Commercial Kitchen Deep Cleaning

Keep your kitchen fully compliant, hygiene-rated, and ready for EHO inspection at any time. Our deep clean service meets all regulatory standards and is trusted by food businesses across Cumbria and the Northwest.

What Is a Commercial Kitchen Deep Clean?

A commercial kitchen deep clean is a thorough, top-to-bottom cleaning process that goes far beyond your daily or weekly routines. Unlike surface wiping or end-of-service cleans, a deep clean addresses every surface, appliance, drainage point, and hidden area where grease, bacteria, and contaminants accumulate over time.

Under the Food Safety Act 1990 and Food Hygiene Regulations 2006, all food businesses are legally required to maintain clean, safe, and pest-free kitchen environments. Failure to comply can result in poor hygiene ratings, formal improvement notices, or outright closure. Our deep clean service ensures your kitchen meets and exceeds these legal obligations.

We use professional-grade degreasers, steam equipment, and high-pressure cleaning tools to restore your kitchen to a hygienic, inspection-ready standard. Every visit is backed by a full written report and sign-off documentation you can present to inspectors or your insurer.

Did you know?

The Food Standards Agency's FHRS (Food Hygiene Rating Scheme) considers cleanliness across food handling, structural conditions, and management controls. A deep clean with documented sign-off directly supports a top hygiene rating.

4–8 hrs

Typical duration for a full commercial kitchen deep clean, depending on kitchen size and soil level. We work around your schedule to minimise disruption.

EHO Ready

Every deep clean includes a written inspection report and photographic sign-off: exactly the documentation an Environmental Health Officer expects to see.

Day One

A deep clean is typically the starting point when we take on a new client. It brings a kitchen that's been neglected back up to a compliant standard, ready for regular maintenance from there.

What's Included in Every Deep Clean

Our full kitchen deep clean covers every area systematically. Nothing is overlooked.

Floors & Drainage

Deep degreasing of all floor surfaces, grouting, anti-slip matting, and drainage channels. We remove grease build-up from drains to prevent blockages and odours.

Equipment Degreasing

Full dismantling, degreasing, and sanitising of all cooking equipment including fryers, ovens, grills, ranges, and steamers, both internal and external surfaces.

Walls, Tiles & Surfaces

Removal of grease, carbon deposits, and biofilm from all wall tiles, splashbacks, prep surfaces, and work counters using food-safe sanitising chemicals.

Cold Storage Units

Interior and exterior clean of all fridges, freezers, and cold rooms, including door seals, shelving, drainage trays, and condenser coils where accessible.

Waste Areas & Bins

Sanitising of all waste bins, bin stores, and refuse areas to eliminate bacteria, odours, and pest attractants. Includes cleaning of any waste compactor exteriors.

Inspection Report & Sign-Off

A full written post-clean report with photographic evidence of completed work, signed off by your lead technician. Formatted for EHO and insurance submissions.

"I can actually hear the kitchen extract system working and the extract above the dishwash nearly pulled the sheet of blue roll out my hand when I was showing the management team how effective the clean was! The lads grafted the entire time, and the job has made a huge difference to the guys working in the kitchen. I am over the moon with the results!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our commercial kitchen deep cleaning service.

How often should a commercial kitchen be deep cleaned?
For most clients, a deep clean is carried out at the start of a new cleaning contract, particularly where the kitchen has been neglected or is coming off a previous contractor. Once the kitchen is brought up to standard, ongoing maintenance cleans keep it that way and repeat deep cleans are rarely needed. We assess your kitchen's condition at first visit and recommend the right approach for your operation.
Do you provide documentation for EHO inspections?
Yes. Every deep clean is completed with a written post-clean report including photographic evidence of key areas before and after cleaning. The report is signed off by the lead technician and can be filed as part of your HACCP documentation. This is exactly the type of evidence an Environmental Health Officer expects to see when assessing your food safety management system.
Will you work outside of our trading hours?
Yes. We regularly schedule deep cleans overnight, early morning before service, or at weekends to avoid disrupting your business. We understand that kitchen downtime has a real cost, so we work around your operational hours wherever possible. Early morning slots (arriving at 5am or 6am and completing before service at 10am) are one of our most popular options.
Is a deep clean the same as a TR19 extraction clean?
No, these are separate services, though many clients book both together. A deep clean covers the kitchen itself: floors, equipment, surfaces, cold storage, and drainage. A TR19 extraction clean covers the extraction system specifically: the canopy, grease filters, ductwork, and fan, using BESCA-trained technicians and specialist equipment. TR19 certification documents grease deposit levels and confirms your extraction system meets fire safety standards. We offer both services and can combine them into a single planned maintenance visit.
What areas do you cover?
Based in Ulverston, we cover the whole of Cumbria including Kendal, Windermere, Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, and Penrith. We also cover Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside, and other parts of the Northwest. If you're unsure whether we cover your area, call us on 01229 588556 and we'll confirm quickly.
