What goes wrong
Three things that cost Hersham kitchens a supplier
Kitchens in Hersham rarely leave a supplier over price. They leave after a run of weeks where the whites came back grey, the sizes were wrong, or the van arrived mid-prep.
-
Whites that are not actually white
Kitchen soil is grease, protein and scorch, and it does not come out on a general cycle. Grey jackets read as a hygiene problem to anyone who walks in, whether or not the kitchen behind them is spotless.
-
Sizes that turn into a scramble
Nobody should be hunting for their size at the start of service. Sized and named means the rail is ready and nobody is rummaging.
-
Deliveries that land mid-prep
A drop timed for the middle of prep is a drop nobody in Hersham can receive. The round has to be planned around service, not around the traffic.
How it works
Getting a Hersham kitchen onto the round
Most of the work happens before the first collection. Get the sizing and the timing right and the service stops being something the pass has to think about.
-
The count
Every section sized in person. Sizing is where most kitchen accounts go wrong, and it is not something a form gets right.
An hour, on site
-
The round
KT12 already has a collection day. We fit you to it and agree a time that sits outside prep and outside service.

The switch
You are never between suppliers, and no service is covered in borrowed jackets.
No gap in service
-
The account
A named account manager who knows your kitchen and the KT12 round — sizing changes and new starters go through one person, not a form.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one kitchen around Elmbridge? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
No third party touches Hersham chef whites
There are two buildings between your linen and ours, and we own both. Hersham collections run 14.3 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
What comes off a Hersham pass is not what comes off a dining room table. Kitchen work is classified on its own, at its own temperature, rather than following the table linen through the machine.

A Hersham switch nobody on the pass notices
Most Hersham kitchens stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like a risk on a Friday. It is not.
- Before you commit
We size the brigade properly
An hour on site: every section, every size, and the garments that wear out first. Sizing is where most kitchen accounts go wrong.
- The handover
Whites land before the old supplier stops
You are never between suppliers. The new rail is hung before the last collection of the old contract.
- After
New starters go on the account the same week
A new commis does not wait for the next order cycle. Sizing changes go through your account manager and land on the next round.
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.

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 -
Running a high-end spa means going through hundreds of bathrobes and spa towels daily. Our rotation stays fully stocked with exceptionally soft, hygienically pristine textiles. Guest comfort has noticeably improved since we switched.
Siobhan O'Connor Spa Operations Director · Luxury health club & spa -
Our members expect fresh sweat towels immediately after back-to-back spinning classes. They handle our daily volume seamlessly, and I would single out the punctuality and the clean, long-lasting scent of the eco-friendly detergents.
Marcus Thorne Studio Manager · Boutique fitness studio -
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.

About Hersham
Hersham, specifically
A family-friendly village between Esher and Walton with a strong community green. Unique to Hersham.
What makes Hersham its own job is the service pattern rather than the distance. The round is planned to miss prep, which is when a delivery is least welcome.

Hersham questions, answered
Can you reach Hersham 7 days?
Yes — Hersham sits on the KT12 round, 7 days, 14.3 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Esher, Walton on Thames and Whiteley Village — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
- The driver knows the service entrances around Hersham — 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, which is what 14.3 miles buys you.
- 21 kitchens around KT12 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.
Is chef whites hire available to Hersham kitchens?
Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Hersham kitchens run half and half.
- Hire — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
- Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
- Plenty of kitchens do both — hired cloths and aprons, own-branded jackets on wash-only.
- You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.
Do you run kitchen linen on its own classification?
Separately, and at its own temperature.
- 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 — and that separation is the whole reason ours stay white.
- Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — through the whole process.
- Every load is temperature logged — which matters on any site that has to show an inspector how its linen is handled.
Do you quote, or work off a tariff?
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 Hersham before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
- No minimum order — a two-section Hersham kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
- The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
- The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
Do you serve school and care home kitchens?
Yes, and they are not an afterthought on a restaurant round.
- 6 school kitchens around KT12 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
- 2 care home kitchens nearby — where consistency matters more than turnaround speed, and the account is set up for that.
- Colour-coded cloths and named whites — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
- Contract caterers running several sites — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.
How do you handle sizing and new starters?
We size the brigade before quoting, not after the first complaint.
- Every section is sized at setup — not estimated from a headcount.
- A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Hersham 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.
What time does the van reach Hersham?
Outside both, because prep is the window most suppliers hit.
- The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
- Timed around Hersham 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.
Can we leave if it is not working?
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 — 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.
Something specific to your Hersham kitchen?
Ask us directlyThe greenest wash is the one Hersham does not repeat
Most of the environmental cost of kitchen linen is rewashing and replacing it. Classifying kitchen soil properly the first time does more than any claim on a van.
- The KT12 round is a shared journey rather than a separate trip to Hersham.
- Whites washed on the right classification last longer before replacement.
- Garments are mended and rotated through their full life.
- Over four fifths of our central London vehicles are electric.
