Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bitterne
Grease that sits on a surface for long enough is hard to shift with daily cleaning. Deep cleaning uses methods suited to the build-up, along with the time and access a daily clean doesn’t have. We are often asked to deal with greasy, slippery kitchen floors and build-up behind fryers and ovens, on floors and floor drains, fryers and grills and behind and under equipment.
Work in a smaller place like Bitterne is planned around your opening hours.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Deal with spills right away
- Write down what gets cleaned and when
- Don’t let the extract cleaning slip
- Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
Equipment is put back in place before we leave so your team can start up as normal. Nothing special is needed after that once it’s back in service.
A deep clean ahead of a busy period sets the kitchen up well instead of chasing grime later.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bitterne
Food debris and grease in hidden corners can draw pests in. Cleaning it out removes what they’re looking for, which is far better than dealing with an infestation. A quieter site near Bitterne still needs its system looked after.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Part by part
Behind and under equipment
Debris under the line is a draw for pests. Clearing it out is a core part of a deep clean.
Cooking equipment
Ranges, ovens, grills and fryers are cleaned inside and out once it’s switched off and cooled.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Bitterne when you book.
- First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt doesn’t fall on clean areas.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Bitterne
Can you work in school kitchens in Bitterne during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 41 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bitterne. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bitterne?
Food hygiene inspections in Bitterne are carried out by Southampton council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What’s included in a kitchen deep clean?
Walls, floors, ceilings and cooking equipment, plus the areas behind and under the equipment. We agree the exact scope with you before any work starts.
Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?
Yes. Both can be done on the same visit or close together, depending on the size of the job.
Do inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is?
Inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is, including equipment. Deep cleaning brings the hidden areas up to standard, which helps you present a clean kitchen.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What we are called out for in Bitterne
Every service sends grease into the air. The canopy catches a lot of it but the rest lands on nearby surfaces. In time, it forms a tacky film that daily cleaning struggles with.
Look out for any of the following:
- A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- Food debris that could attract pests
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
For schools such as Bitterne CE Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Bitterne: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 50 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bitterne. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting.
