About our kitchen deep cleaning in Portswood
Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. Where equipment can safely be moved, we clean behind and under it as that is where grease and food debris gather. If you’re dealing with a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean and grime behind and under cooking equipment, we can put it right.
In a place like Portswood, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is normally the first sign.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Write down what gets cleaned and when
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Mop right into the edges and corners
It’s easy to set the next date while we’re there. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen consistently clean between inspections.
Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Portswood and across Southampton. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Portswood when you book.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
