ALLABLE YARD

Drop it at work. Pick it up at work.

Allable Yard brings selected household services to a handover point at your workplace, so you do not have to make a separate trip.

You are reading the plan for a pre-pilot service. Yard is not open for bookings yet.

The idea

You already go to the same place most days. A provider can collect many orders from that one place in a single trip. That removes the journey that usually makes these services inconvenient.

INTRODUCING ALLABLE YARD

How it works

Your bag travels from your workplace to a provider and back to the same point.

A reusable bag. An agreed handover point. One consolidated route.

  4. 04

    A consolidated route

    Orders travel together to the service provider.

  5. 05

    Processing & quality check

    The supplier processes the items and checks the service.

  6. 06

    Return to your workplace

    Collect your bag on the confirmed return schedule.

Your collection and return times are confirmed for your site and order. Timings are pilot targets, not guarantees.

What you do

Pack your bag. Register what is in it. Drop it at the handover point on a collection day. Collect it later.

What happens to your bag

Your bag has a custody record at every handover. Your provider checks the work. Your bag returns to the same point.

What you can send

Laundry and ironing is where Yard starts. The services below are being prepared with providers and will open as each is ready.

Starting service

Laundry and ironing

Your everyday washing and ironing comes back folded or on hangers. You register your items before you hand over your bag.

Good to know: Check the accepted-items list before packing; delicate and specialist items may be declined at the handover point.

Turnaround: Same-day return is the target for your eligible orders on a collection day, within your provider's capacity.

Joining Yard

Carpet and rug cleaning

Your carpet or rug is collected from the workplace handover point. It goes to a provider for off-site deep cleaning.

Good to know: Size and weight limits apply. You arrange carpet collection separately, rather than using a standard collection day.

Turnaround: Several days. Never same-day.

Joining Yard

Sewing and alterations

You can request hems, repairs, replacement zips and buttons, or simple resizing. Your provider reviews the work before it starts.

Good to know: You agree measurements in advance. Your first order includes a short set of questions.

Turnaround: Depends on your work; quoted before the job starts.

Joining Yard

Shoe repair

You can request resoling, heel replacement, stitching and refinishing. Your provider checks your shoes before starting.

Good to know: Your provider confirms what is repairable. You approve the price before any work begins.

Turnaround: Several days.

Joining Yard

Shoe cleaning and care

Your shoes receive cleaning, conditioning or protective treatment. The treatment depends on their material.

Good to know: You declare the material at registration. Suede, leather and textile are treated differently.

Turnaround: Several days.

What it costs

You pay the service price. Your employer pays nothing for access. Pickup terms depend on the site and the provider agreement, and are confirmed before you book.

If something goes wrong

These are the handling arrangements being prepared for your pilot orders.

A missed collection
You are told and given a revised time.
An item your provider cannot treat
Your item comes back untreated and traceable.
A damaged or missing item
Your bag has a custody record at every handover and a documented claim process.
A late return
You are told before the deadline passes, not after.

Every handover is recorded. That is the point of the bag ID.

For employers

Your site needs an indoor handover point, agreed collection days, and an HR contact.
