Kitchen Linen In Selhurst On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Selhurst sits on the SE25 round, 7 days, 14.4 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with South Norwood, Woodside and Thornton Heath — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Norwood Junction, Selhurst and Thornton Heath — which matters when the drop has to miss prep by half an hour.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because Selhurst is only 14.4 miles out.
• 76 kitchens around SE25 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

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

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hired cloths and aprons, own-branded jackets on wash-only.
• You can move a line between the two later — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• 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 — that transfer is what dulls a brigade's whites inside a month.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — through the whole process.
• Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.

Priced on your brigade, not off a rate card. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Selhurst before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• 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. Contract catering, schools and care homes are all on the rounds.

• 31 school kitchens around SE25 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 6 care home kitchens nearby — with the same named-garment handling.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — keep one invoice and one point of contact however many kitchens are on it.

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

• Every section is sized at setup — not estimated from a headcount.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Selhurst change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• Garments are named — which takes the sorting job off the pass entirely.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real Selhurst month rather than a first guess.

Outside both, because prep is the window most suppliers hit.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Norwood Junction because that is where the delay actually happens.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• A relief driver inherits the window with the route — holidays and sickness are the usual cause of a missed slot elsewhere; here the slot travels with the round sheet.

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 — there is no cost to finding out.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so no Selhurst section starts a shift without whites.
• If it is not working, say so — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.
