Electrical, fire & safety compliance for cafes & restaurants
A busy kitchen is hard on equipment and high on fire risk. EFS keeps your appliances, wiring, extraction and fire cover tested and certified - so you pass inspection, keep your insurance valid, and keep serving.
The compliance picture
What a cafe or restaurant has to stay on top of
Hospitality is one of the higher-risk trades for both electrical faults and fire. Heat, grease, water and non-stop appliance use take a toll, and food-safety and fire inspections expect your equipment to be tested and your escape routes protected. Getting it wrong can close you down.
- Fridges, ovens, coffee machines and every plug-in appliance need PAT testing
- Grease and heat make kitchens a genuine fire-risk area needing serviced cover
- Emergency lighting and clear escape routes are essential with the public in
- Insurers and environmental-health checks expect current certificates

Why EFS
One plan, and the compliance runs itself

- Work booked between services, not in the middle of a rush
- Certificates on file the moment environmental health or your insurer asks
Frequently asked questions
