Commercial Kitchen Cleaning for Corporate & Workplace Catering

TR19 extraction cleaning for corporate canteens, staff restaurants, and workplace dining facilities across Cumbria and the Northwest. Daytime-only operations managed around your working day: certificate issued promptly.

Corporate canteens and staff restaurants are subject to the same TR19 fire safety law as any commercial kitchen, and H&S audits increasingly ask for the certificate

Many corporate facilities managers assume that a staff canteen serving a limited lunchtime menu falls below the TR19 threshold. It doesn't. Any commercial kitchen, regardless of scale, is subject to the same fire safety legislation. Increasingly, corporate H&S audits and insurance reviews specifically request TR19 documentation.

The Accreditation Your H&S Audit Will Ask For

CHAS Elite

CHAS Elite: Approved for Corporate Contractor Frameworks

Most large corporate buildings require contractors to hold CHAS Elite or SafeContractor accreditation before approval. We hold both, so getting onto your approved contractor list is straightforward.

Minimal Disruption to the Working Day

Corporate canteens typically operate during working hours only. We schedule TR19 cleans early morning or at weekends so there's zero impact on your staff or catering service.

What Makes Corporate Catering Compliance Different

Corporate and workplace catering typically involves lower-use kitchens than restaurants or hotels. A staff canteen serving a lunchtime rush five days a week generally qualifies for annual TR19 cleaning. However, this doesn't mean the obligation is any less real.

Fire safety law applies equally, and in the corporate environment there's an additional layer of accountability. Facilities managers are responsible for demonstrating compliance to their own H&S teams, to building insurers, and increasingly to sustainability and ESG reporting frameworks.

The documentation we provide is formatted to be filed directly into your facilities management system and is ready for H&S audits promptly after the clean.

Supporting your facilities management programme

We can align TR19 cleaning with your broader planned maintenance programme: single invoice, consistent scheduling, documentation delivered to your FM system. One less thing on the compliance checklist.

"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!"

Frequently Asked Questions: Corporate & Workplace Catering

Does a small staff canteen really need TR19 certification?
Yes. All commercial kitchens are subject to TR19 fire safety requirements, regardless of size or scale. A staff canteen serving 50 people at lunchtime carries the same legal obligation as a large restaurant kitchen. The frequency may be lower (annual is standard for most workplace kitchens), but the requirement is the same.
How often does a corporate canteen need TR19 cleaning?
Most workplace canteens operating Monday to Friday lunchtime qualify for annual TR19 cleaning. Higher-volume operations serving multiple meal periods or extended hours may require 6-monthly cleaning. We confirm the correct frequency at the site visit and document our recommendation in writing.
Can you work outside office hours?
Yes. Early morning and weekend slots are standard for our corporate clients. We work around your building's access arrangements and catering schedule so there is no impact on staff or the daily operation.
Do you meet our building's contractor approval requirements?
We hold CHAS Elite and SafeContractor accreditations, which meet the pre-qualification requirements of most corporate and facilities management contractor approval frameworks. We can provide documentation to your procurement or building management team before work commences.
What areas do you cover?
Based in Ulverston, we cover the whole of Cumbria, Lancashire, and the wider Northwest. Call us on 01229 588556 to confirm we cover your location.
