Commercial Linen In Holmwood Collected To Schedule

Yes — Holmwood sits on the RH5 round, 7 days, 25.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Dorking, Abinger and Capel — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Holmwood accounts run half and half.

• Hire — the count is maintained for you, including the items that wear out first.
• Wash-only — item for item, never substituted.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hire what nobody sees, keep your own name on what the customer does.

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 — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
• Most Holmwood cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it on two predictable days, which is a counting problem rather than a volume one.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — we set them ahead rather than react.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same RH5 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — because the menu grew.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — all available on the same account, hire or wash-only.
• 1 restaurants around RH5 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.

Before you open, because that is how the RH5 round is ordered. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• 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.

It is the wash, not the cloth. A cycle built for table linen leaves them behind.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — not as the tail end of a kitchen load.
• 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 — a Holmwood cafe buying aprons three times a year is paying for a bad cycle, not for wear.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Holmwood in February and Holmwood in July are different businesses, 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 — so there is never a morning in Holmwood with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. Most of what we collect in RH5 is exactly that size.

• Small sites go on the same RH5 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• A dozen aprons and a bundle of tea towels is a real account — and it is priced per item, the same as a site ten times the size.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Holmwood and a busy July are the same account.
