Your Food Hygiene Rating Scheme score is public-facing and displayed at your door. A dirty extraction system is one of the fastest ways to trigger an EHO improvement notice, and without a BESCA VHR certificate, your insurer can reject a fire claim outright.
Why Restaurants Choose Hy5
We hold the accreditations your insurer and EHO expect to see. This is not just a general trade clean.
BESCA VHR: The Accreditation Insurers Require
BESCA VHR (Ventilation Hygiene Register) is the only accreditation recognised by UK commercial kitchen insurers as proof of compliant TR19 cleaning. Without it, your certificate may not be accepted when you need it most.
CHAS Elite: Fully Vetted Contractors
CHAS Elite is the highest level of contractor health and safety pre-qualification in the UK. It gives restaurant operators and pub groups confidence that every Hy5 technician meets the highest safety standards on site.
20 Years. 5,000+ Cleans. 100% Compliance.
With over 20 years serving food businesses across the Northwest, Hy5 has built its reputation on doing the job right and documenting it properly. Every client leaves with a certificate, not just a verbal assurance.
What Restaurant Operators Need from a Cleaning Contractor
Running a restaurant means juggling compliance, service, and staff, often with very little time for anything else. Your TR19 extraction clean and deep clean need to happen without disrupting service, and the documentation needs to be ready for your insurer or EHO at a moment's notice.
Many restaurant operators book a general cleaner and assume they're covered. They're not. Only a BESCA VHR accredited contractor can issue the TR19 certificate that UK insurers specifically require. A generic clean from an unaccredited contractor will not satisfy your insurer in the event of a claim.
We schedule around your trading hours (early morning, overnight, or on your closed day) and issue a full compliance certificate before we leave.
An Environmental Health Officer can arrive at any time. Having current TR19 documentation and a recent kitchen deep clean report on file demonstrates a proactive approach to food safety: exactly what EHOs want to see.

"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!"
