How many stars have you got?

'Scores on the Doors' is here! The Food Standard Agency are currently testing a hygiene rating system for food premises in the UK. This will allow customers to get an idea about how well a food business did on its last inspection by clicking here.

We would be pleased to help your food business get that exclusive five star rating.
Please contact us.

We have a number of Level 2 food hygiene and also health and safety courses running throughout the year. These are generally based in Ashby, Coalville and Rotherham.

We are receiving an increase in bedbugs problems, due to people travelling more in their work and socially. Ring to discuss any problems you may have, remember this is not an indication of cleanliness of your home or personnel hygiene.

We're close to finishing our busiest time of the year, and we've been taken aback by the numbers of businesses talking about their 'Scores on the Doors' and how many stars they've got. Some Councils have been running a star rating system for a while now and it is starting to hit home to some businesses now how important their reputation is. This seems to become more of an issue when a local newspaper runs a Freedom of Information request form a Council to find the best and worst premises. I'll be doing a talk on the impact of the Scores on the Doors next month in Loughborough. In the mean time, if any business would like our help to get the best star rating then please ring me on 07976 366510.

For our business clients, Our pest control team was set up in response to our business clients wishes. They have been telling us they would prefer a ‘one stop shop’ for help in managing the environmental health aspects of their business. They want a pest management service that is carried out by professionals that understand the need to eradicate pests from their business.

The Directors at Machin & Toplass have many years enforcement experience of taking legal action to close large and small food businesses due to pest problems. All too often, we have seen good businesses paying for a service that has been poor, and has failed to deliver the peace of mind that the owners expect.

We now want to put our skills to good use and help business clients have the ultimate confidence in our pest management service. We offer for you:

Minimum of eight site visits per year

Specialist Field Biologist visits

Site plan showing all pest monitoring points & EFK's

Providing a due diligence defence with food legislation

Emergency callouts

Full Laboratory Service including pest identification

Qualified graduate biologist technical audits etc.

24 hour telephone service for advice and help

Fully insured service (£10 Million)

Fully trained technicians
