Kitchen Linen In Sidcup On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Sidcup sits on the DA15 round, 7 days, 18.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Blackfen, Foots Cray and Albany Park — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Sidcup — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your back door.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
• 85 kitchens around DA15 are already on this round — so the vehicle is sized for kitchen work rather than adapted to it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. The two sit on one invoice and one round.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — the embroidery matters on the jacket, rarely on the oven cloth.
• 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 — and their own temperature.
• 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 — through the whole process.
• Every load is temperature logged — which matters on any site that has to show an inspector how its linen is handled.

It is quoted, not tariffed. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in Sidcup before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — a two-section Sidcup kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — and commit you to nothing.

Yes — catering kitchens are a large part of what we collect.

• 16 school kitchens around DA15 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• 10 care home kitchens nearby — with the same named-garment handling.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — so the coding still means something when the cloths come back.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Bexley, not as separate customers.

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 Sidcup 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 — and again after your first busy season, which is where opening figures usually fail.

Yes — the DA15 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.
• Timed around Sidcup so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• 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 — 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 — Sidcup in August and Sidcup in January are different kitchens, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will size your brigade while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so no Sidcup section starts a shift without whites.
• If it is not working, say so — most problems are a wrong par count or a wrong delivery window, and both are fixable without changing supplier.
