Kitchen Linen In North Kensington Back Before Prep

Yes — North Kensington sits on the W10 round, 7 days, 4.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Kensal Green, White City and Notting Hill — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Kensal Green, Latimer Road and Westbourne Park — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 4.1 miles buys you.
• 333 kitchens around W10 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

In person, section by section — not off a headcount.

• Every section is sized at setup — larder and pastry do not wear through jackets at the same rate, and the count reflects that.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — rather than waiting for an order cycle.
• Garments are named — so nobody is sorting a mixed box at the start of a shift.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real North Kensington month rather than a first guess.

That is the point of putting North Kensington on the W10 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• Timed around Kensal Green so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.
• A relief driver inherits the window with the route — so cover weeks do not become the weeks it goes wrong.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• 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 — so no North Kensington section starts a shift without whites.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — the rail is maintained for you, including the jackets that scorch first.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left North Kensington, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — the embroidery matters on the jacket, rarely on the oven cloth.
• You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Always. Kitchen work never follows table linen through the machine.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — and their own temperature.
• Whites never run through the cycle the table linen was on — and that separation is the whole reason ours stay white.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — which matters on any site that needs an audit trail.
• Every load is temperature logged — which matters on any site that has to show an inspector how its linen is handled.

It is quoted, not tariffed. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in North Kensington before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — so a small kitchen is a normal account.
• The count includes your busy season — a North Kensington kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — there is no cost to finding out what it would look like.

Yes — catering kitchens are a large part of what we collect.

• 54 school kitchens around W10 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• 10 care home kitchens nearby — where consistency matters more than turnaround speed, and the account is set up for that.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Kensington and Chelsea, not as separate customers.
