Kitchen deep cleaning across Hythe

Between visits

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Mop right into the edges and corners
  • Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
  • Do not let the extract cleaning slip
  • Deal with spills straight away

It’s easy to set the next date while we’re there. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind all year round.

Setting deep cleans on a regular cycle keeps the kitchen in good health. Combining them with extract cleans keeps the whole kitchen on track.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Hythe, done properly

Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. Where equipment can safely be moved, we clean behind and under it, because that’s where the worst build-up hides. Common call-outs are for greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings and floors with grease along the edges, across fryers and grills, stainless steel surfaces and floors and floor drains.

In a town like Hythe, deep cleans and grease trap work normally mean restaurants, pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Each builds up grease where the daily clean cannot reach.

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 carry full insurance.

When it’s something else

Not every problem is solved by kitchen deep cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:

  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
  • Blocked drains and grease traps, which are a separate service
  • Appliance breakdowns

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Where we work

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

When to call us in Hythe

Food debris falls behind and under equipment. Mixed with grease, it forms a layer that can attract pests unless it’s cleaned out.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • A clean-up ahead of an inspection
  • Grime in corners that pests could exploit
  • Food debris trapped under the range
  • Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills

If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Hythe (the nearest hospital is Royal South Hants Hospital, about 3.5 miles north), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Before you book anyone

  • Proof of accreditation you can verify

The process

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Sites in a town like Hythe rarely need to lose trading hours, as the work fits around them.

  1. We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
  2. Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
  3. Grease is removed from ceilings, walls and equipment.
  4. We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
  5. Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Find the previous report, if there is one

Ask for a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

What affects the quote in Hythe

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

  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • The times the site is available
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

What we need to know

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:

  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • A few general shots of the system

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Questions from Hythe

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hythe?

In Hythe, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. 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.

Can you work in school kitchens in Hythe during the holidays?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 9 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hythe. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.

How long will the kitchen be out of use?

As a guide, it takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. Bigger kitchens or heavy build-up need more time and we will say so when we quote.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

What is TR19?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.

What do you clean in a commercial kitchen deep clean?

The whole kitchen: walls, ceilings, floors and equipment, plus the areas behind and under the equipment. The scope is agreed before the visit.

What accreditations do you have?

We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Hythe

Food Standards Agency records include about 14 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hythe. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Hythe. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.

Hall kitchens near Church of St John or elsewhere in Hythe may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Medieval Merchant's House is about 2.6 miles north), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
