What goes wrong in Send
Send covers do not wait for a laundry van
GU23 has its own constraints — access, timing, and the roads around Guildford. A supplier who does not know the area finds that out during your service, not theirs.
-
Late drops before a full book
A late run near Guildford means napkins arrive while the first covers are already seated.
-
Cloths that go out marked
A creased cloth is a two-second judgement made before anyone has read the menu.
-
Running out on a Friday
Chef whites are the first thing to run short and the last thing anyone counts.
How it works
Set up once in Send, then stop thinking about it
Most of the work happens before the first collection, and most of it is ours.
-
The count
An hour looking at what Send actually gets through: a midweek service, a full Saturday, and the difference between them.
Booked within days in GU23
-
Stock set to your week
Stock is weighted to the weekend, because that is the service where running short actually costs you something.
Reviewed after a full month
-
Same day, same driver
Collections settle into a window that sits outside service — not a two-hour promise that lands mid-lunch.
Outside service hours
-
Ready to lay up
Pressed, counted, hung and bagged — the delivery is finished when it lands rather than when someone has sorted it.
Counted both ways
Running more than one site in Guildford? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.
How it is processed
Send linen is not subcontracted
There is one building between your linen and ours: a plant in Wembley, 21.9 miles from Send, that we own and run.
It is also why a chef jacket and a tablecloth get different treatment here — a subcontractor washes to their schedule, not your soil.

Changing supplier in Send, without the Friday you are dreading
Most Send operators stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like risking a service. It is the objection we hear most, so here is exactly how it runs.
- First, the count
We count a real week, not an average one
An hour in Send: what goes out on a Saturday, what is still in the wash, what is past saving. You keep every item you own — nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look neater.
- The changeover
Both suppliers run at once
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the GU23 round starts delivering. For that week you are holding more than you need, which is the point — there is no service you lay up short for.
- Settled
It becomes a delivery you stop noticing
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Old Woking and Ripley are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the plan cost you nothing either way.
The week you switch is the week nobody in Send notices.

Our members expect fresh sweat towels immediately after back-to-back spinning classes. They handle our daily volume seamlessly, and I would single out the punctuality and the clean, long-lasting scent of the eco-friendly detergents.
Marcus Thorne Studio Manager · Boutique fitness studio -
In clinical and aesthetic practice, hygiene standards have to meet rigorous compliance. High-temperature sanitised gowns, drapes and bed covers arrive reliably every week. I trust their quality control completely.
Dr Elena Rostova Clinic Director · Private healthcare clinic -
For high-end short-stay apartments, guest reviews live and die by linen quality. We get hotel-grade crispness that consistently earns us five-star cleanliness ratings, and the communication lines are short when something needs resolving.
Beatrice Dupont Head of Housekeeping · Luxury serviced apartments -
We use dozens of salon towels and client gowns every day. Stubborn hair dye and product stains come out effortlessly and our capes still look new. They are an indispensable part of the daily flow here.
Chloe St. Laurent Salon Owner & Manager · Hair & beauty salon -
We rely on clean bolster covers, fleece blankets and eye pillows. Delicate fabrics are treated with care while still getting a deep, hypoallergenic sanitisation, and everything comes back beautifully presented.
Hannah Sterling Studio Coordinator · Yoga & pilates studio -
From velvet seat throws to staff aprons and heavy bar towels, our eclectic mix of textiles is handled without fuss. The turnaround times and the account management are what stand out.
Kieran Davies Venue & Hospitality Manager · Boutique cinema & lounge -
As a family-run Victorian B&B we need a partner who understands traditional hospitality. Our heritage cotton sheets are treated with real care, the drivers are friendly and the weekly delivery is consistent.
Arthur Pendelton Proprietor & Manager · Traditional bed & breakfast -
Back-to-back conferences and galas mean huge quantities of table skirts, stage linens and catering napkins at short notice. They have never missed a deadline on any of it.

The area
Send, specifically
A delightful riverside village centered around the historic Wey Navigation and local common land. Unique to Send.
Kitchens here sit on the GU23 round, close enough to the plant that a disrupted run is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's sheet.

Send questions, answered
Is Send on one of your rounds?
1 restaurants in Send sit inside the area we already collect from, 21.9 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 1 cafés and 1 pubs and bars are on the same run.
- Shared with Old Woking, Ripley and Mayford — they sit on the same run, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles — and that is what keeps a small account viable here.
- 7 days collections, set once with you, then kept — not re-planned each morning by a scheduling system.
- a 21.9-mile round trip keeps the recovery window short — the plant is close enough to come back.
How do you deal with grease, wine and wax in Send?
Kitchen soil is treated as kitchen soil. Grease, red wine, oil and candle wax each need a different combination of temperature, dwell time and chemistry, and no single programme gets all four out.
- Items are sorted before washing, not after. A tablecloth and an oven cloth never share a load — that is how cloths come back grey.
- Marked items are pulled at the check stage so the decision about whether a cloth is still good enough is ours, not yours at 6pm.
- Wax is lifted before wash, not melted through the fabric by a hot cycle, which is what sets it permanently.
Do you do chef whites as well as table linen in Send?
Yes — and on the same visit. Splitting linen and workwear across two suppliers is how one of them ends up late.
- Whites come back on hangers, not folded into a bag for someone to iron again before service.
- Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — so nothing needs sorting at the pass during setup.
- Sizes are held in stock, so hiring someone does not mean borrowing a jacket two sizes out.
We have two kitchens. Does that complicate it?
One account manager, one invoice. Multi-site operators across Guildford are the norm rather than the exception, and the round does not change — only the drop list does.
- Each site keeps its own par level. The busy site gets the depth it needs without the quiet one paying for stock it never uses.
- Consolidated billing with a per-site breakdown, so a head office sees one number and each kitchen still sees its own.
- Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.
What time does the van come in Send?
Never during service. Your GU23 slot is fixed when the account opens, so it is a standing appointment rather than a window someone assigns you on the day.
- Deliveries land before the doors open, so setup starts with a full cupboard instead of a count of what survived last night.
- If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — a 21.9-mile plant means the fix is hours away rather than days.
Send is quiet midweek and full at weekends — does that work?
The weekend sets the level. Stock that only just covers midweek runs out exactly when the room is full and nobody has time to notice.
- We count a real week in Send — covers midweek, covers at the weekend, and how many cloths a turn actually costs you rather than what the last supplier's sheet said.
- Reviewed after a full month once there is real data rather than a first guess — at no cost either way.
- Seasonal swing is expected — GU23 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
In Send, do we have to hire or can you wash our own?
Whichever suits the item. We hire and we wash-only, and the GU23 round does not care which is in the bag.
- Owned stock stays yours. What you bought, you keep — including the items we would not have chosen.
- Hire covers replacement — the cost of a cloth reaching the end of its life sits with us, not with you.
- Most Send accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
Is a small Send café too small for you?
No, and no tie-in either. A 24-cover room in Send is a stop on an existing run, not a trip we have to justify.
- Cafés and bars sit alongside restaurants on the same round — the vehicle does not care what is on the sign outside.
- No tie-in and no volume threshold to keep the price you were quoted — the rate does not change if you have a quiet January.
- Growing later is a par-level change, not a renegotiation — adding a second flat does not reopen the contract.
- No exit fee. If it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock.
Something specific to your kitchen?
Ask us directlyThe greenest wash is the one Send does not repeat
Most of the environmental cost of restaurant linen is rewashing and early replacement, not the wash itself — a cloth retired at the first oil mark has cost more than one washed twice. In Send there is a second saving: the kitchens here sit close enough together that one round covers them, instead of separate journeys out from Wembley.
- One GU23 round serves Send, Old Woking and Ripley — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 21.9-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
- Closed-loop rinse water — the cheapest litre is the one used twice.
- A re-treated tablecloth costs a fraction of a replacement one, environmentally and otherwise.
