Pest Control, PAT Testing & Confidential Shredding for Food & Hospitality Across South, West & Mid Wales
Restaurants, cafés, takeaways, pubs, hotels and food-production sites are held to strict hygiene standards, and a single pest sighting in front of a customer can undo a lot of hard-won reputation. On top of that, a busy kitchen is packed with electrical equipment that has to be kept safe, and a hotel or established restaurant builds up its share of confidential paperwork too. PreventaPest covers all three for the food and hospitality trade across South, West and Mid Wales, discreetly, and with the records to back it up.
Pest control for food and hospitality
In a food business, pests are a hygiene risk, a compliance problem and a threat to your reputation all at once. We deal with rats and mice, cockroaches, flies, ants and stored-product insects, working discreetly in unmarked vehicles and around your service times. As well as emergency callouts when something flares up, we set up routine monitoring and prevention contracts, fit fly-control units, proof the building to keep pests out, and carry out hygiene and risk assessments, all in line with food hygiene regulations, with detailed reporting ready for your EHO inspections. Our full pest control service has more.
PAT Testing for Restaurants, Cafés, Pubs and Hotels
Commercial kitchens and hospitality venues use electrical equipment in busy conditions, where leads, plugs and casings can be exposed to cleaning, heat, grease and frequent movement. Our PAT testing service covers appropriate inspection and testing of the equipment agreed for your site.
When requesting a quote, include plug-in coffee machines, microwaves, toasters, tills and card-machine power supplies, as well as hotel-room kettles and hairdryers. Tell us about larger kitchen appliances and how they are connected so we can confirm the scope before the visit. Appliance checks and testing of the building’s fixed electrical installation are separate work.
Plan Testing Around Food Preparation and Service
Let us know your preparation times, service periods and any equipment that cannot be switched off without advance planning. Refrigeration, booking systems and payment equipment need an agreed interruption, so nominate someone who can authorise access and shutdowns. Provide an approximate item count and include staff areas, stores and guest rooms when preparing the list.
Keep the completed results with your equipment records and record any repairs or replacement of failed items. For seasonal planning, see our guide to PAT testing for pubs and hotels before the festive season.
Confidential shredding when you need it
Food and hospitality businesses handle confidential information too, booking and customer records, card and payment paperwork, and staff HR files, with hotels holding more guest data than most. When it's time to clear it out, our confidential shredding service destroys it securely and issues a Certificate of Destruction, keeping you right with the Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR.
One local supplier for all three
Using a single local company for pest control, PAT testing and shredding means one point of contact, one set of trusted people on your premises, and joined-up paperwork when an inspector or an EHO wants to see it. We're local to South, West and Mid Wales, so we're never far away when you need us, and keeping your business compliant, safe and pest-free is one less thing for you to chase.
