Commercial Linen In Kenley Collected On Round

Yes — Kenley sits on the CR8 round, 18.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Purley, Sanderstead and Whyteleafe — one van, one run, which is what keeps the cost of a small account sensible.
• The driver knows the roads around Kenley and Riddlesdown — the same crew runs it each week, so nobody is reading a map on your loading bay.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper and simpler than separate accounts.

• One account manager across every Croydon site.
• One invoice, broken down per property so you can still see where it goes.
• 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.

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, and no rounding up to a notional minimum.
• Seasonal properties welcome — collections pause and restart without closing the account.
• Nothing to escape from — the arrangement holds because it works, not because it is signed.

Settled at the audit, written onto the CR8 round sheet, and not revisited on the day.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — recorded against the account so a relief driver has it too.
• Timed around Kenley because that is where the delay actually happens.
• This is where new suppliers come unstuck — not the laundry, not the van, the door.
• The mileage is not billed back to you — a shared run is what makes 18.2 miles affordable for a property of any size.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — the arrangement survives a change of driver, which is when most suppliers slip.

At our own plant in Wembley, 18.2 miles from Kenley. Nothing is subcontracted to a third site.

• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• One process, one audit — a certificate covering a site you do not control is a certificate covering nothing.
• You can visit. It is an hour out of your day and it answers most of the questions on this page.
• The chain is short on purpose — we own the plant, so a complaint has one address rather than two.

Both are available, and moving between them does not mean a new account.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, so nothing is tied up in sheets.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, useful where the stock is branded or a particular weave.
• Mixed is common — most properties end up somewhere between the two.
• 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. The nearest hotels we already collect from are the 2 in Purley, 1.2 miles away, on the same run.

• 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 — if you are tied in, we plan the start date around it. The audit and the plan cost you nothing either way.

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.
• Recovery is same-day, not next-round — 18.2 miles is close enough that the fix is hours away.
