Swiftclean puts you in control of grease and legionella

By James Russell: Swiftclean puts you in control of grease and legionella

September 29, 2016

Swiftclean Building Services is a family run business which has been established for over 30 years.  Formed to provide specialist compliance cleaning services for ventilation system hygiene, Swiftclean is now one of the UK’s foremost providers of kitchen extract fire safety cleaning, legionella control services, fire damper testing, cleaning and maintenance and ventilation system cleaning.

The company’s highly skilled technicians help clients to comply with their legal obligations in protecting staff, residents and guests in the critical areas of kitchen, air and water hygiene, making hospitality establishments safer through its highly efficient, cost effective and customer focused services.

The company also provides full documentation of its services so that clients can demonstrate the measures that they have taken to comply with the law, should the worst happen.  This is critical in a context in which negligence, if proven, can lead to prosecution, stringent or limitless fines and even custodial sentences for responsible individuals.

Swiftclean’s meticulous documentation also helps to safeguard clients’ buildings insurance, as lack of evidence of compliance can compromise insurance policies and delay or prevent an insurance pay-out.

Swiftclean provides the following services:

  • Kitchen Extract Fire Safety Cleaning
  • Ventilation System Hygiene Cleaning
  • Ventilation System Hygiene Monitoring
  • Fire Damper Drop Testing
  • Grease Trap Service (FOG management)
  • Legionella Control Risk Assessment
  • L8 Compliance monitoring
  • L8 Compliance Water Tank Hygiene
  • L8 Compliance Water Tank Refurbishment
  • Local Exhaust Ventilation Testing

Swiftclean is focused on customer service and value for money, and will also give essential training in how to monitor compliance between service deliveries.  Swiftclean is expert at devising a highly cost-effective ongoing schedule that does not over-service any one area.  Instead, Swiftclean identifies economies of scale but also pinpoints areas which need less attention in order to keep costs for a first class service as low as possible.

Customers can view records of testing, cleaning and maintenance from their own computer via the company’s unique online 24 hour portal.

The company is driven by its culture of the pursuit of excellence, which is based on the three foundational themes of ‘Respect, Ownership and Honesty.’  Swiftclean invests generously in training and skills development and has more technicians trained through the Building and Engineering Services Association (BESA) Green Book scheme than any other UK company.

Co-founder & Managing Director Gary Nicholls

Swiftclean has earned a reputation for expertise and value for money and its knowledge is sought by the industry as a whole.  Co-founder and Managing Director Gary Nicholls was a co-author of TR/19, recognised as the leading industry guidance document for ventilation hygiene and issued by BESA. He was also a member of the steering committee for the BSRIA BG49/2013 Air Commissioning Guide. Swiftclean’s Group Service Delivery Director, Julia Argles, is also a member of the Executive Committee of the BESA Service and Facilities Group, and a member of the committee which supports the BESA Safety Focus initiative.
