Hospitality Linen In Lee Collected On Round

Yes — Lee sits on the SE12 round, 14.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Hither Green, Kidbrooke and Blackheath — one van, one run, which is what keeps the cost of a small account sensible.
• The driver knows the roads around Kidbrooke, Blackheath and Hither Green — which sounds trivial until a supplier who does not misses a morning.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day. The nearest hotels we already collect from are the 1 in Hither Green, 0.6 miles away, on the same run.

• No tender and no tie-in — you stay because it works, or you leave in a month.
• Par levels set per room type, so housekeeping never opens an empty cupboard.
• The audit is free — most operators find out what they are losing, which is worth the hour on its own.
• 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 — the same time each week, which is the point.

• Same driver each week — so housekeeping hands over to someone who knows the property.
• Planned around check-out, which keeps dirty linen out of your corridors.
• Changeable — seasons shift, occupancy shifts, the slot can shift with them.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — the plant is 14.8 miles away, so a disrupted run is a second trip rather than a note on next week's schedule.

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

• One account manager across every Lewisham 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 — so nobody reconciles it by hand at the end of the month.

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 — collections pause and restart without closing the account.
• You can stop — if it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock. A contract you cannot leave is a contract we would rather not have.

Settled at the audit, written onto the SE12 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 Kidbrooke and the traffic that comes with it.
• Nine times in ten, a missed first collection is an access problem — not the laundry, not the van, the door.
• No delivery surcharge for the distance — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• Relief drivers get the same notes — access details live on the round sheet, so a stand-in is not knocking on the front door.

At our own plant in Wembley, 14.8 miles from Lee. No third party, no white-labelling, no surprises about where your linen spent the night.

• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• One process, one audit — traceability only works when there is one chain to trace.
• You can visit. Clients who come tend to sign.
• The chain is short on purpose — a supplier who cannot tell you which building your linen is in cannot promise you much about how it was washed.

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, with damaged items flagged rather than quietly retired.
• Mixed is common — hire the towelling, wash-only the bedding.
• Wear and loss sit with us — 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.
