Hotel Linen In Portsoken Collected On Round

Yes — Portsoken sits on the E1 round, 9.7 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Aldgate, Tower and Lime Street — one van, one run, which is what keeps the cost of a small account sensible.
• The driver knows the roads around Bank, Whitechapel and Monument — 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.

Worked out with your team in advance — we would rather ask twice than guess once.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — chosen with housekeeping rather than assumed from the front elevation.
• Timed around Bank so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• It is the usual failure point — and it is entirely avoidable with one site visit.
• Distance does not appear on the invoice — a shared run is what makes 9.7 miles affordable for a property of any size.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — you should not have to re-explain the building every August.

At our own plant in Wembley, 9.7 miles from Portsoken. Nothing is subcontracted to a third site.

• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• One process, one audit — a certificate covering a site you do not control is a certificate covering nothing.
• You can visit. Clients who come tend to sign.
• The chain is short on purpose — a supplier who cannot tell you which building your linen is in cannot promise you much about how it was washed.

Either, and you can change later without changing supplier.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, so nothing is tied up in sheets.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, processed to the same spec.
• Mixed is common — most properties end up somewhere between the two.
• Hire covers replacement — the par level does not quietly drop over a season while nobody is counting.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day.

• No tender and no tie-in — you stay because it works, or you leave in a month.
• Par levels set per room type, so housekeeping never opens an empty cupboard.
• The audit is free and you keep the numbers whether or not you use us.
• Nothing needs to end first — we work to your notice, not against it.

A standing slot, 7 days — the same time each week, which is the point.

• Same driver each week — continuity matters more here than most suppliers admit.
• Planned around check-out, not against it — the van should not be waiting on your team.
• Changeable — if the time stops suiting you we move it.
• If we miss it, we come back — 9.7 miles is close enough that the fix is hours away.

Yes. Separate accounts for sites on the same round is a billing habit, not a requirement.

• One account manager across every City of London site.
• One invoice, with per-site lines, so finance and operations can both use it.
• Par stock tracked per site — so a quiet property does not quietly fund a busy one.
• Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown — 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, and no rounding up to a notional minimum.
• Seasonal properties welcome — we would rather hold the slot than lose the relationship.
• No exit fee either — the arrangement holds because it works, not because it is signed.
