Kitchen Linen In Stanmore Back Before Prep

Yes — Stanmore sits on the HA7 round, 7 days, 4.0 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Canons Park, Harrow Weald and Wealdstone — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Stanmore — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your back door.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 4.0 miles buys you.
• 20 kitchens around HA7 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

Always. Kitchen work never follows table linen through the machine.

• 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 — from collection to the rail, so the coding still means something when it comes back.
• Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.

It is quoted, not tariffed. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in Stanmore before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• The count includes your busy season — a Stanmore kitchen quoted off a quiet month runs short in the one that matters.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

Yes. Contract catering, schools and care homes are all on the rounds.

• 12 school kitchens around HA7 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 1 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 — are handled as one account across Harrow, not as separate customers.

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

• Every section is sized at setup — larder and pastry do not wear through jackets at the same rate, and the count reflects that.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — a phone call to your account manager, not a reorder.
• 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 Stanmore month rather than a first guess.

Yes — the HA7 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around Stanmore so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.
• 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 — Stanmore in August and Stanmore in January are different kitchens, and the account should say so.
• 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 Stanmore section starts a shift without whites.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — garment for garment, never substituted.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hire what nobody reads, keep your own name on the whites.
• You can move a line between the two later — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.
