Hospitality Linen In Tilehurst Collected To Schedule

Yes — Tilehurst sits on the RG30 round, 33.1 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Calcot, Purley on Thames and Tidmarsh — one van, one run, which is what keeps the cost of a small account sensible.
• Collections here run to scheduled days, agreed when the account opens, because of that distance.

Whichever suits the property — and it can change as the property does.

• On hire we hold and replace the stock, so nothing is tied up in sheets.
• Wash-only keeps your linen yours, useful where the stock is branded or a particular weave.
• Mixed is common — there is no rule that says it has to be one or the other.
• Hire covers replacement — greying, fraying and losses are carried by us rather than appearing on your invoice each quarter, which is usually the larger number over a year.

A linen audit, an agreed par level, and a collection day. The nearest hotels we already collect from are the 1 in Calcot, 1.0 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, and revisited once we have seen a full month of real usage.
• The audit is free and you keep the numbers whether or not you use us.
• Your notice period is our problem, not yours — if you are tied in, we plan the start date around it. The audit and the plan cost you nothing either way.

A standing slot, 7 days — a time, not a window.

• Same driver each week — continuity matters more here than most suppliers admit.
• Planned around check-out, so linen leaves as rooms are stripped.
• Changeable — if the time stops suiting you we move it.
• A missed slot is not a lost week — 33.1 miles is close enough that the fix is hours away.

Yes. Separate accounts for sites on the same round is a billing habit, not a requirement.

• One account manager across every Reading site.
• One invoice, broken down per property so you can still see where it goes.
• Par stock tracked per site — the usual multi-property problem is linen drifting between buildings and being paid for twice.
• Finance sees one number, each site sees its own — so nobody reconciles it by hand at the end of the month.

No minimum. The van is in RG30 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 — no notice period dressed up as a minimum term.

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.
• Nine times in ten, a missed first collection is an access problem — not the laundry, not the van, the door.
• No delivery surcharge for the distance — the round already passes, so an extra stop costs us minutes rather than miles.
• Holiday cover does not reset the arrangement — the arrangement survives a change of driver, which is when most suppliers slip.

At our own plant in Wembley, 33.1 miles from Tilehurst. 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. It is an hour out of your day and it answers most of the questions on this page.
• Nothing is passed to a third party — we own the plant, so a complaint has one address rather than two.
