Table Linen In South Norwood Collected On Round

Yes — South Norwood sits on the SE25 round, 14.4 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 6 cafés and 13 pubs and bars are on the same run.

• Shared with Woodside, Selhurst and Anerley — one vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a kitchen here without adding a journey, and why the price does not carry a delivery surcharge.
• 7 days collections, set once with you, then kept — not re-planned each morning by a scheduling system.
• a 14.4-mile round trip means a problem is a second trip that day rather than a note on next week's sheet.

It depends entirely on the mark. Oil, wine and wax behave differently in a wash, and treating them the same is how cloths come back looking tired after a season.

• 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 and re-treated before they go back out. Most recover; the ones that do not are replaced from stock rather than returned to you to notice.
• Wax is lifted before wash, because heat drives it into the weave and fixes it there for good.

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 — because sorting a mixed bag at 5pm is nobody's job.
• Sizes are held in stock, so a new starter on Monday is not waiting until the following week for a jacket that fits.

One contact for all of them. Running several Croydon sites through one account is the common case here, not a special arrangement.

• Each site keeps its own par level. A 30-cover bistro and a 200-cover brasserie should not carry the same stock, and averaging them is how one site runs short every weekend.
• Consolidated billing on one invoice, itemised by site — one number for finance, the detail for whoever asks.
• Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.

Before the doors, not during them. The SE25 round is planned around service times, which is the difference between a supplier who works here and one who merely delivers here.

• Access around Norwood Junction is planned into the route rather than discovered on the day. Loading restrictions and one-way systems are the reason most suppliers drift late here.
• Deliveries land before the doors open, so the team lays up with what arrived that morning rather than what was left in the cupboard.
• If a run is disrupted — a road closure, a breakdown — a 14.4-mile plant means the fix is hours away rather than days.

Par is set to your busiest service, not your average one. A stock level built around a Tuesday fails on a Saturday, which is the night it matters.

• We count a real week in South Norwood — not an estimate, and not the number inherited from whoever quoted before us.
• Reviewed after a full month and changed if the first number was wrong. It often is, in both directions.
• Seasonal swing is expected — SE25 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.

Whichever suits the item. We hire and we wash-only, and the SE25 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 — wear, loss and staining are ours to carry rather than a line that appears on your invoice each quarter.
• Most South Norwood accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.

No minimum order. South Norwood is already on the round, so a small account costs us a stop rather than a journey — which is exactly why some suppliers quote a minimum here and we do not.

• 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 attached to the quote. The price you agree is the price at any volume.
• 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.
