Kitchen Linen In Kensal Green Back Before Prep

Yes — Kensal Green sits on the NW10 round, 7 days, 3.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with North Kensington, East Acton and White City — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Kensal Green, Willesden Junction and Queen's Park — which matters when the drop has to miss prep by half an hour.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, because of that distance.
• 172 kitchens around NW10 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Kensal Green, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hire what nobody reads, keep your own name on the whites.
• You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — grease lifts at a different temperature from protein, and scorch responds to neither.
• 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 — from collection to the rail, so the coding still means something when it comes back.
• Every load is temperature logged — which matters on any site that has to show an inspector how its linen is handled.

Priced on your brigade, not off a rate card. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in Kensal Green before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — a two-section Kensal Green kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Kensal Green kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

Yes, and they are not an afterthought on a restaurant round.

• 38 school kitchens around NW10 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 3 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 — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.

Sizing is where most kitchen accounts go wrong, so we do it on site.

• Every section is sized at setup — not estimated from a headcount.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — a phone call to your account manager, not a reorder.
• 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 — once we have seen a real Kensal Green month rather than a first guess.

Outside both, because prep is the window most suppliers hit.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• Timed around Kensal Green and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.
• A relief driver inherits the window with the route — holidays and sickness are the usual cause of a missed slot elsewhere; here the slot travels with the round sheet.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than locking you into a summer volume you do not use in February.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will size your brigade while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — you are never between suppliers.
• If it is not working, say so — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.
