Common problems we fix in Fareham
Crumbs and scraps end up behind the cooking line. Combined with grease, it becomes the kind of mess pests like unless it’s cleaned out.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Floors with grease along the edges
- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- Grime in corners that pests could exploit
Where a church or community hall near St John The Evangelist, or anywhere in Fareham, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Fareham
The work runs from top to bottom. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last so dirt doesn’t land on areas already done. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before we start. If you have grease stains on walls near the cooking line and a clean-up ahead of an inspection, we can put it right, from walls and ceilings, stainless steel surfaces and floors and floor drains onwards.
For a kitchen in a town like Fareham, a deep clean is often booked after a refit, before an inspection or alongside an extract clean, so the whole kitchen is done in one closure.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Write down what gets cleaned and when
It’s easy to set the next date while we’re there. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen consistently clean between inspections.
Visible build-up behind equipment or on the ceiling is a clear sign. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and drawing pests in.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. Photos taken on a phone are usually enough for us to plan a job in Fareham and give a fixed quote.
- First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
- Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt does not fall on clean areas.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Common questions in Fareham
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Fareham?
The local authority for Fareham is Fareham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you work at weekends in Fareham?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Fareham needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
Yes, and it often makes sense. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 and the kitchen gets its deep clean too.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Do you work in Fareham?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Fareham included.
Which areas does a deep clean cover?
It covers the full kitchen, from ceiling to floor. The exact list is agreed when we quote, so there are no surprises.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

There are about 82 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 21 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fareham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Daily cleaning keeps a kitchen tidy, but kitchens like these still need a periodic deep clean. It’s Fareham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fareham. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Knowle Hospital about 2 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. For busy kitchens close to Fareham station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing.

Fixed quotes for kitchen deep cleaning in Fareham
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What happens if it’s left?
Food debris and grease in hidden corners can draw pests in. A deep clean takes away the food source and prevention is much easier than cure. Grease, dust and wear all build up with time.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
