Cumbria ChamberA failing kitchen hygiene score can contribute to a poor CQC rating, one that puts your registration at risk
CQC inspections cover food safety management and kitchen hygiene. The absence of current TR19 documentation or evidence of poor kitchen maintenance can feed directly into a failing outcome, with consequences that go well beyond the cleaning contract.
Why Care Homes Choose Hy5
We hold the specific accreditations care home procurement and compliance teams need, and our technicians are DBS checked before every site visit.
CHAS Elite: The Highest Safety Standard
CHAS Elite is the highest level of contractor health and safety pre-qualification available in the UK. It is the standard required by many care group procurement frameworks and gives you confidence that our safety management systems exceed baseline requirements.
DBS Checked Technicians
All Hy5 technicians working in care settings hold current DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) certificates. We can provide copies to your home manager or compliance lead in advance of any visit, with no last-minute surprises.
BESCA VHR: CQC-Ready TR19 Documentation
Our TR19 compliance reports and certificates are issued to the standard expected by insurers, fire officers, and CQC inspectors. Every document is dated, signed, and filed for your compliance records promptly after the clean.
What's Different About Cleaning in Care Settings
Care homes and nursing homes serve the most vulnerable members of our communities. The Food Standards Agency, local EHOs, and the CQC all apply scrutiny to kitchen hygiene, food safety management, and contractor compliance records. A poor outcome in any of these areas can have serious consequences for your registration.
Beyond compliance, residents are in the building around the clock. Cleaning must be carried out with minimal disruption. Early morning before breakfast service is the typical approach, with all chemicals selected to be COSHH-compliant and safe in care environments.
We provide complete documentation on every visit, including TR19 certificates, deep clean sign-off reports, and photographic evidence, formatted for your compliance file and ready for CQC review.
We don't send paperwork later. Every TR19 certificate, grease deposit report, and deep clean sign-off is completed and handed over on the day, so your compliance file is current before we've packed the van.

What Our Clients Say
Trusted by care facilities, schools, and food businesses across Cumbria and the Northwest.
"Great guys to work with. Does our 5 sites across the north west and have no complaints!"
"I can actually hear the kitchen extract system working and the extract above the dishwash nearly pulled the sheet of blue roll out my hand when I was showing the management team how effective the clean was! The lads grafted the entire time, and the job has made a huge difference to the guys working in the kitchen. I am over the moon with the results!"
"We were truly delighted with the deep clean undertaken by Hy5 Commercial Cleaning. The team were very professional and provided an excellent service."
