About our kitchen deep cleaning in Portsmouth

Every deep clean we carry out in Portsmouth takes in the whole kitchen: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely, because that’s where the worst build-up hides. If you’re dealing with grime in corners that pests could exploit and a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean, we can help, from fryers and grills, walls and ceilings and floors and floor drains onwards.

Big kitchens in Portsmouth cannot close for a day, so we work overnight or section by section, and grease traps are emptied on a schedule that suits the volume.

Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning

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

  • The times the site is available
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • The number of sites or systems
  • Parking and loading at the site

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:

  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Portsmouth

Can you work in Portsmouth outside opening hours?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Portsmouth keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Do you work in school kitchens around Portsmouth out of term?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 48 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Portsmouth. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

What do you do with what you remove?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.

What about areas you cannot get to?

We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?

Clear away food and small items from the work areas before any work starts. Anything else we need, we’ll mention in advance.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.

Portsmouth kitchens: local notes

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 95 pubs, bars and clubs and about 16 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Portsmouth. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Portsmouth council inspect food businesses in Portsmouth. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.

For a café close to Fratton station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Portsmouth Hospital (about 0.7 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Portsmouth is in England. Sites in Portsmouth get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. 19 places in Portsmouth are on our list, large and small.

Work in PO6, PO4, PO1 and PO2 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If you need kitchen deep cleaning at premises on Church Road, April Square and Rudmore Square or a nearby road, we can help. Portsmouth is on the A3 and A27, which makes it straightforward for our technicians to reach for out-of-hours visits.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: 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 canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.

Why deal with it now?

Grime behind and under equipment can attract pests. Cleaning it out removes what they’re looking for and prevention is much easier than cure. Records matter in Portsmouth: insurers and inspectors may ask to see them.

The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

When to call us in Portsmouth

Crumbs and scraps end up behind the cooking line. Combined with grease, it becomes the kind of mess pests like if it is not cleared.

What we are most often called out for:

  • A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
  • Grime behind and under cooking equipment
  • Cooking equipment caked in carbon
  • Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings

Where a church or community hall near St Wilfrid, or anywhere in Portsmouth, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Comparing quotes

  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify

When it’s something else

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
  • Drainage problems beyond the kitchen

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

How it works

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. We’ll ask where we can park in Portsmouth and how to get equipment to the system, as those shape the visit.

  1. A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
  2. Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
  3. We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
  4. We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
  5. The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.

Before we arrive

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
