All told, the work takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to South Down.

- We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
- We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.

Advice
Kitchen deep cleaning in South Down
An EHO looks at the whole kitchen, not just the worktops. Build-up on walls, ceilings and behind equipment is part of what they see. A deep clean puts the whole kitchen in good order whenever it’s needed. We’re often asked to deal with a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean and signs of pests drawn by food debris, across walls and ceilings, ranges and ovens and behind and under equipment.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common questions in South Down
Do you work overnight in South Down?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in South Down needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you work in school kitchens in South Down during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of South Down. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is South Down in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in South Down, within the South East and London area we cover.
Will a deep clean help with an EHO inspection?
Inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is, including equipment. Deep cleaning brings the hidden areas up to standard so the whole kitchen is in good order.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What happens if it’s left?
Built-up grease around the cooking line is something that can burn. Leaving it adds to the fire risk in the kitchen on top of what’s in the ductwork. Deep cleaning removes it. A fault that closes a site in a village like South Down affects everyone who depends on it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Kitchen deep cleaning around South Down
There are about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens in South Down and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Daily cleaning keeps a kitchen tidy, but kitchens like these still need a periodic deep clean. Kitchens in South Down get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Hampshire County Hospital about 3.2 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or anywhere in South Down, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Different parts, different methods
Cooking equipment
Baked-on grease and carbon build up on cooking equipment. They’re removed in a way that suits each appliance.
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens that serve fixed mealtimes need careful planning. We work outside meal service.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
- Worn or broken surfaces that cleaning cannot restore
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Floors and floor drains
- Ranges and ovens
- Walls and ceilings
- Behind and under equipment
- Fryers and grills
- Stainless steel surfaces
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Wipe splashes before they harden
- Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We walk round with you or your manager before we go.
Before a busy season or a big event, a deep clean gives you a clean start, rather than trying to catch up afterwards.
Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in South Down?
In South Down and everywhere else, a working kitchen takes a hammering. Heat, steam, spills and splashes all add up on every surface.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Cooking equipment caked in carbon
- Grime in corners that pests could exploit
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Twyford St Mary's Church of England Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
