What goes wrong
The New Addington morning goes wrong before the first coffee
Almost nobody around CR0 changes linen supplier to save money. They change because the same thing went wrong three weeks running.
-
Deliveries that land after opening
A cafe opens earlier than almost anything else on the street. A drop timed for mid-morning is a drop that missed the shift it was for, and in New Addington that means serving the first hours on yesterday's cloths.
-
Cloths that come back grey
Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food service. Washed on a general cycle they build up, whites go dull within weeks, and the counter is where it shows.
-
Running short on the busy day
Par counts set on a quiet Tuesday leave you short on Saturday. Most New Addington cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it twice a week.
How it works
Four steps to a New Addington cafe on the round
Most of the work happens before the first collection. Get the count and the timing right and the service stops being something you manage.
-
The count
We count what New Addington actually uses across a full week — not an average week, because the average is exactly the number that leaves you short on a Saturday.
Half an hour, on site
-
The round
New Addington sits on the CR0 round at 18.9 miles out, so the drop time is set against your opening rather than against the traffic.

-
The switch
The changeover in New Addington overlaps by design — new stock lands while the old contract is still running, so no shift is caught between the two.
No gap in service
-
The account
One name, who has seen your counter and knows the CR0 driver. Problems get solved on a call rather than logged.
One name, not a queue
Running more than one site around Croydon? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.
How it is processed
Your New Addington cloths, washed by us and nobody else
There are two buildings between your linen and ours, and we own both. New Addington collections run 18.9 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.
Cafe soil is its own problem. Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup need a different wash to food-service linen, so aprons and cloths run on their own classification rather than whatever the machine was doing before.

Switching supplier in New Addington without missing an opening
The reason New Addington operators put up with a supplier they have stopped rating is timing: there is no good week to risk it. That is a scheduling problem, not a reason to stay.
- Before you commit
We count a real week, not an average one
Half an hour on site: what goes out on a Saturday, what is still in the wash on Monday, and where you run short.
- The handover
Stock lands before the old supplier stops
The two contracts overlap on purpose. New Addington gets its first delivery while the old supplier is still collecting, so there is no morning in between.
- After
Par counts adjust once we have seen a month
Month one is a measurement. From month two the New Addington par count reflects your real weekend rather than our opening guess.
Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the quote cost nothing.
The week you switch is the week nobody notices.

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.
Arthur Pendelton Proprietor & Manager · Traditional bed & breakfast -
Back-to-back conferences and galas mean huge quantities of table skirts, stage linens and catering napkins at short notice. They have never missed a deadline on any of it.
Danielle Moreau Events Logistics Manager · Corporate event venue -
Grooming generates heavy, fur-filled towels and specialist bedding that a standard machine cannot handle. Everything is collected and returned allergen-free, fluffy and sterilised. Top marks for taking on the difficult jobs.
Natasha Petrov Head Groomer & Manager · Pet grooming & daycare -
Table presentation is everything in Mayfair. They handle our heavy cotton damask tablecloths and chef whites with real precision — stains vanish and the starch finish is always spot on. The daily collection has never let us down.

The area
Why New Addington is collected the way it is
A hilltop community with a strong local identity, expansive open spaces, and excellent tram links. Unique to New Addington.
Cafes here sit on the CR0 round, and the constraint is the clock rather than the distance — New Addington opens before most of what we serve, so the drop is timed against opening.

New Addington questions, answered
Do you cover New Addington?
Yes — New Addington sits on the CR0 round, 7 days, 18.9 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Selsdon, Keston and West Wickham — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
- A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because New Addington is only 18.9 miles out.
Is a one-site New Addington cafe worth your while?
No minimum, on any line. A one-site independent is the normal shape of a cafe account.
- Small sites go on the same CR0 round — the journey is already happening; you are a stop on it.
- 2 cafes around CR0 are already on it — which is why the timings suit opening rather than check-out.
- Volume changes are expected — we adjust rather than hold you to a winter figure.
Do you hire aprons, or only launder ours in New Addington?
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 — your own branded aprons come back to you, the same items, not pooled.
- Plenty of cafes do both — hire what nobody sees, keep your own name on what the customer does.
What happens if we run out mid-service?
Tell your account manager and a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
- If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
- Most New Addington cafes are not short of linen overall — the shortage has a shape, and the shape is Saturday.
- Seasonal swings are planned in — we set them ahead rather than react.
Does a New Addington kitchen go on the same collection?
No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same CR0 collection and the same invoice.
- No second supplier and no second delivery day — one account covers both sides of the counter.
- Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — priced per item on the account you already have.
- 2 restaurants around CR0 are on this round too — the kitchen classification already runs on it weekly.
How early can you drop in New Addington?
Yes — the CR0 round is sequenced by opening time. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.
- The time is agreed when the account opens — not left to whenever the van happens to reach New Addington.
- A mid-morning drop missed the shift it was for. We schedule against your opening time, not ours.
- If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
What makes cafe cloths go grey?
Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food-service linen. Run on the wrong programme they accumulate rather than lift.
- Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — rather than whatever the machine was doing before.
- 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.
Do you lock CR0 accounts into a term?
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 — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.
- Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.
