Kitchen deep cleaning in Freemantle
Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean. We clean the extract system and the room it serves and the whole kitchen benefits. It works on its own as well, between extract cleans. The work covers ranges and ovens, walls and ceilings and floors and floor drains, and people most often call us about food debris that could attract pests and food debris trapped under the range.
In a smaller place like Freemantle, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning does not reach.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Commercial kitchens in Freemantle
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 266 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 96 takeaways in and around Freemantle, up to about a mile and a half out. The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. Kitchens in Freemantle get their food hygiene inspections from Southampton council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Western Community Hospital about 1.3 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. For schools such as Freemantle Church of England Community Academy, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.
Freemantle is about 1 mile west of Southampton, in Southampton. Every kind of commercial site in Freemantle, we can take on kitchen deep cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Our Southampton coverage runs to 40 places, Freemantle among them.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
How the job changes from site to site
Floors
Grease builds up along the edges and under equipment. That’s where we focus.
Behind and under equipment
Behind and beneath the cooking line, grease and food debris collect. We clean behind and under equipment wherever it’s safe to move.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Freemantle questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Freemantle?
The local authority for Freemantle is Southampton council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you clean school kitchens in Freemantle in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Freemantle, the Food Standards Agency lists about 26 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will you clean under the ranges and fryers?
Behind and under the equipment is where the worst build-up is, so we reach it wherever it’s safe to do so. We check what can be moved safely at the start.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What’s included in a kitchen deep clean?
A deep clean covers the areas daily cleaning misses, from high walls and ceilings to the floor under the range. The cooking equipment is cleaned too.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Is Freemantle in your area?
Yes. We cover Freemantle and across Southampton, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
When to call us in Freemantle
Every service sends grease into the air. The canopy catches a lot of it, but some settles on walls, ceilings and equipment. In time, it forms a tacky film that daily cleaning struggles with.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Signs of pests drawn by food debris
- Cooking equipment caked in carbon
- Preparation for an EHO inspection
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
For busy kitchens close to Millbrook (Hants) station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether they recommend a next date
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. Visits to a place like Freemantle are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- 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.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
