Cumbria ChamberCQC inspections assess kitchen hygiene. In a hospice setting, a poor outcome has consequences that go far beyond the cleaning contract
The Care Quality Commission includes food safety, kitchen hygiene, and contractor compliance in every inspection. A contractor without the right accreditations, or kitchen documentation that doesn't meet CQC standards, can contribute to a failing outcome that affects your registration, your reputation, and the people in your care.
Why Hospices Choose Hy5
We hold the accreditations palliative care procurement teams require, and we understand the sensitivity that hospice environments demand.
CHAS Elite: The Highest Safety Standard
CHAS Elite is the highest level of contractor health and safety pre-qualification in the UK. It meets the requirements of NHS, hospice charity, and healthcare trust procurement frameworks: the accreditation your compliance team will ask for.
DBS Checked Technicians
All Hy5 technicians working in hospice settings hold current DBS certificates. We can provide copies to your safeguarding lead or site manager before any visit, with no exceptions and no last-minute surprises.
BESCA VHR: CQC-Ready TR19 Documentation
Our TR19 compliance certificates and post-clean reports are issued to the standard expected by CQC inspectors, insurers, and fire officers. Every document is dated, signed, and ready for your compliance file promptly after the clean.
What's Different About Cleaning in a Hospice
Hospices serve people at the most significant and sensitive time of their lives, and their families. The environment must be calm, respectful, and unhurried. This extends to every contractor who enters the building.
Our technicians understand the environment they're working in. Visits are planned for the quietest times, typically early morning before the day begins, or during periods agreed with your catering or facilities manager. We work quietly, efficiently, and without disruption.
On the compliance side, hospices typically procure through NHS or hospice charity frameworks that require contractor accreditation at the same level as hospital procurement. CHAS Elite and current DBS checks are standard requirements. We hold both and can provide all documentation in advance.
We provide risk assessments, method statements, insurance documents, CHAS Elite certificate, and DBS records in advance of every visit, so your compliance file and safeguarding team have everything they need before our technicians arrive.

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."
