Hospitality Linen In Thamesmead East Collected On Round

Yes — Thamesmead East sits on the SE2 round, 18.2 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Thamesmead, Abbey Wood and Belvedere — one van, one run, which is what keeps the cost of a small account sensible.
• The driver knows the roads around Abbey Wood and Eddie's Rest — which sounds trivial until a supplier who does not misses a morning.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because of that distance.

Settled at the audit, written onto the SE2 round sheet, and not revisited on the day.

• Loading bay, service lift or back entrance — recorded against the account so a relief driver has it too.
• Timed around Abbey Wood 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 18.2 miles affordable for a property of any size.
• It is recorded against the account, not a person — the arrangement survives a change of driver, which is when most suppliers slip.

At our own plant in Wembley, 18.2 miles from Thamesmead East. Nothing is subcontracted to a third site.

• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.
• One process, one audit — traceability only works when there is one chain to trace.
• You can visit. It is an hour out of your day and it answers most of the questions on this page.
• The chain is short on purpose — we own the plant, so a complaint has one address rather than two.

Both are available, and moving between them does not mean a new account.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, including the spares you would otherwise be storing.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, processed to the same spec.
• Mixed is common — most properties end up somewhere between the two.
• Hire covers replacement — you stop budgeting for replacement stock, because replacement is the point of hire.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day. The nearest hotels we already collect from are the 1 in Belvedere, 1.3 miles away, on the same run.

• No tender and no tie-in — thirty days notice, no exit fee.
• Par levels set per room type, and revisited once we have seen a full month of real usage.
• The audit is free and carries no obligation.
• Your notice period is our problem, not yours — the count happens whenever suits; the round starts when you are free.

A standing slot, 7 days — the same time each week, which is the point.

• Same driver each week — familiar faces make short conversations, and short conversations keep the round on time.
• Planned around check-out, so linen leaves as rooms are stripped.
• Changeable — seasons shift, occupancy shifts, the slot can shift with them.
• Recovery is same-day, not next-round — A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week.

Yes — most of our multi-site work is in Bexley, and it is where the savings actually are.

• One account manager across every Bexley site.
• One invoice, consolidated but itemised — one payment, full visibility.
• Par stock tracked per site — the usual multi-property problem is linen drifting between buildings and being paid for twice.
• One invoice, itemised by property — so nobody reconciles it by hand at the end of the month.

No minimum. The van is in SE2 regardless — you are not the reason for the journey.

• Same turnaround regardless of size — the process does not know how many rooms you have.
• No small-volume premium, because you are not the reason the van is on the road.
• Seasonal properties welcome — we would rather hold the slot than lose the relationship.
• No exit fee either — if it is not working, you say so and we collect our stock. A contract you cannot leave is a contract we would rather not have.
