Commercial Kitchen Cleaning for Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities

BESCA VHR accredited, DBS checked TR19 extraction cleaning for hospital kitchens, patient catering facilities, and healthcare sites across the Northwest. NHS procurement compliant: full documentation on every visit.

A kitchen fire in a hospital carries consequences that go far beyond the building. Correct TR19 documentation is not optional for NHS sites

Hospital kitchens operate under the same TR19 legal framework as any commercial kitchen. A grease fire in a patient catering facility would be catastrophic, and without a valid BESCA VHR certificate, your insurer can decline the claim while the NHS Trust faces enforcement action under fire safety law.

Why Hospitals & Healthcare Sites Choose Hy5

We hold every accreditation NHS procurement requires, and our technicians are DBS checked as standard.

CHAS Elite

CHAS Elite: The Standard NHS Procurement Requires

NHS procurement frameworks require contractors to hold rigorous health and safety accreditation. CHAS Elite is the highest tier available and the standard most NHS Trust and healthcare estate teams specifically require.

DBS Checked Technicians for Clinical Environments

All Hy5 technicians working on hospital sites hold current DBS certificates. We provide copies to your estates or infection control team before any visit as standard practice.

BESCA VHR

BESCA VHR: Valid TR19 Documentation for NHS Audits

Our TR19 compliance certificates are issued to the standard accepted by NHS insurers, fire authorities, and CQC inspection teams. Every document is dated, signed, and ready for your compliance audit promptly after the clean.

What's Different About Hospital Kitchen Compliance

Hospital kitchens present some of the most demanding compliance requirements in the commercial catering sector. Patient catering facilities often operate across multiple floors and wings, with separate preparation areas, ward kitchens, and staff canteens, each potentially having its own extraction system requiring its own TR19 certificate on its own schedule.

NHS procurement rules require contractor accreditation at a level that most general cleaning companies simply don't hold. CQC inspection criteria include food safety infrastructure, and a poorly documented extraction cleaning programme can contribute to a failing outcome.

We provide full site surveys across all kitchen areas, set the correct TR19 cleaning frequencies for each, and deliver a programme that meets NHS Trust standards for documentation.

Infection control and COSHH compliance

All chemicals used by Hy5 technicians in healthcare settings are COSHH-compliant and selected specifically for use in clinical and food preparation environments. Method statements and COSHH data sheets provided on request.

"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!"
