Hospitality Linen In Shirley Collected On Round

Yes — Shirley sits on the CR0 round, 16.5 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Addiscombe, West Wickham and Woodside — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

A standing slot, 7 days — the same time each week, which is the point.

• Same driver each week — so housekeeping hands over to someone who knows the property.
• Planned around check-out, which keeps dirty linen out of your corridors.
• Changeable — seasons shift, occupancy shifts, the slot can shift with them.
• Recovery is same-day, not next-round — A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper and simpler than separate accounts.

• One account manager across every Croydon 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.
• One invoice, itemised by property — the total and the split, on the same document.

No minimum. Minimums exist to cover a dedicated trip. This is not one.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — small accounts are not queued behind large ones.
• No small-volume premium, which is the part most suppliers will not put in writing.
• Seasonal properties welcome — no reconnection fee, no renegotiation each spring.
• No exit fee either — the arrangement holds because it works, not because it is signed.

Worked out with your team in advance — we would rather ask twice than guess once.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — chosen with housekeeping rather than assumed from the front elevation.
• This is where new suppliers come unstuck — not the laundry, not the van, the door.
• No delivery surcharge for the distance — you are joining an existing journey rather than paying for a new one, which is why a small Shirley account is still worth having.
• It is recorded against the account, not a person — access details live on the round sheet, so a stand-in is not knocking on the front door.

At our own plant in Wembley, 16.5 miles from Shirley. No third party, no white-labelling, no surprises about where your linen spent the night.

• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• One process, one audit — ISO 9001 and per-load temperature logs mean something because everything runs through the same building.
• You can visit. It is an hour out of your day and it answers most of the questions on this page.
• Nothing is passed to a third party — a supplier who cannot tell you which building your linen is in cannot promise you much about how it was washed.

Both are available, and moving between them does not mean a new account.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, so nothing is tied up in sheets.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, useful where the stock is branded or a particular weave.
• Mixed is common — there is no rule that says it has to be one or the other.
• 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. The nearest hotels we already collect from are the 6 in Addiscombe, 1.3 miles away, on the same run.

• 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 and you keep the numbers whether or not you use us.
• Nothing needs to end first — the count happens whenever suits; the round starts when you are free.
