Kitchen deep cleaning in Northam, done properly
An EHO looks at the whole kitchen, not just the worktops. Build-up on walls, ceilings and behind equipment is part of what they see. A thorough deep clean brings every surface up to standard before or after an inspection. Common call-outs are for greasy, slippery kitchen floors and a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit, on stainless steel surfaces, ranges and ovens and floors and floor drains.
In a smaller place like Northam, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Northam
Do you cover smaller places like Northam?
Yes, Northam is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Northam be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Northam does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How much time does a deep clean need?
A typical kitchen takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites including the floors at the end. We plan it to finish before your next service.
Can you clean behind fixed equipment?
Where equipment can be moved safely, we clean behind and under it. Some equipment is fixed or connected in a way that means it shouldn’t be moved, and we’ll tell you where that applies.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?
Not much. Move food and loose items away from the areas being cleaned, and make sure we can get in at the agreed time.
Part by part
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens in schools, care homes and hospitals need cleaning that fits around mealtimes. We work outside meal service.
Behind and under equipment
Food debris behind equipment can attract pests. Clearing it out is a core part of a deep clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Northam
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
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, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Clean behind movable equipment regularly
The kitchen is handed back ready for the next service. We go round the kitchen with you to check everything is as agreed.
Grease that is left only gets harder to remove. A deep clean now saves a much bigger job later and keeps the kitchen in shape for an EHO visit.
What happens if it’s left?
Staff notice when a kitchen is grimy. Slippery floors and sticky surfaces make the job harder and more tiring. Deep cleaning gives the team a better place to work. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We plan the journey to Northam and bring what the job is likely to need.
- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
- High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
- We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Kitchen deep cleaning around Northam
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 88 pubs, bars and clubs and about 21 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Northam. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Environmental health officers from Southampton council inspect food businesses in Northam. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Augustine or elsewhere in Northam may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you serve passing trade near Bitterne station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Northam (the nearest hospital is Royal South Hants Hospital, about 0.8 miles west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.
