What goes wrong in Sturry
Sturry linen should be invisible
CT2 has its own constraints — access, timing, and the roads around Sturry. A supplier who does not know the area finds that out on your floor, not theirs.
-
Missed morning windows
One delay near Sturry and housekeeping is stripping rooms with nowhere to put the linen.
-
Quality that drifts
Nobody writes a review about good sheets. They write one about the other kind.
-
Inventory you cannot see
Operators running more than one CT2 property lose track of what is where, and pay for it twice.
Sturry onboarding, in four steps
There is no route to build — CT2 already runs. Joining it is a conversation about times and access.
-
We come and count
What you hold, what you lose, and what you are currently paying for both.
Booked within days in CT2
-
Access agreed
Loading bay, service lift, back entrance — agreed before the first collection, not on the day.
Sturry constraints accounted for

You join the CT2 round
A standing slot on the same run as Fordwich and Canterbury.
7 days, fixed times
-
Back on the next round
Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
One journey, both ways
Multi-site operators in Canterbury get one contact and one invoice — the round does not change, only the stops.
Sturry linen never leaves our own plant
Everything collected in Sturry goes to one place — our own plant in Wembley, 63.0 miles away — and comes back from it. No overflow site, no partner facility.
It also means collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because there is no second journey in the middle.

Switching in Sturry without a single empty shelf
Most Sturry operators stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like risking a week of bare beds. It is the objection we hear most, so here is exactly how it runs.
- Before you commit
Your stock gets counted, not guessed at
An hour on site in Sturry: what is on the shelves, what is in circulation, what is past saving. You keep every item you own — nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look neater.
- The changeover
You carry too much linen for a week, on purpose
Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the CT2 round starts delivering. For that week you are carrying more linen than you need, which is the point — there is no day when a floor is short.
- From then on
It becomes a delivery you stop noticing
Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Fordwich and Canterbury are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.
Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the audit and the plan cost you nothing either way.
The week you switch is the week nobody in Sturry can tell.

We rely on clean bolster covers, fleece blankets and eye pillows. Delicate fabrics are treated with care while still getting a deep, hypoallergenic sanitisation, and everything comes back beautifully presented.
Hannah Sterling Studio Coordinator · Yoga & pilates studio -
From velvet seat throws to staff aprons and heavy bar towels, our eclectic mix of textiles is handled without fuss. The turnaround times and the account management are what stand out.
Kieran Davies Venue & Hospitality Manager · Boutique cinema & lounge -
Back-to-back conferences and galas mean huge quantities of table skirts, stage linens and catering napkins at short notice. They have never missed a deadline on any of it.
Danielle Moreau Events Logistics Manager · Corporate event venue -
Grooming generates heavy, fur-filled towels and specialist bedding that a standard machine cannot handle. Everything is collected and returned allergen-free, fluffy and sterilised. Top marks for taking on the difficult jobs.
Natasha Petrov Head Groomer & Manager · Pet grooming & daycare -
Whether we are catering a wedding or a corporate launch, linen presentation has to be immaculate. We get crisp, vacuum-sealed table linens and pristine chef jackets every time — a genuine operational ally.
Julian Bennett Executive Director of Operations · Catering & event production -
Our membership expects discretion and immaculate standards. Dining room linens and guest suites are laundered to a bespoke standard, and the discretion around our account has been absolute.
Alistair Finch Club Secretary & General Manager · Private members' club -
LP Laundry has been an absolute game-changer for our 45-room boutique hotel. Turnaround on our bed linens and heavy plush towels is inside 24 hours without a single delay. We could not be happier with the crisp, immaculate finish.
Charlotte Vance Front of House & Accommodation Manager · 45-room boutique hotel -
For high-end short-stay apartments, guest reviews live and die by linen quality. We get hotel-grade crispness that consistently earns us five-star cleanliness ratings, and the communication lines are short when something needs resolving.

Local knowledge
Sturry, specifically
A leafy residential village on the edge of Canterbury, famous for its ancient river crossing. Unique to Sturry.
Properties here sit on the CT2 round, which is why a missed morning window is recovered on the next run rather than the next week.

Sturry — what operators ask first
Do you already serve Sturry properties?
Yes — Sturry sits on the CT2 round, 63.0 miles from our Wembley plant.
- Shared with Fordwich, Canterbury and Blean — the same vehicle covers them, which is why we can add a property here without moving anyone else's slot.
- The driver knows the roads around Sturry — the same crew runs it each week, so nobody is reading a map on your loading bay.
- Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.
What about parking and loading restrictions in CT2?
Agreed before the first collection, not on the morning.
- Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — recorded against the account so a relief driver has it too.
- Timed around Sturry and the traffic that comes with it.
- This is where new suppliers come unstuck — and it is entirely avoidable with one site visit.
- No delivery surcharge for the distance — a shared run is what makes 63.0 miles affordable for a property of any size.
- Relief drivers get the same notes — the arrangement survives a change of driver, which is when most suppliers slip.
Is Sturry linen subcontracted to another site?
At our own plant in Wembley, 63.0 miles from Sturry. No third party, no white-labelling, no surprises about where your linen spent the night.
- Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens.
- One process, one audit — ISO 9001 and per-load temperature logs mean something because everything runs through the same building.
- You can visit. We would rather show you than write about it.
- Nothing is passed to a third party — subcontracting is where consistency goes, because the second plant washes to its own schedule rather than to yours.
What is the difference between hire and wash-only for CT2?
Whichever suits the property — and it can change as the property does.
- On hire we hold and replace the stock, which takes linen off your balance sheet entirely.
- Wash-only keeps your linen yours, processed to the same spec.
- Mixed is common — most properties end up somewhere between the two.
- Stock ageing is our cost, not yours — the par level does not quietly drop over a season while nobody is counting.
What does switching involve for a Sturry hotel?
A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day. The nearest hotels we already collect from are the 40 in Canterbury, 2.0 miles away, on the same run.
- No tender and no tie-in — a contract only protects a supplier who expects the service to slip.
- Par levels set per room type, so housekeeping never opens an empty cupboard.
- The audit is free — most operators find out what they are losing, which is worth the hour on its own.
- You do not have to be out of contract — we work to your notice, not against it.
Is the Sturry collection time fixed or a window?
A standing slot, 7 days — the same time each week, which is the point.
- Same driver each week — continuity matters more here than most suppliers admit.
- Planned around check-out, which keeps dirty linen out of your corridors.
- Changeable — if the time stops suiting you we move it.
- Recovery is same-day, not next-round — the plant is 63.0 miles away, so a disrupted run is a second trip rather than a note on next week's schedule.
We run several properties near Sturry — one account?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper and simpler than separate accounts.
- One account manager across every Canterbury site.
- One invoice, broken down per property so you can still see where it goes.
- Par stock tracked per site — so a quiet property does not quietly fund a busy one.
- Finance sees one number, each site sees its own — which is what stops one busy property quietly subsidising a quiet one.
Are small Sturry venues too small for you?
No minimum. The round is already passing, which is the whole reason we can say that.
- Same turnaround regardless of size — a six-room guest house gets what a 200-room hotel gets.
- No small-volume premium, and no rounding up to a notional minimum.
- Seasonal properties welcome — collections pause and restart without closing the account.
- No exit fee either — no notice period dressed up as a minimum term.
Something specific to your property?
Ask us directlyRewashing Sturry linen is the real environmental cost
Most of the environmental cost of hotel linen is rewashing and replacement, not the wash itself. In Sturry there is a second saving: the properties here sit close enough together that one round covers them, instead of separate journeys out from Wembley.
- One CT2 round serves Sturry, Fordwich and Canterbury — 3 areas, one set of miles.
- A 63.0-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
- Rinse water recovered and reused rather than discharged after a single cycle.
- Stained items are re-treated before they are retired — most recover.
