Kitchen Linen In West Kensington Back Before Prep

Yes — West Kensington sits on the W14 round, 7 days, 5.9 miles from our Wembley plant.

• Shared with Barons Court, Earls Court and Brook Green — one van, one run, which is what keeps a small kitchen sensible to price.
• The driver knows the service entrances around Barons Court, Fulham Broadway and West Kensington — the same crew runs it weekly, so nobody is looking for your back door.
• A missed morning window here is recoverable the same day, which is what 5.9 miles buys you.
• 387 kitchens around W14 are already on this round — which is why the timings suit prep and service rather than check-out.

Yes, and they are not an afterthought on a restaurant round.

• 27 school kitchens around W14 are already on the round — so term-time volume changes are planned rather than improvised.
• 3 care home kitchens nearby — sites that need an audit trail get colour-coded cloths and named whites as standard.
• Colour-coded cloths and named whites — suit sites that need an audit trail.
• Contract caterers running several sites — keep one invoice and one point of contact however many kitchens are on it.

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 — so nobody is sorting a mixed box at the start of a shift.
• Par counts are re-set after the first month — once we have seen a real West Kensington month rather than a first guess.

Outside both, because prep is the window most suppliers hit.

• The time is agreed when the account opens — against your service pattern, not ours.
• Timed around Barons Court so the van is not arriving into the worst of it.
• If a drop is missed, a missed morning window here is recoverable the same day.
• A relief driver inherits the window with the route — the timing is a property of the account, not of one driver remembering it.

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

• Terms flex with seasonal demand — rather than locking you into a summer volume you do not use in February.
• Nothing needs you to be out of your current contract first — the count and the quote commit you to nothing.
• Stock arrives before the old supplier is stood down — so no West Kensington section starts a shift without whites.
• If it is not working, say so — we would rather correct the account than lose it.

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 — garment for garment, never substituted.
• 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 — kitchens often start on hire and move their jackets across once the branding is settled.

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 — that transfer is what dulls a brigade's whites inside a month.
• Colour-coded cloths stay in their own classification — from collection to the rail, so the coding still means something when it comes back.
• 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. The number depends on sections and turnover, not on floor area.

• We count a real week in West Kensington before quoting — including the summer weeks, which is where most estimates fall over.
• No minimum order — so a small kitchen is a normal account.
• The count includes your busy season — which is where most estimates fall over; a figure taken in February will not survive August.
• The count and the quote cost nothing — and commit you to nothing.
