The RH1 problem

Merstham tables should never wait on a van

Most kitchens in Merstham do not change supplier because of price. They change because of a Friday that went wrong.

  • Late drops before a full book

    One delay around Merstham and the pass is stacked with kitchen cloths nobody can replace.

  • Grease that never lifts

    Kitchen soil is not room soil. Grease needs the temperature and the chemistry to match, or it comes back grey.

  • Running out on a Friday

    A stock level built around a Tuesday does not survive a full Saturday in Merstham.

How it works

Four steps from first call to first Merstham collection

Nothing here needs a decision from you after the first week.

Serving RH1 Since 2009
  1. Covers, not guesswork

    An hour looking at what Merstham actually gets through: a midweek service, a full Saturday, and the difference between them.

    Booked within days in RH1

  2. Stock set to your week

    Stock is weighted to the weekend, because that is the service where running short actually costs you something.

    No tie-in to change it

  3. A fixed slot

    Collections settle into a window that sits outside service — not a two-hour promise that lands mid-lunch.

    Timed around RH1 access

  4. Back before the doors

    Pressed, counted, hung and bagged — the delivery is finished when it lands rather than when someone has sorted it.

    Counted both ways

Running more than one site in Reigate and Banstead? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.

Behind the round

Merstham cloths are washed where we say they are

There is one building between your linen and ours: a plant in Wembley, 21.2 miles from Merstham, that we own and run.

It is also why a chef jacket and a tablecloth get different treatment here — a subcontractor washes to their schedule, not your soil.

Changing supplier in Merstham, without the Friday you are dreading

Most Merstham operators stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like risking a service. It is the objection we hear most, so here is exactly how it runs.

  1. Week one

    Your stock gets counted, not estimated

    An hour in Merstham: what goes out on a Saturday, what is still in the wash, what is past saving. You keep every item you own — nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look neater.

  2. Week two

    The old round and the new one overlap

    Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the RH1 round starts delivering. For that week you are holding more than you need, which is the point — there is no service you lay up short for.

  3. Week three

    It becomes a delivery you stop noticing

    Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Redhill and Chaldon are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.

Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the plan cost you nothing either way.

  • Running a high-end spa means going through hundreds of bathrobes and spa towels daily. Our rotation stays fully stocked with exceptionally soft, hygienically pristine textiles. Guest comfort has noticeably improved since we switched.
    Siobhan O'Connor Spa Operations Director · Luxury health club & spa
  • Our members expect fresh sweat towels immediately after back-to-back spinning classes. They handle our daily volume seamlessly, and I would single out the punctuality and the clean, long-lasting scent of the eco-friendly detergents.
    Marcus Thorne Studio Manager · Boutique fitness studio
  • In clinical and aesthetic practice, hygiene standards have to meet rigorous compliance. High-temperature sanitised gowns, drapes and bed covers arrive reliably every week. I trust their quality control completely.
    Dr Elena Rostova Clinic Director · Private healthcare clinic
  • For high-end short-stay apartments, guest reviews live and die by linen quality. We get hotel-grade crispness that consistently earns us five-star cleanliness ratings, and the communication lines are short when something needs resolving.
    Beatrice Dupont Head of Housekeeping · Luxury serviced apartments
  • We use dozens of salon towels and client gowns every day. Stubborn hair dye and product stains come out effortlessly and our capes still look new. They are an indispensable part of the daily flow here.
    Chloe St. Laurent Salon Owner & Manager · Hair & beauty salon
  • We rely on clean bolster covers, fleece blankets and eye pillows. Delicate fabrics are treated with care while still getting a deep, hypoallergenic sanitisation, and everything comes back beautifully presented.
    Hannah Sterling Studio Coordinator · Yoga & pilates studio
  • From velvet seat throws to staff aprons and heavy bar towels, our eclectic mix of textiles is handled without fuss. The turnaround times and the account management are what stand out.
    Kieran Davies Venue & Hospitality Manager · Boutique cinema & lounge
  • As a family-run Victorian B&B we need a partner who understands traditional hospitality. Our heritage cotton sheets are treated with real care, the drivers are friendly and the weekly delivery is consistent.

Local knowledge

Merstham, specifically

A historic village at the foot of the North Downs, perfectly positioned for commuter-elite logistics. Unique to Merstham.

The constraint in Merstham is timing rather than distance: the round is planned around service, which is what stops a delivery landing mid-lunch.

Merstham questions, answered

Is Merstham on one of your rounds?

2 restaurants in Merstham sit inside the area we already collect from, 21.2 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 4 cafés and 2 pubs and bars are on the same run.

  • Shared with Redhill, Chaldon and Hooley — one vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a kitchen here without adding a journey, and why the price does not carry a delivery surcharge.
  • 7 days collections, set once with you, then kept — not re-planned each morning by a scheduling system.
  • a 21.2-mile round trip means a problem is a second trip that day rather than a note on next week's sheet.
How do you deal with grease, wine and wax in Merstham?

Kitchen soil is treated as kitchen soil. Grease, red wine, oil and candle wax each need a different combination of temperature, dwell time and chemistry, and no single programme gets all four out.

  • Items are sorted before washing, not after. Sorting after the wash is too late; the grease has already moved.
  • Marked items are pulled at the check stage and re-treated before they go back out. Most recover; the ones that do not are replaced from stock rather than returned to you to notice.
  • Wax is lifted before wash, cold and mechanically — a hot cycle is what makes candle wax permanent.
Do you do chef whites as well as table linen in Merstham?

Same round, same invoice. Chef jackets, aprons, trousers, oven cloths and kitchen cloths are collected with the table linen — there is no second supplier and no second delivery day to remember.

  • Whites come back on hangers, not folded into a bag for someone to iron again before service.
  • Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — because sorting a mixed bag at 5pm is nobody's job.
  • Sizes are held in stock, and a change of size is a phone call rather than a reorder.
We run more than one site around Reigate and Banstead — one account?

One account manager, one invoice. Multi-site operators across Reigate and Banstead are the norm rather than the exception, and the round does not change — only the drop list does.

  • Each site keeps its own par level. The busy site gets the depth it needs without the quiet one paying for stock it never uses.
  • Consolidated billing that shows the total and the split, so nobody has to reconcile it by hand.
  • Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.
When do you collect in Merstham — will it clash with service?

Outside service, both ways. The RH1 slot is agreed before the account opens and does not move week to week — it is a fixed place on a round, not a two-hour window that lands mid-lunch.

  • Access around Merstham is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day. Loading restrictions and one-way systems are the reason most suppliers drift late here.
  • Deliveries land before the doors open, so setup starts with a full cupboard instead of a count of what survived last night.
  • If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — we come back the same day. At 21.2 miles that is a decision, not a logistics exercise.
Can par levels handle a full Saturday in Merstham?

The weekend sets the level. Stock that only just covers midweek runs out exactly when the room is full and nobody has time to notice.

  • We count a real week in Merstham — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
  • Reviewed after a full month once there is real data rather than a first guess — at no cost either way.
  • Seasonal swing is expected — RH1 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
We own our linen — will you launder it in Merstham?

Either, and mixed accounts are normal. Hire from us, or we launder stock you already own — the RH1 round collects both the same way and on the same docket.

  • Owned stock stays yours. We do not buy it off you at a discount to simplify the paperwork.
  • Hire covers replacement — which is usually the larger number over a year, because linen wears out in public.
  • Most Merstham accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
We are a 24-cover place — are we too small?

No, and no tie-in either. A 24-cover room in Merstham is a stop on an existing run, not a trip we have to justify.

  • Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants and are priced the same way: on usage, not on category.
  • No tie-in and no volume threshold attached to the quote. The price you agree is the price at any volume.
  • Growing later is a par-level change, not a renegotiation — adding a second flat does not reopen the contract.
  • No exit fee. If it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock.

Getting it right first time in Merstham

Most of the environmental cost of restaurant linen is rewashing and early replacement, not the wash itself — a cloth retired at the first oil mark has cost more than one washed twice. In Merstham there is a second saving: the kitchens here sit close enough together that one round covers them, instead of separate journeys out from Wembley.

  • One RH1 round serves Merstham, Redhill and Chaldon — 3 areas, one set of miles.
  • A 21.2-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
  • Closed-loop rinse water — the cheapest litre is the one used twice.
  • Oil and wine marks are re-treated before an item is retired. Most recover.
