Cumbria ChamberCatering companies hold TR19 compliance responsibility for the kitchens they operate, even if they don't own the building
If you operate a commercial kitchen on a client's site and that extraction system catches fire, the compliance responsibility falls on the kitchen operator, not the building owner. A non-BESCA certificate, or no certificate at all, can void the client's insurance and expose your company to significant liability. Your clients' contract renewals may also require you to demonstrate current compliance documentation.
Why Catering Companies Choose Hy5
We hold the accreditations your clients expect and the capacity to manage all your sites under a single programme.
Certificates That Hold Up Under Client Audit
When your clients ask to see your TR19 documentation, our BESCA VHR certificates are exactly what they're looking for. They're issued to the standard recognised by UK commercial kitchen insurers and accepted by facility management teams.
CHAS Elite: Approved Across Most Client Frameworks
Contract caterers are often working in client buildings with their own approved contractor requirements. Our CHAS Elite and SafeContractor accreditations meet the pre-qualification standards of most facilities management and corporate procurement frameworks.
Single Programme, Multiple Sites
We manage TR19 compliance across all your client sites on a single rolling programme. One schedule, one invoice, complete documentation: exactly what you need for your annual contract renewals.
What Makes Compliance Different for Contract Caterers
Contract catering companies operate in a uniquely complex position when it comes to TR19 compliance. You're responsible for maintaining a kitchen that you don't own, in a building managed by your client, subject to compliance requirements set by the building owner, your client's facilities team, and the law.
Your TR19 documentation needs to satisfy multiple audiences: your own quality management system, the client's facilities manager, the building's insurer, and a fire officer if they visit. Managing this across multiple client sites with different cooking types, different operating hours, and therefore different required cleaning frequencies demands a single, coordinated contractor who understands the B2B compliance context.
We issue documentation formatted to meet your clients' audit expectations and manage all your site programmes under a single account.
Many catering contracts now include explicit TR19 compliance requirements at renewal. Current BESCA VHR certificates for all your sites are increasingly a contractual requirement, not just best practice.

Trusted by restaurants, hotels, and food businesses across Cumbria and the Northwest.
"We were truly delighted with the deep clean undertaken by Hy5 Commercial Cleaning. The team were very professional and provided an excellent service."
"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!"
