Hotel Linen In Inkpen Collected To Schedule

Yes — Inkpen sits on the RG17 round, 52.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Kintbury, Hamstead Marshall and Hungerford — the same vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a property here without moving anyone else's slot.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

No minimum. Minimums exist to cover a dedicated trip. This is not one.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — a six-room guest house gets what a 200-room hotel gets.
• No small-volume premium, because you are not the reason the van is on the road.
• Seasonal properties welcome — no reconnection fee, no renegotiation each spring.
• Nothing to escape from — the arrangement holds because it works, not because it is signed.

Settled at the audit, written onto the RG17 round sheet, and not revisited on the day.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — whichever actually works for your building, agreed once and then fixed.
• This is where new suppliers come unstuck — a supplier who has not walked the building finds out on your floor, not theirs.
• Distance does not appear on the invoice — you are joining an existing journey rather than paying for a new one, which is why a small Inkpen account is still worth having.
• Relief drivers get the same notes — you should not have to re-explain the building every August.

At our own plant in Wembley, 52.0 miles from Inkpen. No third party, no white-labelling, no surprises about where your linen spent the night.

• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
• One process, one audit — ISO 9001 and per-load temperature logs mean something because everything runs through the same building.
• You can visit. Clients who come tend to sign.
• The chain is short on purpose — subcontracting is where consistency goes, because the second plant washes to its own schedule rather than to yours.

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, with damaged items flagged rather than quietly retired.
• Mixed is common — hire the towelling, wash-only the bedding.
• Hire covers replacement — greying, fraying and losses are carried by us rather than appearing on your invoice each quarter, which is usually the larger number over a year.

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, so housekeeping never opens an empty cupboard.
• The audit is free and you keep the numbers whether or not you use us.
• You do not have to be out of contract — the count happens whenever suits; the round starts when you are free.

A standing slot, 7 days — a time, not a window.

• Same driver each week — so housekeeping hands over to someone who knows the property.
• Planned around check-out, so linen leaves as rooms are stripped.
• Changeable — tell the account manager and it changes that week.
• If we miss it, we come back — 52.0 miles is close enough that the fix is hours away.

Yes — most of our multi-site work is in West Berkshire, and it is where the savings actually are.

• One account manager across every West Berkshire site.
• One invoice, consolidated but itemised — one payment, full visibility.
• Par stock tracked per site — without it, stock migrates to whichever site shouts loudest.
• Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown — the total and the split, on the same document.
