been absolute.
Alistair Finch Club Secretary & General Manager · Private members' club -
LP Laundry has been an absolute game-changer for our 45-room boutique hotel. Turnaround on our bed linens and heavy plush towels is inside 24 hours without a single delay. We could not be happier with the crisp, immaculate finish.
Charlotte Vance Front of House & Accommodation Manager · 45-room boutique hotel -
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.

About Hawkinge
Hawkinge, specifically
A rapidly growing hilltop town with significant aviation history and expansive Channel views. Unique to Hawkinge.
Properties here sit on the CT18 round, which is why a missed morning window is recovered on the next run rather than the next week.

Hawkinge — what operators ask first
Is Hawkinge on one of your hotel rounds?
Yes — Hawkinge sits on the CT18 round, 69.8 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Folkestone, Folkestone and Hythe and Hythe — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
- Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.
How quickly can a Hawkinge property be onboarded?
A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day.
- No tender and no tie-in — a contract only protects a supplier who expects the service to slip.
- 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.
- Your notice period is our problem, not yours — we work to your notice, not against it.
Can we choose our collection time in Hawkinge?
A standing slot, 7 days — fixed, not 'sometime that morning'.
- Same driver each week — familiar faces make short conversations, and short conversations keep the round on time.
- Planned around check-out, so linen leaves as rooms are stripped.
- Changeable — if the time stops suiting you we move it.
- A missed slot is not a lost week — 69.8 miles is close enough that the fix is hours away.
How does billing work across Folkestone and Hythe properties?
Yes — most of our multi-site work is in Folkestone and Hythe, and it is where the savings actually are.
- One account manager across every Folkestone and Hythe site.
- One invoice, consolidated but itemised — one payment, full visibility.
- Par stock tracked per site — the usual multi-property problem is linen drifting between buildings and being paid for twice.
- Finance sees one number, each site sees its own — the total and the split, on the same document.
Is a guest house in Hawkinge worth your while?
No minimum. The van is in CT18 regardless — you are not the reason for the journey.
- Same turnaround regardless of size — small accounts are not queued behind large ones.
- No small-volume premium, because you are not the reason the van is on the road.
- Seasonal properties welcome — collections pause and restart without closing the account.
- No exit fee either — if it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock. A contract you cannot leave is a contract we would rather not have.
Do you know the loading constraints around Hawkinge?
Worked out with your team in advance — we would rather ask twice than guess once.
- Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — recorded against the account so a relief driver has it too.
- It is the usual failure point — and it is entirely avoidable with one site visit.
- Distance does not appear on the invoice — a shared run is what makes 69.8 miles affordable for a property of any size.
- It is recorded against the account, not a person — you should not have to re-explain the building every August.
Where is Hawkinge linen actually processed?
At our own plant in Wembley, 69.8 miles from Hawkinge. One building, ours, every load.
- Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
- One process, one audit — traceability only works when there is one chain to trace.
- You can visit. We would rather show you than write about it.
- Nothing is passed to a third party — subcontracting is where consistency goes, because the second plant washes to its own schedule rather than to yours.
Do you supply stock, or only launder ours, in Hawkinge?
Whichever suits the property — and it can change as the property does.
- On hire we hold and replace the stock, including the spares you would otherwise be storing.
- 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.
- Wear and loss sit with us — the par level does not quietly drop over a season while nobody is counting.
Something specific to your property?
Ask us directlyThe greenest wash is the one Hawkinge does not repeat
Most of the environmental cost of hotel linen is rewashing and replacement, not the wash itself. In Hawkinge there is a second saving: the properties here sit close enough together that one round covers them, instead of separate journeys out from Wembley.
- One CT18 round serves Hawkinge, Folkestone and Folkestone and Hythe — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 69.8-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
- Water from the final rinse is recovered and feeds the next wash rather than the drain.
- Stained items are re-treated before they are retired — most recover.
