Different parts, different methods

Behind and beneath the cooking line, grease and food debris collect. Where equipment can be moved safely, we move it and clean underneath.
Kitchen deep cleaning in Shirley
A good daily routine keeps the surfaces clean but some areas never get touched. Grease collects behind ranges, under fryers, on high walls and across ceilings. A deep clean deals with all of it while the kitchen is closed. If you’re dealing with a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen and greasy, slippery kitchen floors, we can help, from fryers and grills, walls and ceilings and floors and floor drains onwards.
In a place like Shirley, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is typically the first sign.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Common questions in Shirley
Can you get to a site in Shirley?
Yes, Shirley is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Shirley?
The local authority for Shirley is Southampton council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Do you move heavy equipment to clean behind it?
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 long will the kitchen be out of use?
That comes down to the kitchen, and a deep clean normally takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. We will confirm when we quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What we’re called out for in Shirley
Kitchens in Shirley, as anywhere, take a lot of punishment. Spills, splashes, steam and heat all leave their mark over time.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Shirley Parish Church or elsewhere in Shirley, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of insurance
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
What affects the quote in Shirley
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. Around Shirley, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
- Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Shirley kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 47 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 13 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Shirley. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. In Shirley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Southampton council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Wordsworth Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you run a kitchen near Millbrook (Hants) station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.
