Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Southampton
Can the work in Southampton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Southampton keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can a school kitchen in Southampton be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 42 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Southampton. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?
Clear away food and small items from the work areas before any work starts. We will tell you anything else when we confirm the visit.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is Southampton in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Southampton included.
Kitchen deep cleaning in Southampton
Think of a deep clean as a full check-up for the kitchen. We look in the places daily cleaning misses and hand the kitchen back ready for service. From there, the daily routine is easier to keep up. We’re often asked to deal with a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean and hardened deposits on kitchen equipment, on walls and ceilings, floors and floor drains and stainless steel surfaces.
Food businesses in Southampton are inspected by council environmental health officers, and the state of walls, floors, ceilings and equipment is part of the inspection. Records of deep cleans help show the kitchen is kept in order.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Why act early in Southampton
In any kitchen in Southampton, the extract and the room it serves get greasy side by side. Cleaning one without the other leaves half the problem and that’s why many kitchens plan the two together. Larger sites in Southampton are easier to manage on a planned schedule.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Photo reports with every job

Managing agents and facilities teams in Southampton
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Southampton. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen deep cleaning won’t do:
- Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
- Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Behind and under equipment
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Walls and ceilings
- Ranges and ovens
- Floors and floor drains
- Fryers and grills
When to call us in Southampton
Crumbs and scraps end up behind the cooking line. Combined with grease, it becomes the kind of mess pests like if it isn’t cleared.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
- A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
- Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Bevois Town Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part

- Whether the price is fixed

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. In Southampton, bigger jobs are often split over several out-of-hours visits.
- A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
- We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
- We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
- We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
- Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading

Related advice
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Mop right into the edges and corners
- Do not wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Keep the extract running while you cook
Many kitchens book the next deep clean before we leave. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind all year round.
Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Keeping on top of them with deep cleans saves effort and protects the surfaces.
How we price kitchen deep cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system

- What state the system is in

What we need to know

- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
