Kitchen deep cleaning in Totton

Kitchen deep cleaning in Totton, done properly

A deep clean is the kitchen’s full treatment. We look in the places daily cleaning misses and leave the kitchen ready to cook. From there, the daily routine is easier to keep up. The work covers walls and ceilings, fryers and grills and floors and floor drains, and people most often call us about a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit and grime behind and under cooking equipment.

Grease traps fill up with fat and food scraps, and a full trap lets fat through to the drains. Regular emptying and cleaning stops the smells and blockages that follow.

Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Part by part

Cooking equipment

We clean the cooking equipment itself, inside and out once it’s switched off and cooled.

Canopy exteriors

Canopy surfaces get greasy on the outside as well as inside. We clean the exterior as part of the deep clean.

Why it’s worth doing now in Totton

Food debris and grease in hidden corners can draw pests in. Cleaning it out removes what they’re looking for, which is far better than dealing with an infestation. If an inspection, an insurer’s survey or a fire risk assessment is coming up in Totton, having the work done and recorded first helps.

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

What you get with us

  • We are fully insured
  • Each visit written up, with pictures
  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

See our cost guide and our accreditations and certificates.

What affects the quote in Totton

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Any permits to work or inductions

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Helping us quote

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What we’re called out for in Totton

Kitchens in Totton, as anywhere, take a lot of punishment. Heat, steam, spills and splashes all add up over time.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Grime in corners that pests could exploit
  • A kitchen that needs a clean start
  • Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
  • Build-up behind fryers and ovens

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Abbotswood Junior School or anywhere near Totton, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
  • What records you will receive afterwards
  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • Whether VAT is included

Questions to ask before booking

Kitchen deep cleaning around Totton

The FSA’s data shows about 17 pubs, bars and clubs registered in Totton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Kitchens in Totton get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. 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.

Tatchbury Mount Hospital, about 1.3 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Totton; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times. Hall kitchens near Church of St Winfred or elsewhere in Totton may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.

What happens on the day

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Three things shape a visit in Totton: when you’re closed, where we can park and how we get to the system.

  1. We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
  2. Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
  3. Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
  4. Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
  5. The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.

How to prepare

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
