About our kitchen deep cleaning in Portsea
Think of a deep clean as a full check-up for the kitchen. The hidden corners get as much attention as the obvious ones and hand the kitchen back ready for service. It’s a fresh start that’s easier to keep on top of. The work covers fryers and grills, floors and floor drains and behind and under equipment, and people most often call us about a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean and cooking equipment caked in carbon.
Around a place like Portsea, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Portsea questions
Do you clean school kitchens in Portsea in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 32 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Portsea. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work in villages like Portsea?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Portsea is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are 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 you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?
Yes, and it often makes sense. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 while the kitchen around it is deep cleaned.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do you move heavy equipment to clean behind it?
We clean behind and under as much equipment as can be safely reached. Where an item is fixed we clean as far around and under it as possible.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease in the ducts above the kitchen
- An infestation that needs specialist treatment
- Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Floors and floor drains
- Fryers and grills
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Ranges and ovens
- Walls and ceilings
- Behind and under equipment
What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Why it’s worth doing now in Portsea

Kitchen deep cleaning in Portsea: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 290 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 115 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Portsea. Kitchens like these build up grease behind and under equipment, on walls and on ceilings. Environmental health officers from Portsmouth council inspect food businesses in Portsea. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Hall and church kitchens, near St Ann's Church or anywhere around Portsea, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Portsmouth Hospital (about 0.8 miles east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. School kitchens, at schools like Portsmouth Grammar School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Green spaces nearby include Milton Locks and Portsdown Hill.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Portsea.
- We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
- High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
- Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
- We finish the floors and walk round with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep a cleaning log up to date
We finish with the floors and leave them dry and ready. Staff can get straight back to work at the start of the next shift.
A deep clean ahead of a busy period sets the kitchen up well, rather than trying to catch up afterwards.
