Gym & Spa Towels In Longcross On The Leisure Round

Yes — Longcross sits on the KT16 round, 7 days, 17.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Virginia Water, Lyne and Sunningdale — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the streets around Longcross — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your service entrance.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 17.9 miles buys you.
• Multi-site operators run on staggered days, so no club is left short while another is being collected from.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee. Nothing in the agreement is designed to make leaving awkward.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
• 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 — 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.

It is oil left in the fibre, not the towel being old. A towel can pass inspection dry and fail it in use, because oil only announces itself once the towel warms up.

• Gym towelling runs on its own classification — Longcross towels are classified for the soil they actually carry.
• Oil needs a different temperature from sweat — and softener makes it worse by coating the fibre, which is why we do not use it on gym stock.
• Towels that stop absorbing are usually over-softened, not worn out — which means you are replacing stock that had life left in it.
• Every load is temperature logged — and the log sits against your account, not a general plant figure.

Shrinkage is normal and predictable. We plan for it rather than dispute it.

• Expected loss is built into the par count at setup — so the rack does not empty because the maths assumed nothing walked.
• You get the actual numbers each cycle — rather than a running balance nobody can reconcile.
• A sudden jump in loss is worth knowing about — and we would rather flag it than absorb it quietly.
• On hire, fair wear is our cost — you pay for the service, not for towels reaching the end of their life.

It is quoted, not tariffed. The number follows turnover, not floor area.

• We count a real week in Longcross before quoting — including the evening peak, which is where every estimate falls over.
• The count includes January — which is the one spike everybody knows is coming and most quotes ignore.
• No minimum order — a small Longcross studio pays the same per towel as a club ten times the size.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — including while you are still under contract elsewhere.

We count at peak, because that is the only hour the count has to survive. A Longcross floor gets through more between five and seven than across the rest of the day combined.

• We count on site at the time it matters — an hour on the Longcross floor at peak tells us more than a year of delivery notes.
• A Monday evening and a Sunday morning are different businesses — which is why the count is taken twice rather than once.
• January is planned in — the one spike everyone knows is coming is the one worth building into the count.
• If you run short twice, the count is wrong — a second shortage is a counting error, not bad luck.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Longcross clubs run half and half.

• Hire — stock, replacement and shrinkage planning are ours; you never reorder.
• Wash-only — your own branded stock comes back to you, the same items, not pooled.
• Most clubs split it — the logo matters on a robe, rarely on a sweat towel.
• You can move a line between the two later — clubs often start on hire and move the spa side across once branding is settled.

Yes, and they are genuinely different jobs on the same account. The gym side is judged on whether the rack is full; the spa side on how the robe feels.

• Robes are laundered to keep their handle — softness is the point on a robe, and it is achieved by the wash rather than by softener.
• Bath mats run on a heavier classification — because wet-area linen takes a different kind of soil.
• One collection, one invoice — even where the two sides of the building want different specs.
• Hotel spas are a normal account — and the hotel laundry page covers how the rooms side is priced.
