About our kitchen deep cleaning in Southwick
Every deep clean we carry out in Southwick takes in the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings, and the equipment itself. Where equipment can safely be moved, we clean behind and under it as that is where grease and food debris gather. Common call-outs are for a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean and grime behind and under cooking equipment, on stainless steel surfaces, behind and under equipment and floors and floor drains.
Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Southwick: local notes
Look up Southwick on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Southwick. Daily cleaning keeps a kitchen tidy, but kitchens like these still need a periodic deep clean. Food hygiene inspections in Southwick are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. 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.
Queen Alexandra Hospital, about 2.5 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Southwick; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. Hall kitchens near Church of St James Without the Priory Gate or elsewhere in Southwick may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
Southwick is about 3 miles west of Purbrook, in Hampshire. Anywhere in PO17, we can carry out kitchen deep cleaning at your premises. Southwick is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy exteriors
Canopy surfaces get greasy on the outside as well as inside. The outside of the canopy is cleaned with the rest of the kitchen.
Floors
Kitchen floors collect grease, food debris and grime. We clean them last, including under and behind equipment where it can be moved safely.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What happens if it’s left?
Staff notice when a kitchen is grimy. Slippery floors and sticky surfaces make the job harder and more tiring. A clean kitchen is safer and easier to run. It’s simpler to plan the work at Southwick now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What we’re called out for in Southwick
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.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as King Richard School or anywhere near Southwick, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they carry
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Southwick questions
Do you work overnight in Southwick?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is Southwick within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Southwick is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
Typically, a deep clean takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Bigger kitchens or heavy build-up need more time, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep a cleaning log up to date
- Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
- Mop right into the edges and corners
- Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
It’s easy to set the next date while we’re there. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen consistently clean all year round.
Before a busy season or a big event, a deep clean gives you a clean start instead of chasing grime later.
