About our kitchen deep cleaning in Thornhill
Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely as that’s where grease and food debris gather. If you’re dealing with floors with grease along the edges and a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean, we can put it right, from stainless steel surfaces, behind and under equipment and ranges and ovens onwards.
Around a place like Thornhill, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Why act early in Thornhill
In Thornhill, as elsewhere, grease does not stay in one place. Cleaning the extract but not the room, or the other way round, only does half the job, so many kitchens book both. Even a site near Thornhill that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why us?
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Photo reports with every job
- Trading since 2009

What we are called out for in Thornhill
Food debris falls behind and under equipment. Combined with grease, it becomes the kind of mess pests like if it isn’t cleared.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
- Signs of pests drawn by food debris
South Stoneham House, about 2.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses around Thornhill; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease in the ducts above the kitchen
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
- Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Thornhill
Food Standards Agency records list about 32 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 41 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Thornhill. The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. It’s Southampton council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Thornhill. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
Where a church or community hall near St Christopher, or anywhere in Thornhill, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Thornhill Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen deep cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Visits to a place like Thornhill are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
- We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
- Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
