Hotel Linen In Rochester Collected To Schedule

Yes — Rochester sits on the ME1 round, 36.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Medway, Chatham and Strood — the same vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a property here without moving anyone else's slot.
• The driver knows the roads around Strood, Chatham and Rochester — route knowledge is most of what separates a kept window from a missed one.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

No minimum. The van is in ME1 regardless — you are not the reason for the journey.

• 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.
• You can stop — no notice period dressed up as a minimum term.

Agreed before the first collection, not on the morning.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — chosen with housekeeping rather than assumed from the front elevation.
• Timed around Strood because that is where the delay actually happens.
• Nine times in ten, a missed first collection is an access problem — and it is entirely avoidable with one site visit.
• The mileage is not billed back to you — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• Relief drivers get the same notes — you should not have to re-explain the building every August.

At our own plant in Wembley, 36.0 miles from Rochester. One building, ours, every load.

• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
• One process, one audit — traceability only works when there is one chain to trace.
• You can visit. We would rather show you than write about it.
• The chain is short on purpose — we own the plant, so a complaint has one address rather than two.

Whichever suits the property — and it can change as the property does.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, including the spares you would otherwise be storing.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, with damaged items flagged rather than quietly retired.
• Mixed is common — most properties end up somewhere between the two.
• Stock ageing is our cost, not yours — greying, fraying and losses are carried by us rather than appearing on your invoice each quarter, which is usually the larger number over a year.

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

• No tender and no tie-in — thirty days notice, no exit fee.
• Par levels set per room type, worked out from your occupancy rather than a rule of thumb.
• 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 — we work to your notice, not against it.

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, so linen leaves as rooms are stripped.
• Changeable — seasons shift, occupancy shifts, the slot can shift with them.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — the plant is 36.0 miles away, so a disrupted run is a second trip rather than a note on next week's schedule.

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

• One account manager across every Medway site.
• One invoice, consolidated but itemised — one payment, full visibility.
• Par stock tracked per site — the usual multi-property problem is linen drifting between buildings and being paid for twice.
• Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown — which is what stops one busy property quietly subsidising a quiet one.
