Commercial Linen In Lamberhurst Collected To Schedule

Yes — Lamberhurst sits on the TN3 round, 7 days, 43.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Goudhurst, Paddock Wood and Tunbridge Wells — one van, one run, which is what keeps a single-site account sensible to price.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, which is what 43.2 miles buys you.

Before you open, because that is how the TN3 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 — overheating fixes the stain instead of lifting it.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — if stock is replaced every few months, the cycle is wrong.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than locking you into a winter volume you do not use in August.
• 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 Lamberhurst with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. A one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.

• Small sites go on the same TN3 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
• 1 cafes around TN3 are already on it — the vehicle is sized for this kind of work rather than adapted to it.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Lamberhurst and a busy July are the same account.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• 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 — we reset it against what you actually used, not what was estimated at setup.
• Most Lamberhurst 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 TN3 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — the round does not change when the kitchen opens.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — priced per item on the account you already have.
• If the kitchen is the bigger half — see restaurant laundry for how a kitchen-led account is priced.
