Contract Linen Hire

Our commercial linen hire service is suitable for businesses that use linen regularly and want a reliable supply without the cost and responsibility of purchasing, laundering and replacing their own stock.

Our linen hire customers include hotels, restaurants, pubs, serviced accommodation providers, wedding and event venues, golf clubs, schools and colleges. As every business uses linen differently, we work with you to establish the right products, stock levels and collection frequency for your operation.

Yes. With our long-term commercial linen hire service, your stock is dedicated exclusively to your business and is never pooled or shared with other customers. Every item is individually labelled to identify it as part of your stock holding. When we collect your used linen, those same items are commercially laundered, quality checked and returned to you on your next scheduled delivery.

This means you receive your own linen back each time, giving you greater consistency and confidence in the stock you receive.

For a weekly collection and delivery service, a good starting point is around 2.5 times your average weekly linen usage. This allows enough stock for the laundry and delivery rotation, while providing some additional linen to cover busier periods.

For example, if you typically use 100 bath towels per week, a stock holding of around 250 bath towels would usually be appropriate. When setting up your service, we ask about your average weekly requirements as well as your peak and off-peak periods. We use this information to agree an appropriate dedicated stock holding, which is then held at your premises for your use.

We offer both weekly and twice-weekly collection and delivery services, depending on your location and the volume of linen your business uses. For many smaller hotels and accommodation businesses, one collection and delivery per week works well. We typically provide a dedicated stock holding of around 2.5 times your average weekly usage, allowing enough linen to cover the laundry and delivery rotation.

If you have around 30 or more room changes per week, a twice-weekly service may be more suitable. More frequent collections mean less linen needs to be held on site, so we typically provide around 1.5 times your average weekly usage for a twice-weekly service.

When setting up your linen hire, we will look at your expected usage and recommend the most appropriate delivery frequency and stock holding for your business.

We supply a wide range of commercial linen for hotels, restaurants, serviced accommodation, wedding and event venues, golf clubs and other hospitality businesses. Our range includes bed linen, towels, tablecloths, napkins, kitchen cloths and chefswear. Bed linen and towels are available in different qualities, while table linen and napkins are available in a variety of sizes and styles, with coloured napkins available alongside classic white, ivory and black table linen.

For long-term linen hire customers, we work with you to select the products and quantities appropriate for your business and create a dedicated, individually labelled stock holding for your use.

No. With our long-term commercial linen hire service, there is no need to place a new order each week. Your dedicated stock holding remains at your premises and is available for your business to use as required. At each scheduled delivery, we return the same items that were collected from you on the previous visit, freshly laundered, quality checked and ready to use.

This creates a straightforward ongoing rotation, with enough stock held on site to cover your agreed requirements, so your team doesn't need to calculate and submit a linen order before every delivery.

Our long-term commercial linen hire contracts start from £100 per week, including regular collection and delivery. The overall cost will depend on the type and quality of linen you choose, the quantities required and the service agreement that best suits your business. We work on set unit prices for each item, with longer-term agreements benefiting from lower unit rates.

As every business has different requirements, we provide a tailored quotation based on your expected usage rather than a standard package price.

We offer different long-term linen hire options depending on the size of your linen requirement and how your business operates. Our fixed-price linen hire agreement provides a consistent weekly cost based on your agreed stock and service requirements. For higher-volume customers, we can also offer a more flexible agreement where charges are based on the linen used, subject to an agreed minimum weekly charge. This can be particularly suitable for hotels and accommodation businesses with seasonal or changing levels of occupancy.

We will discuss your expected usage, seasonal patterns and collection requirements with you before recommending the most suitable option for your business.
