Commercial Dishwasher & Glasswasher Servicing in Bristol
Planned servicing helps keep your warewash machines reliable, efficient and hygienic, and can reduce the risk of a breakdown in the middle of service. I service commercial dishwashers, glasswashers and utensil washers across Bristol and the surrounding areas.

What's included
What a service covers
- TemperaturesWash tank and final rinse temperatures checked against the manufacturer’s figures, so the machine is cleaning and sanitising as it should.
- Wash & rinse systemArms, jets and filters cleaned and inspected; wash and rinse pumps checked for noise, wear and performance.
- Heating & fillingElements, thermostats and fill solenoid valves tested, with scale build-up noted.
- Seals & hosesDoor and hood seals, hoses and fittings checked for wear and leaks before they become a problem.
- Chemical dosingDetergent and rinse aid dosing checked and adjusted, and dosing tubes inspected.
- Electrical checksWiring, connections, contactors and controls inspected. I’m an electrical engineer first, so this gets proper attention.
Why service
What servicing saves you
A worn seal or a scaled element found during a planned visit is a straightforward job. The same part failing on a Saturday night means a breakdown, an out-of-hours rate and a kitchen washing up by hand.
After each service you’ll know what I found, what I did and anything that needs attention soon, with parts quoted and agreed before fitting.
I can recommend a schedule that suits your machine and how hard it works.

FAQ
Questions customers ask
How often should a commercial dishwasher or glasswasher be serviced?
It depends on how hard the machine works. Every six months suits most busy sites; lighter-use machines may need only an annual service. I’ll suggest a schedule once I’ve seen the machine.
Can you service several machines on one visit?
Yes. Visits are charged by time: the visit price includes the first hour, then 30-minute blocks after that, so servicing several machines together is usually the sensible way to do it.
What can my staff do between services?
Empty and clean the filters at the end of each day, check the wash and rinse arms aren’t blocked, keep the softener topped up with salt, and leave the door or hood open overnight to let the machine dry out.
How much does a service cost?
Servicing is charged at the visit rates below. A standard visit (Monday to Friday, until 6pm) is £100 including the first hour of labour, then £25 per 30 minutes, with no VAT to add.
Will you tell me if something needs replacing?
Yes. I’ll explain what I’ve found and why it matters, and any parts are quoted and agreed with you before anything is fitted.
