External fire doors on commercial premises have unique compliance rules, such is their importance in maintaining a building’s fire safety standards.
Here, we’re exploring both the obvious and the unforeseen challenges that can stem from outdated commercial kitchen equipment. We’ll look at the problems that can arise when your catering equipment begins to show signs of wear and tear, and examine why investing in new equipment is always the best option from a professional catering standpoint.
Laundry plays a critical role in maintaining resident wellbeing, dignity and comfort. Against a backdrop of rising costs, staffing pressures and increasing operational demands, Godfrey Care sought a partner that could deliver operational efficiencies, and enhanced support for residents and staff
In early 2026, UK fire door regulations underwent some of the biggest regulatory changes in years. This came about through the phasing out of old British testing standards and stricter enforcement under the Building Safety Act and Fire Safety Act.
Commercial fire detection systems rely on two core devices: smoke/heat detectors, fitted throughout your premises to detect the initial physical symptoms of fire, and fire alarm control panels (or FACPs), which receive signals from your heat and smoke detectors, triggering wider alarms and sending alerts directly to emergency services or monitoring partners, for the fastest possible response time.
This guide is intended for laundry professionals in a range of industries, helping them overcome the issues associated with a lack of up-to-date and reliable laundry equipment. Join our experts for a closer look at the common challenges you might face, and the solutions that will remedy them.
While they may have less-intensive capacity requirements than, say, hospitals or healthcare facilities, even the smallest care homes have unique laundry processing requirements. That’s why you need a commercial laundry equipment that’s designed to meet these needs, not a domestic model that’s underpowered and ill-equipped.
Large washing machines have a capacity of 20kg+, with some XL units capable of processing loads of up to 180kg. Of course, size isn’t everything, which is why you can expect the same levels of efficiency, durability and performance from these machines as you can from other JLA commercial laundry appliances.
The main difference between commercial and industrial washers is the load capacity they’re capable of handling, coupled with their expected daily usage.
Typically, commercial washers handle smaller cycles less frequently, though they’re still a powerful ally for your business. JLA offers commercial washing machines for sale across a variety of sectors, including care homes, hospitality businesses and launderettes.
Of all the commercial businesses with on-premises laundries, hotels have by far the most demanding and resource-intensive requirements. Processing hundreds of bed linens, towels, and flatwork every day is no mean feat, so a slick, well-managed workflow, along with reliable equipment, is essential to achieving peak performance and efficiency.
With compliance tightening, sustainability targets pressing, and estate running costs under the spotlight, facilities managers are always looking for smarter ways to stay on top of critical processes – and manage their assets’ performance day to day.
Between high running costs and tighter margins than ever, making sound financial decisions is a daily challenge for catering businesses. But the good news is that being more cost-effective doesn’t have to mean making big changes to how you operate. In fact, it can often come down to checking the basics to make sure you’re working as efficiently as possible.
