Managing agents and facilities teams in Picket Piece
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
About our kitchen deep cleaning in Picket Piece
The work runs from top to bottom. Ceilings and high-level areas come first, followed by walls, equipment and floors, so nothing falls onto surfaces we have already cleaned. Cooking equipment is switched off and allowed to cool first. The work covers floors and floor drains, behind and under equipment and fryers and grills, and common reasons people get in touch are a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned and a clean-up ahead of an inspection.
In a smaller place like Picket Piece, 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 doesn’t reach.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen deep cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. In a smaller place like Picket Piece, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
- We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
- Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading

Picket Piece questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Picket Piece?
In Picket Piece, it’s Test Valley 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.
Do you work in villages like Picket Piece?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Picket Piece is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.
Can you clean outside our opening hours?
It’s timed for when the kitchen isn’t cooking. Deep cleans happen when the kitchen is closed, and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Do you move heavy equipment to clean behind it?
Behind and under the equipment is a key part of the job. Where an item is fixed we clean as far around and under it as possible.
Will a deep clean help with an EHO inspection?
Yes, cleanliness of the premises is part of an inspection. No clean can promise a rating but a deep clean gives you a clean starting point.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

- What state the system is in
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A blocked or overflowing grease trap
- The inside of the extract system
- Worn or broken surfaces that cleaning cannot restore
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Fryers and grills
- Floors and floor drains
- Behind and under equipment
- Ranges and ovens
- Walls and ceilings
- Stainless steel surfaces
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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, and that’s where we come in.
What we’re called out for in Picket Piece
Ovens, ranges, grills and fryers build up baked-on deposits. A daily wipe-down does not touch the hardened layers, so it builds up underneath.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
- Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
- Preparation for an EHO inspection
- Floors with grease along the edges
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School or anywhere near Picket Piece, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
