Hospitality Linen In Ongar Collected On Round

Yes — Ongar sits on the CM5 round, 24.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Epping, Brentwood and Ingatestone — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the roads around Ongar — the same crew runs it each week, so nobody is reading a map on your loading bay.
• 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 Epping, 5.8 miles away, on the same run.

• No tender and no tie-in — thirty days notice, no exit fee.
• 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.
• Nothing needs to end first — the count happens whenever suits; the round starts when you are free.

A standing slot, 7 days — fixed, not 'sometime that morning'.

• 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.
• Recovery is same-day, not next-round — 24.8 miles is close enough that the fix is hours away.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper and simpler than separate accounts.

• One account manager across every Epping Forest site.
• One invoice, consolidated but itemised — one payment, full visibility.
• Par stock tracked per site — so a quiet property does not quietly fund a busy one.
• One invoice, itemised by property — so nobody reconciles it by hand at the end of the month.

No minimum. Minimums exist to cover a dedicated trip. This is not one.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — the process does not know how many rooms you have.
• 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.
• Nothing to escape from — the arrangement holds because it works, not because it is signed.

Settled at the audit, written onto the CM5 round sheet, and not revisited on the day.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — whichever actually works for your building, agreed once and then fixed.
• Timed around Ongar and the traffic that comes with it.
• Nine times in ten, a missed first collection is an access problem — a supplier who has not walked the building finds out on your floor, not theirs.
• The mileage is not billed back to you — you are joining an existing journey rather than paying for a new one, which is why a small Ongar account is still worth having.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — you should not have to re-explain the building every August.

At our own plant in Wembley, 24.8 miles from Ongar. One building, ours, every load.

• 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.
• One site means one standard — subcontracting is where consistency goes, because the second plant washes to its own schedule rather than to yours.

Both are available, and moving between them does not mean a new account.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, including the spares you would otherwise be storing.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, processed to the same spec.
• Mixed is common — there is no rule that says it has to be one or the other.
• Hire covers replacement — you stop budgeting for replacement stock, because replacement is the point of hire.
