What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Your opening hours decide when we come to South Ham, not ours.
- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- Equipment is switched off and allowed to cool.
- High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
- Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Ham
Old, baked-on grease does not come off with a wipe. Deep cleaning uses methods suited to the build-up and the time to do it properly. Common call-outs are for greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings and floors with grease along the edges, on floors and floor drains, behind and under equipment and stainless steel surfaces.
In a smaller place like South Ham, commercial kitchens are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen. Smaller kitchens still collect grease behind equipment and in the drains.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

What affects the quote in South Ham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Why deal with it now?
In South Ham, as elsewhere, grease doesn’t stay in one place. Cleaning the extract but not the room, or the other way round, only does half the job, so many kitchens book both. When a site near South Ham shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. Kitchens in South Ham get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. 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 Saint Peter's Church or anywhere around South Ham, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

How the job changes from site to site
Walls and ceilings
Wall cladding and tiles around the cooking line get greasy fast. They get a thorough degrease including the corners.
Floors
Removing grease from the floor cuts slip risks and makes the daily mop more effective.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
When to call us in South Ham
Warm, greasy air rises and settles on the ceiling. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip back down.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
- A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
- Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 1.5 miles north, is the nearest hospital to South Ham; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.
