About our kitchen deep cleaning in Southwick
We clean from the ceiling down. Ceilings and high-level areas come first, followed by walls, equipment and floors, so nothing falls onto surfaces we’ve already cleaned. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before work begins. The work covers ranges and ovens, stainless steel surfaces and behind and under equipment, and people most often call us about a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit and a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Southwick are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is normally the first sign.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Walls and ceilings
The ceiling near the cooking line takes the brunt. They’re cleaned as part of the deep clean using methods suited to the surface.
Canopy exteriors
A clean canopy shows right away. Including it in the deep clean leaves nothing out.

When to call us in Southwick
Busy periods leave little time for anything beyond the essentials. A few busy weeks in Southwick or anywhere else are enough for grime to build behind and above the equipment.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Floors with grease along the edges
- A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
- Food debris that could attract pests
If you run a kitchen near Southwick station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Mop right into the edges and corners
- Keep a cleaning log up to date
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Never cook with the extract switched off
If we spot anything that needs attention, like damaged surfaces or a greasy canopy, we tell you. It may need an extract clean or another trade.
Old grease hardens with every service. A deep clean now saves a much bigger job later, and keeps the kitchen ready for an inspection.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Appliance breakdowns
- An infestation that needs specialist treatment
- Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Behind and under equipment
- Ranges and ovens
- Floors and floor drains
- Walls and ceilings
- Fryers and grills
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How we price kitchen deep cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. We plan the journey to Southwick and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
- 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.
- The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 26 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Southwick. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. It’s Adur council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Southwick. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Where a church or community hall near St Michael and All Angels Church, or anywhere in Southwick, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Southlands Hospital about 1 mile west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
