Kitchen Linen In Thames Ditton On The Kitchen Round

Yes — Thames Ditton sits on the KT7 round, 7 days, 11.8 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with East Molesey, Hinchley Wood and Molesey — adding you changes the schedule, not the route.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Thames Ditton and Hampton Court — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your back door.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, which is what 11.8 miles buys you.
• 67 kitchens around KT7 are already on this round — we are not learning the area on your account.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — Thames Ditton in August and Thames Ditton 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 — the two overlap by design.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

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

• Hire — we own the garments, replace them on wear and manage sizing as the brigade changes.
• Wash-only — the same whites that left Thames Ditton, tracked by name, never swapped into a pool.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — hired cloths and aprons, own-branded jackets on wash-only.
• You can move a line between the two later — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.

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 — that transfer is what dulls a brigade's whites inside a month.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — through the whole process.
• Every load is temperature logged — so there is a record behind the classification rather than an assurance.

There is no honest price list for kitchen work. Kitchen work is priced on the brigade and the covers, so a published list would be a guess.

• We count a real week in Thames Ditton before quoting — rather than pricing off your last invoice.
• No minimum order — a two-section Thames Ditton kitchen is priced per item, same as a brigade of thirty.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — and commit you to nothing.

Yes — catering kitchens are a large part of what we collect.

• 9 school kitchens around KT7 are already on the round — the classification and the paperwork already suit that kind of site.
• 3 care home kitchens nearby — with the same named-garment handling.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Elmbridge, not as separate customers.

In person, section by section — not off a headcount.

• Every section is sized at setup — not estimated from a headcount.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — brigades in Thames Ditton change constantly, and the account is built for that.
• Garments are named — the rail is ready and nobody is hunting for their size.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — against what the brigade actually used, because any opening count is an estimate.

That is the point of putting Thames Ditton on the KT7 round rather than a separate trip.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — it goes on the round sheet, not into a delivery window.
• Timed around Thames Ditton and the traffic that comes with it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• A relief driver inherits the window with the route — the timing is a property of the account, not of one driver remembering it.
