Hospitality Linen In Lambourn Collected To Schedule

Yes — Lambourn sits on the RG17 round, 52.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Eastbury, East Garston and Great Shefford — one van, one run, which is what keeps the cost of a small account sensible.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

A standing slot, 7 days — fixed, not 'sometime that morning'.

• Same driver each week — familiar faces make short conversations, and short conversations keep the round on time.
• Planned around check-out, not against it — the van should not be waiting on your team.
• Changeable — seasons shift, occupancy shifts, the slot can shift with them.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — the plant is 52.9 miles away, so a disrupted run is a second trip rather than a note on next week's schedule.

Yes. Separate accounts for sites on the same round is a billing habit, not a requirement.

• 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.
• One invoice, itemised by property — the total and the split, on the same document.

No minimum. The round is already passing, which is the whole reason we can say that.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — a six-room guest house gets what a 200-room hotel gets.
• No small-volume premium, which is the part most suppliers will not put in writing.
• Seasonal properties welcome — we would rather hold the slot than lose the relationship.
• Nothing to escape from — the arrangement holds because it works, not because it is signed.

Agreed before the first collection, not on the morning.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — whichever actually works for your building, agreed once and then fixed.
• Nine times in ten, a missed first collection is an access problem — not the laundry, not the van, the door.
• 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 Lambourn account is still worth having.
• 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, 52.9 miles from Lambourn. Nothing is subcontracted to a third site.

• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
• One process, one audit — a certificate covering a site you do not control is a certificate covering nothing.
• You can visit. We would rather show you than write about it.
• The chain is short on purpose — subcontracting is where consistency goes, because the second plant washes to its own schedule rather than to yours.

Either, and you can change later without changing supplier.

• 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 — hire the towelling, wash-only the bedding.
• Hire covers replacement — you stop budgeting for replacement stock, because replacement is the point of hire.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day. The nearest hotels we already collect from are the 2 in Hungerford, 6.4 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, worked out from your occupancy rather than a rule of thumb.
• The audit is free and carries no obligation.
• 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.
