Cumbria ChamberA grease-laden extraction system puts your insurance and your premises licence at risk simultaneously
Fire safety law and licensing law both require you to maintain safe premises. A non-compliant extraction system can void your insurance policy and give a licensing authority grounds to review your licence: two problems from the same missed clean.
Why Pubs & Bars Choose Hy5
The accreditations pub operators, pub companies, and licensing authorities expect to see.
BESCA VHR: Insurance-Grade TR19 Certification
BESCA VHR membership is the standard referenced by commercial kitchen insurers when assessing TR19 compliance. Our certificate is the document your insurer requires. A clean from an unaccredited contractor will not substitute it.
CHAS Elite: Meets Managed Pub Estate Requirements
Many managed pub companies and pub groups require contractors to hold CHAS Elite or equivalent accreditation before approving them for site work. Hy5 holds CHAS Elite, the highest tier available.
20 Years. 5,000+ Cleans. 100% Compliance.
We've been cleaning pub and bar kitchens across Cumbria for over 20 years. Every job is documented, certified, and ready to present to a fire officer, EHO, or your pub company on request.
What Makes Pub Kitchen Compliance Different
Pub kitchens vary enormously, from a simple fryer and grill behind the bar to a full restaurant operation serving hundreds of covers. What they share is the same legal obligation: extraction systems must be cleaned to TR19 standard, documented, and certified by a BESCA VHR accredited contractor.
For managed pub estates, compliance is often monitored by the pub company itself. Failure to produce a current TR19 certificate can trigger a breach of your lease or management agreement, not just an insurance issue.
We schedule around your trading hours. For most pubs, an early morning start on a Monday or after last orders works well. Our technicians are experienced, fast, and leave the kitchen ready for service.
Many pubs with kitchens also have grease traps. A blocked or overflowing grease trap can trigger a drainage compliance issue and odour complaints. We offer combined extraction and grease trap visits to keep both covered in a single appointment.

What Our Clients Say
Trusted by pubs, restaurants, and hospitality businesses across Cumbria and the Northwest.
"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!"
