Commercial Linen In Stanwell On The Morning Round

Yes — Stanwell sits on the TW19 round, 7 days, 11.3 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Longford, Heathrow and Bedfont — the same vehicle covers them, which is why a counter here can be added without moving anyone else.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 11.3 miles buys you.

Yes — the TW19 round is sequenced by opening time. Cafes open earlier than almost anything else we serve.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• A mid-morning drop missed the shift it was for. We schedule against your opening time, not ours.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

Coffee oil, milk protein and syrup are not the same soil as food-service linen. On a general cycle they build up and whites dull within weeks.

• Cafe cloths and aprons run on their own classification — not as the tail end of a kitchen load.
• Milk protein needs the right temperature, not just a hotter one — overheating fixes the stain instead of lifting it.
• Grey whites are usually a wash problem, not an age problem — replacement rate is the clearest signal the classification is off.

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee.

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Stanwell in February and Stanwell in July are different businesses, and the account should say so.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so there is never a morning in Stanwell with nothing clean.

No minimum, on any line. A single-site independent cafe in Stanwell is an ordinary account for us.

• Small sites go on the same TW19 round — which is why size barely moves the per-item price.
• A dozen aprons and a bundle of tea towels is a real account — not something we surcharge.
• Volume changes are expected — a quiet January in Stanwell and a busy July are the same account.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. Plenty of Stanwell accounts run half and half.

• Hire — we own the stock, replace it as it wears and keep the par count topped up.
• Wash-only — your own branded aprons come back to you, the same items, not pooled.
• Plenty of cafes do both — hire what nobody sees, keep your own name on what the customer does.

Tell your account manager and a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

• If it happens twice, the par count is wrong — and resetting it is our job, not a favour.
• Most Stanwell cafes are not short of linen overall — they are short of it on two predictable days, which is a counting problem rather than a volume one.
• Seasonal swings are planned in — rather than handled as emergencies.

No. Kitchen cloths and table linen go on the same TW19 collection and the same invoice.

• No second supplier and no second delivery day — the round does not change when the kitchen opens.
• Chef whites, oven cloths and table linen — added as lines, not as a new agreement.
• If the kitchen is the bigger half — see restaurant laundry for how a kitchen-led account is priced.
