Kitchen Linen In Putney Back Before Prep

Yes — Putney sits on the SW15 round, 7 days, 7.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Wandsworth, Parsons Green and Southfields — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Putney Bridge, East Putney and Putney — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, because of that distance.
• 187 kitchens around SW15 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

Yes — kitchen soil is classified separately from front of house.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — grease lifts at a different temperature from protein, and scorch responds to neither.
• Whites never run through the cycle the table linen was on — which is the usual reason jackets go grey.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — through the whole process.
• Every load is temperature logged — which matters on any site that has to show an inspector how its linen is handled.

Priced on your brigade, not off a rate card. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in Putney before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
• No minimum order — a two-section Putney kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — a Putney kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

Yes. Contract catering, schools and care homes are all on the rounds.

• 31 school kitchens around SW15 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• 1 care home kitchens nearby — with the same named-garment handling.
• 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 Wandsworth, not as separate customers.

We size the brigade before quoting, not after the first complaint.

• 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 — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — against what the brigade actually used, because any opening count is an estimate.

That is the point of putting Putney on the SW15 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Putney Bridge and the traffic that comes with 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 — rather than locking you into a summer volume you do not use in February.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will size your brigade while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Putney kitchens run half and half.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hire what nobody reads, keep your own name on the whites.
• You can move a line between the two later — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.
