Fixed quotes for kitchen deep cleaning in Southsea
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Kitchen deep cleaning in Southsea
For kitchens in Southsea, we plan deep cleans around service. Most are done overnight, early in the morning or at the weekend so there’s no lost trade. School kitchens are often done in the holidays. Typical jobs include a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean and build-up behind fryers and ovens, across ranges and ovens, fryers and grills and floors and floor drains.
Around a town like Southsea, the kitchens we deep clean tend to be pubs, restaurants, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. All of them collect grease behind and under equipment.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What else we do in Southsea
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a town like Southsea, we normally work after closing or on a quiet day, so the site opens again on time.
- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
- High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
- We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Common questions in Southsea
Do you work overnight in Southsea?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Southsea doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can school kitchens in Southsea be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 35 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Southsea. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Will you clean under the ranges and fryers?
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 will tell you where that applies.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What we are called out for in Southsea
Steam and condensation carry grease to ceilings and high walls. It darkens surfaces and can drip onto the area below.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
- A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Margaret of Scotland or elsewhere in Southsea, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Southsea kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 78 pubs, bars and clubs and about 20 hotels and guest houses registered in Southsea and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving food has a kitchen that collects grease out of sight and drains that need protecting. In Southsea, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Portsmouth council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St. Mary's Hospital (about 1 mile north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you run a café or takeaway near Fratton station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
- Worn or broken surfaces that cleaning cannot restore
- An infestation that needs specialist treatment
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Fryers and grills
- Ranges and ovens

Part by part
School and care home kitchens
School holidays are a good time for a deep clean so the kitchen is ready when pupils return.
Behind and under equipment
These areas are almost impossible to reach during daily cleaning, which is why build-up gets so bad.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
