Kitchen Linen In West Drayton On The Kitchen Round

Yes — West Drayton sits on the UB7 round, 7 days, 8.7 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Yiewsley, Cowley and Iver — the same vehicle covers them, so a brigade here can be added without moving anyone else.
• The driver knows the service entrances around West Drayton — which matters when the drop has to miss prep by half an hour.
• A missed window here is picked up on the next round rather than the next week, because West Drayton is only 8.7 miles out.
• 42 kitchens around UB7 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

Yes — the UB7 round is sequenced around service patterns.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — and a relief driver inherits it with the route.
• Timed around West Drayton 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 — holidays and sickness are the usual cause of a missed slot elsewhere; here the slot travels with the round sheet.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — West Drayton in August and West Drayton 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 — you are never between suppliers.
• If it is not working, say so — the fix is usually a number on the sheet rather than a new contract.

Both, and mixed accounts are normal. One collection covers whichever way each line is set up.

• Hire — stock, replacement and sizing are ours; you never place an order.
• Wash-only — your own embroidered jackets come back to you, the same garments, named, not pooled.
• Plenty of kitchens do both — the embroidery matters on the jacket, rarely on the oven cloth.
• You can move a line between the two later — it is a change to the sheet, not a new agreement.

Separately, and at its own temperature.

• Grease, protein and scorch need their own wash — and their own temperature.
• Whites never run through the cycle the table linen was on — which is the usual reason jackets go grey.
• 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.

It is quoted, not tariffed. Two kitchens with the same headcount can differ twofold in wear rate, which is why we count first.

• We count a real week in West Drayton before quoting — the invoice tells us what you were sold, not what you used.
• No minimum order — size barely moves the per-garment price.
• The count includes your busy season — peak weeks are the ones the par count has to survive.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — we will count your week while you are still under someone else.

Yes. Contract catering, schools and care homes are all on the rounds.

• 14 school kitchens around UB7 are already on the round — we are not learning catering work on your account.
• 1 care home kitchens nearby — with the same named-garment handling.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — which is what an inspection actually looks for.
• Contract caterers running several sites — are handled as one account across Hillingdon, not as separate customers.

We size the brigade before quoting, not after the first complaint.

• Every section is sized at setup — larder and pastry do not wear through jackets at the same rate, and the count reflects that.
• A new commis goes on the account the same week — rather than waiting for an order cycle.
• Garments are named — which takes the sorting job off the pass entirely.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real West Drayton month rather than a first guess.
