Kitchen Linen In Roehampton Back Before Prep

Yes — Roehampton sits on the SW15 round, 7 days, 7.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Mortlake, East Sheen and Putney — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 7.8 miles buys you.
• 30 kitchens around SW15 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

There is no honest price list for kitchen work. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in Roehampton before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
• No minimum order — so a small kitchen is a normal account.
• The count includes your busy season — which is where most estimates fall over; a figure taken in February will not survive August.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — and commit you to nothing.

Yes, and they are not an afterthought on a restaurant round.

• 13 school kitchens around SW15 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• 2 care home kitchens nearby — sites that need an audit trail get colour-coded cloths and named whites as standard.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — get one account manager and staggered collection days across the group.

Sizing is where most kitchen accounts go wrong, so we do it on site.

• Every section is sized at setup — including the sections that get through two a shift.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — rather than waiting for an order cycle.
• Garments are named — which takes the sorting job off the pass entirely.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — and again after your first busy season, which is where opening figures usually fail.

Yes — the SW15 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• A drop in the middle of prep is a drop nobody can receive. The round is sequenced around that.
• 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 — 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. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Roehampton, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• 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 — without reopening the account or renegotiating anything.

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

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — one cycle cannot serve all three, which is why a general programme leaves all three behind.
• 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 — and the log is against your account, not a general plant figure.
