About our kitchen deep cleaning in St Mary's
Every deep clean we carry out in St Mary's takes in the whole kitchen: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. Where equipment can safely be moved, we clean behind and under it as that’s where grease and food debris gather. The work covers walls and ceilings, floors and floor drains and behind and under equipment, and people most often call us about hardened deposits on kitchen equipment and food debris trapped under the range.
In a place like St Mary's, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is typically the first sign.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Managing agents and facilities teams in St Mary's
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Southampton. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What we’re called out for in St Mary's
Crumbs and scraps end up behind the cooking line. Combined with grease, it becomes the kind of mess pests like unless it’s cleaned out.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
Hall kitchens near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in St Mary's may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of insurance
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
What happens if it’s left?
In any kitchen in St Mary's, the extract and the room it serves get greasy side by side. Cleaning one without the other leaves half the problem, so many kitchens book both. In a smaller place like St Mary's, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen deep cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. For a site near St Mary's, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Deal with spills right away
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Keep the extract running while you cook
Equipment is put back in place before we leave, ready for your staff to check and start up. Nothing special is needed after that once it’s back in service.
Setting deep cleans on a regular cycle keeps the kitchen in good health. Combining them with extract cleans keeps the whole kitchen on track.
St Mary's kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 309 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 109 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of St Mary's. Daily cleaning keeps a kitchen tidy, but kitchens like these still need a periodic deep clean. Food hygiene inspections in St Mary's are the job of Southampton council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a café or takeaway near Southampton Central station, a deep clean overnight means the kitchen opens as normal next morning. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Hope Community School Southampton, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

What the work involves, part by part
Cooking equipment
Clean equipment is easier to keep clean and inspectors notice the difference.
Canopy exteriors
A clean canopy shows straight away. Cleaning it with the rest of the kitchen finishes the job properly.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
St Mary's questions
Who inspects food businesses in St Mary's?
In St Mary's, it’s Southampton council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Can you come to St Mary's after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
What do you clean in a commercial kitchen deep clean?
Walls, floors, ceilings and cooking equipment, plus the areas behind and under the equipment. We agree the exact scope with you before work begins.
Will you clean under the ranges and fryers?
We clean behind and under as much equipment as can be safely reached. If something can’t be moved safely we clean as far around and under it as possible.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
