Kitchen deep cleaning across Picket Twenty

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Picket Twenty, done properly

Grease that sits on a surface for long enough is hard to shift with daily cleaning. Deep cleaning uses methods suited to the build-up and the time to do it properly. Typical jobs include food debris trapped under the range and grease built up on walls and ceilings, across walls and ceilings, ranges and ovens and behind and under equipment.

For a kitchen in or near Picket Twenty, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.

Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What the work involves, part by part

Cooking equipment

Equipment collects hardened deposits. We remove them using methods that suit the equipment.

Walls and ceilings

Ceilings above the cooking line often darken with grease. We clean them along with the walls using methods suited to the surface.

Common problems we fix in Picket Twenty

Warm, greasy air rises and settles on the ceiling. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip back down.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean
  • Grime behind and under cooking equipment
  • Signs of pests drawn by food debris
  • Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings

For schools such as Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.

FAQs for Picket Twenty

Can you come to Picket Twenty after we close?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.

Can you get to a site in Picket Twenty?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Picket Twenty is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

How do you protect the area?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.

Will a deep clean help with an EHO inspection?

Cleanliness is one of the things inspectors assess. Deep cleaning takes care of grime in the places that are easy to miss, though it’s the daily routine that keeps it there.

How far ahead should we book?

Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

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.

How it works

Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. In a small place like Picket Twenty, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  1. First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
  2. Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
  3. We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
  4. Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
  5. Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
  • Do not let debris build up behind the line
  • Deal with spills right away
  • Never cook with the extract switched off

When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We go round the kitchen with you before we go.

Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Keeping on top of them with deep cleans saves effort and protects the surfaces.

Picket Twenty kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency records list about 52 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 20 sandwich bars and takeaways across Picket Twenty and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease settles behind fryers, under ranges and on high surfaces in kitchens like these. In Picket Twenty, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Picket Twenty (the nearest hospital is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 1.9 miles west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. Hall kitchens near United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Picket Twenty may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
