What goes wrong

Three things that cost Summerstown clubs a supplier

Almost nobody around SW17 changes towel supplier to save money. They change because the same thing went wrong three weeks running.

  • Running out at the evening peak

    Towel demand stacks into roughly two hours rather than spreading across opening. A par count set on a daily average leaves the Summerstown rack empty exactly when the floor is busiest.

  • Towels that come back smelling

    A towel can pass inspection dry and fail it in use. Oil left in the fibre only announces itself once the towel warms up, which is after it has reached a member.

  • Stock that never quite balances

    Towels walk. Every Summerstown club loses some, and an account that does not plan for shrinkage turns into a monthly argument about counts.

How it works

Four steps, and the Summerstown rack stops being your problem

Most of the work happens before the first collection. Get the peak-hour count right and the towel rack stops being something the duty manager thinks about.

Serving SW17 Since 2009
  1. The count

    We count against your peak rather than your average — a Monday evening and a Sunday morning in Summerstown are different businesses, and the par level has to survive both.

    An hour, at peak

  2. The round

    SW17 already has a collection day. We fit you to it and agree a time that lands before the evening rush rather than during it.

    SW17 · 7 days

  3. The switch

    Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down, so there is never an evening with an empty rack.

    No gap in service

  4. The account

    A named account manager who knows your site and the SW17 round — January volume and seasonal changes go through one person, not a form.

    One name, not a queue

Running more than one club around Merton? The same account manager covers all of them, on staggered days so no site is left short.

How it is processed

No third party touches Summerstown gym towelling

There are two buildings between your towels and ours, and we own both. Summerstown collections run 10.1 miles to our Wembley plant. Nothing is passed to a third party in between.

What comes off a Summerstown gym floor is not what comes off a hotel bed. Body oil needs its own temperature and no softener, so towelling is classified separately rather than run at the tail of a linen load.

Changing supplier is not the January risk Summerstown clubs think

The reason Summerstown operators put up with a supplier they have stopped rating is timing: there is no good week to gamble on towels. That is a scheduling problem, not a reason to stay.

  1. Before you commit

    We count your peak, not your average

    An hour on site at the time it actually matters. Towel demand stacks into two hours, and an average hides exactly that.

  2. The handover

    Stock lands before the old supplier stops

    You are never between suppliers. New stock is on the shelf before the last collection of the old contract.

  3. After

    Par counts adjust once we have seen a month

    First counts are an estimate. After four weeks we set them against what you actually used, including what walked out of the door.

Nothing here needs you to be out of contract first — the count and the quote cost nothing.

The week you switch is the week nobody notices.

    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
  • 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
  • Running a high-end spa means going through hundreds of bathrobes and spa towels daily. Our rotation stays fully stocked with exceptionally soft, hygienically pristine textiles. Guest comfort has noticeably improved since we switched.
    Siobhan O'Connor Spa Operations Director · Luxury health club & spa
  • Our members expect fresh sweat towels immediately after back-to-back spinning classes. They handle our daily volume seamlessly, and I would single out the punctuality and the clean, long-lasting scent of the eco-friendly detergents.
    Marcus Thorne Studio Manager · Boutique fitness studio
  • 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.
    Beatrice Dupont Head of Housekeeping · Luxury serviced apartments
  • Table presentation is everything in Mayfair. They handle our heavy cotton damask tablecloths and chef whites with real precision — stains vanish and the starch finish is always spot on. The daily collection has never let us down.

About Summerstown

Summerstown — what the round has to work around

A dynamic and historic industrial pocket revitalized into a modern residential neighbourhood near the Wandle. Unique to Summerstown.

Summerstown is collected 7 days on a shared round, so a single studio here costs a stop rather than a journey.

Gym & spa towels in Summerstown — what operators ask

Do you collect in Summerstown?

Yes — Summerstown sits on the SW17 round, 7 days, 10.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

  • Shared with Wimbledon Park, Colliers Wood and Tooting — the same vehicle covers them, so a club here can be added without moving anyone else.
  • The driver knows the streets around Tooting Broadway, Colliers Wood and South Wimbledon — which matters when the drop has to land before the evening rush.
  • A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.
  • 18 clubs and spas around SW17 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit an evening peak rather than a hotel check-out.
Can you handle a spa as well as a gym floor?

Yes, and they are genuinely different jobs on the same account. A gym floor wants volume and absorbency; a spa wants handle and appearance.

  • Robes are laundered to keep their handle — a robe that feels like a gym towel has been washed like one.
  • Bath mats run on a heavier classification — and they are counted separately for the same reason.
  • One collection, one invoice — even where the two sides of the building want different specs.
  • Hotel spas are a normal account — the bed linen side can go on the same round.
Is there a minimum term?

No long-term tie-in and no exit fee. The account should hold because it works, not because leaving is expensive.

  • Terms flex with seasonal demand — you are not held to a peak figure through a quiet quarter.
  • Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — we will count your peak while you are still under someone else.
  • Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — the two overlap by design.
  • 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.
Our towels smell after a few hours — why?

It is oil left in the fibre, not the towel being old. Cold it is fine; warm and damp it is not, and that is after it has reached a member.

  • Gym towelling runs on its own classification — not as the tail end of a bed linen load.
  • Oil needs a different temperature from sweat — and softener makes it worse by coating the fibre, which is why we do not use it on gym stock.
  • Towels that stop absorbing are usually over-softened, not worn out — which means you are replacing stock that had life left in it.
  • Every load is temperature logged — and the log sits against your account, not a general plant figure.
Members take towels — how is that counted?

Towels walk. The question is whether the account expects it.

  • Expected loss is built into the par count at setup — rather than discovered in month three.
  • You get the actual numbers each cycle — rather than a running balance nobody can reconcile.
  • A sudden jump in loss is worth knowing about — and we would rather flag it than absorb it quietly.
  • On hire, fair wear is our cost — you pay for the service, not for towels reaching the end of their life.
What would a Summerstown club cost to supply?

Priced on your peak and your member numbers, not off a rate card. Towel volume depends on member numbers and how hard the floor turns over, so a published list would be wrong for most clubs.

  • We count a real week in Summerstown before quoting — the invoice records what you were sold, not what you used.
  • The count includes January — which is the one spike everybody knows is coming and most quotes ignore.
  • No minimum order — a small Summerstown studio pays the same per towel as a club ten times the size.
  • The count and the quote cost nothing — including while you are still under contract elsewhere.
What stops us running short in the evening?

The par count is set on your busiest two hours, not on an average day. A Summerstown floor gets through more between five and seven than across the rest of the day combined.

  • We count on site at the time it matters — the invoice records what you were sold, not what the rack needed.
  • A Monday evening and a Sunday morning are different businesses — and a single number that averages them fails on the busier one.
  • January is planned in — a Summerstown club in January is not the same club in August, and the account should say so.
  • If you run short twice, the count is wrong — we reset it against real usage rather than the opening estimate.
Do Summerstown clubs have to buy their own towels?

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

  • Hire — stock, replacement and shrinkage planning are ours; you never reorder.
  • Wash-only — the same towels that left Summerstown, never swapped into general stock.
  • Most clubs split it — the logo matters on a robe, rarely on a sweat towel.
  • You can move a line between the two later — clubs often start on hire and move the spa side across once branding is settled.

The greenest wash is the one Summerstown does not repeat

Most of the environmental cost of gym towelling is rewashing and replacing it. Getting the classification right the first time does more than any claim on a van.

  • The SW17 round is a shared journey rather than a separate trip to Summerstown.
  • Most towels retired early are over-softened rather than worn out.
  • Stock is graded and rotated instead of written off at the first mark.
  • Over four fifths of our central London vehicles are electric.
