Kitchen deep cleaning in Ellingham

Different parts, different methods

Walls and ceilings

Grease and steam rise and settle on walls and ceilings. They’re cleaned first, working downwards so nothing drips onto clean areas.

Floors

A clean floor is safer for staff and makes daily cleaning easier.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Ellingham, done properly

Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: walls, floors, ceilings, and the equipment itself. Where equipment can safely be moved, we clean behind and under it, because that’s where the worst build-up hides. If you have preparation for an EHO inspection and a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen, we can put it right.

In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.

We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What a clean will not put right

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • A blocked or overflowing grease trap
  • Appliance breakdowns
  • Grease in the ducts above the kitchen

If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Where we work

  • Ranges and ovens
  • Behind and under equipment
  • Stainless steel surfaces
  • Walls and ceilings
  • Fryers and grills
  • Floors and floor drains

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Ellingham?

The usual end-of-shift clean covers what’s in easy reach. Behind and under heavy equipment, high walls and ceilings rarely get the same attention so grease and debris accumulate there.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
  • Signs of pests drawn by food debris
  • Grime behind and under cooking equipment
  • A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean

School kitchens, at schools like Ringwood School Academy for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Ellingham questions

Do you clean school kitchens in Ellingham in the summer holidays?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Ellingham. You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.

Is Ellingham within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you provide a certificate or report?

Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Will a deep clean help with an EHO inspection?

Cleanliness is one of the things inspectors assess. Deep cleaning takes care of grime in the places that are easy to miss, though it’s the daily routine that keeps it there.

What does commercial kitchen deep cleaning cost?

We give you a fixed price after looking at the kitchen. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll arrange it, and it’s typically back within one working day.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

Which areas does a deep clean cover?

It takes in the places daily cleaning does not reach, from high walls and ceilings to the floor under the range. The cooking equipment is cleaned too.

What’s TR19?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

Ellingham kitchens: local notes

Food hygiene inspections in Ellingham are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.

Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; St Leonard's Hospital, about 4.6 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Ellingham. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary and All Saints or elsewhere in Ellingham, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

How it works

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Ellingham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

  1. First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
  2. Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
  3. Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
  4. We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
  5. The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Advice

What affects the quote in Ellingham

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • The condition of the system
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • How many systems or sites are involved

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What to send for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
