The SW17 problem

Summerstown service starts before the doors do

Most kitchens in Summerstown do not change supplier because of price. They change because of a Friday that went wrong.

  • Late drops before a full book

    One delay around Tooting Broadway and the pass is stacked with kitchen cloths nobody can replace.

  • Linen the customer notices

    A creased cloth is a two-second judgement made before anyone has read the menu.

  • Running out on a Friday

    Covers here swing hard between midweek and weekend, and a flat par level fails at the worst possible moment.

How it works

Summerstown kitchens, from count to round, in four moves

Most of the work happens before the first collection, and most of it is ours.

Serving SW17 Since 2009
  1. Covers, not guesswork

    We measure usage rather than ask for it. What a turn costs in cloths is rarely the number on the last supplier's sheet.

    Before anything changes

  2. Stock set to your week

    Par is set to your busiest day, not your average one, so a full Saturday does not empty the cupboard by Sunday lunch.

    Adjusted, not renegotiated

  3. Your place on the round

    7 days, at a time agreed with you — a standing slot rather than a window assigned each morning.

    Outside service hours

  4. Pressed, sorted, counted

    Everything arrives ready to use: linen pressed and counted, whites hung, cloths separated. No unpacking job at the start of a shift.

    Every load logged

Running more than one site in Merton? The same account manager covers all of them, on one invoice and one collection round.

How it is processed

Summerstown cloths are washed where we say they are

There is one building between your linen and ours: a plant in Wembley, 10.1 miles from Summerstown, that we own and run.

It is also why a chef jacket and a tablecloth get different treatment here — a subcontractor washes to their schedule, not your soil.

Leaving your supplier should not cost Summerstown a cover

Most Summerstown operators stay with a supplier they have stopped rating, because changing one feels like risking a service. It is the objection we hear most, so here is exactly how it runs.

  1. First, the count

    Your stock gets counted, not estimated

    An hour in Summerstown: what goes out on a Saturday, what is still in the wash, what is past saving. You keep every item you own — nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look neater.

  2. The changeover

    You carry too much linen for a week, on purpose

    Your current supplier finishes their cycle while the SW17 round starts delivering. For that week you are holding more than you need, which is the point — there is no service you lay up short for.

  3. Week three

    One round, one contact

    Collections settle into a standing slot, processed at our own plant rather than passed on. Wimbledon Park and Colliers Wood are already collected on the same run, so this is an existing journey rather than a new one.

No exit fee, no buy-back, no minimum term to escape from. If your notice runs to March, we start in March.

    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.

  • 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
  • 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.
    Mateo Rossi Restaurant General Manager · Fine dining restaurant
  • 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 busy dining room alongside eight letting rooms needs a versatile laundry partner. Kitchen aprons, table runners and bed sheets all go in one collection, and the seven-day pickup schedule flexes around us.
    Liam Gallagher Operations & Pub Manager · Gastro pub with rooms
  • 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.

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 24-cover room is priced on what it uses rather than on the journey.

Asked by Summerstown kitchens

Is Summerstown on one of your rounds?

131 restaurants in Summerstown sit inside the area we already collect from, 10.1 miles from our Wembley plant. Alongside them, 54 cafés and 21 pubs and bars are on the same run.

  • Shared with Wimbledon Park, Colliers Wood and Tooting — they sit on the same run, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles — and that is what keeps a small account viable here.
  • 7 days collections, on a fixed day and time that does not drift week to week.
  • a 10.1-mile round trip means a problem is a second trip that day rather than a note on next week's sheet.
How do you deal with grease, wine and wax in Summerstown?

Four different problems, four different answers. Grease needs heat, wine needs speed, wax needs lifting cold — a supplier running everything on one cycle returns you the average of all three.

  • Items are sorted before washing, not after. Mixing table linen with kitchen cloths is the single fastest way to grey a white.
  • 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, not melted through the fabric by a hot cycle, which is what sets it permanently.
Can Summerstown chef jackets go with the tablecloths?

Front of house and back of house, one collection. Whites and cloths travel with the tablecloths, on one docket and one bill.

  • Whites come back on hangers, ready to hang up — which is the only state a chef jacket is useful in.
  • Cloths are bagged by type — glass, oven, waiter — so the right cloth is where it should be before service starts.
  • Sizes are held in stock, and a change of size is a phone call rather than a reorder.
We have two kitchens. Does that complicate it?

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

  • Each site keeps its own par level. The busy site gets the depth it needs without the quiet one paying for stock it never uses.
  • Consolidated billing that shows the total and the split, so nobody has to reconcile it by hand.
  • Adding a site later is a change to the drop list, not a new contract or a new supplier relationship.
Can you work around our service times in SW17?

Before the doors, not during them. The SW17 round is planned around service times, which is the difference between a supplier who works here and one who merely delivers here.

  • Access around Tooting Broadway 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 — the plant is 10.1 miles away, so the recovery is a second trip that day, not a note on next week's schedule.
Summerstown is quiet midweek and full at weekends — does that work?

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 Summerstown — covers midweek, covers at the weekend, and how many cloths a turn actually costs you rather than what the last supplier's sheet said.
  • Reviewed after a full month of live usage and adjusted, with no renegotiation and no change fee.
  • Seasonal swing is expected — SW17 trade moves across the year, and the par level should move with it rather than being agreed once and forgotten.
We own our linen — will you launder it in Summerstown?

Whichever suits the item. We hire and we wash-only, and the SW17 round does not care which is in the bag.

  • Owned stock stays yours. Nothing is bought back or written off to make a contract look tidier, and you keep every item you already paid for.
  • Hire covers replacement — wear, loss and staining are ours to carry rather than a line that appears on your invoice each quarter.
  • Most Summerstown accounts run both: hired table linen where volume is high, owned chef whites where the branding matters.
Is there a minimum order?

No minimum order. Summerstown 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 and are priced the same way: on usage, not on category.
  • No tie-in and no volume threshold — a slow month does not move you onto a worse rate.
  • 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.

Something we have missed?

Ask us directly

The greenest wash is the one Summerstown does not repeat

Most of the environmental cost of restaurant linen is rewashing and early replacement, not the wash itself — a cloth retired at the first oil mark has cost more than one washed twice. In Summerstown there is a second saving: the kitchens here sit close enough together that one round covers them, instead of separate journeys out from Wembley.

  • One SW17 round serves Summerstown, Wimbledon Park and Colliers Wood — 3 areas, one set of miles.
  • A 10.1-mile plant distance is the transport cost of every collection here — it is why routing matters more than detergent.
  • Closed-loop rinse water — the cheapest litre is the one used twice.
  • Oil and wine marks are re-treated before an item is retired. Most recover.
