Commercial Kitchen Cleaning Services

By nature, commercial kitchens are complex environments, with a plethora of kit and equipment to cater for all eventualities. Routine wiping of surfaces and cleaning of equipment is needed to prevent bacteria building up but inevitably some areas are missed, eventually attracting pests, posing a food safety hazard, and becoming a source of unpleasant odours. Arranging to work around your schedule, our specialist kitchen cleaning technicians will work systematically through your commercial kitchen, using powerful yet sustainable chemicals and equipment to deep clean the entire kitchen, including floors, walls, cookers, fryers and ovens. Care is taken to ensure a high level of hygiene cleaning is undertaken in hidden and inaccessible areas.

When it comes to grills, hobs and canopy filters, carbonised grease and food are particularly stubborn and unsightly by-products of the cooking process. A regular deep clean includes specialist removal of carbonised deposit from kitchen equipment to avoid contamination and bring back the sparkle.

Regular removal of grease from within kitchen extract ventilation not only prevents malodour and pests, it's an important fire control measure. Once fat, oil and grease (FOG) deposits reach a certain thickness, the likelihood of a fire spreading through the ductwork should one occur is significantly higher. Regular inspection and removal of grease is vital for building safety and to comply with insurance indemnities.

We will clean a system from canopy to atmosphere, in line with BESA TR19® industry guidelines, to ensure that grease levels do not exceed stated thresholds and minimise the risk of fire within ducting occurring.

Our GHT-trained (grease hygiene-trained technicians (GHT) will measure grease levels before cleaning where required and confirming a full clean is carried out through a comprehensive, photographic, post clean report and certificate for your records and due diligence.

Grease traps are an essential part of any commercial kitchen, and help with grease management by capturing harmful fats, oils and greases (FOG), preventing them from entering the sewer where they could cause potential damage or blockages.

Without proper grease trap maintenance and cleaning, grease deposits can build-up quickly inside the traps, making them ineffective and become a source of unpleasant odours. Our grease trap cleaning service helps to stop blocks in drains and malodours by cleaning out and safely disposing of the waste in line with national requirements.

Biological dosing services can also help keep grease traps and pipework clean and flowing smoothly. Rentokil Specialist Hygiene’s biological dosing service can periodically feed your commercial kitchen drain pipes and grease trap with a biological solution to break down grease and prevent the build-up from occurring. As part of our installation and service regime, our team provides regular planned service visits to ensure your commercial kitchen drains are always operating efficiently.

In addition to grease trap maintenance and cleaning, Rentokil Specialist Hygiene will also provide a removal and disposal service for all waste grease from commercial kitchens, removing the need to clean and remove it yourself, and ensuring all waste is disposed of correctly in line with current UK waste legislation.

Wet and carbonised grease is a major fire hazard in commercial kitchens, and kitchen fires can be devastating. A clean ventilation system acts as a fire break, preventing the spread of fire and minimising damage.

Regular grease removal is essential for fire safety:

• It's a core part of a commercial kitchen's fire safety compliance plan.
• It helps demonstrate due diligence under the Fire Safety Order (2005).
• It's a key requirement for insurance. Some insurers stipulate TR19® standard ductwork cleaning before providing cover.

Under the Food Safety Act and General Food Hygiene Regulations, owners are legally required to keep premises and equipment clean to prevent contamination.

Regular scheduled deep cleaning removes food sources for pests and destroys pathogenic bacteria, reducing health hazards. This additional hygiene also helps improve and maintain Food Standards Agency (FSA) ratings. Furthermore, regular scheduling of deep cleans is a key component of a comprehensive HACCP plan.

Comprehensive record keeping within commercial kitchens provides evidence of due diligence in the event of any problems. Rentokil Specialist Hygiene provides Commercial Kitchen Hygiene Certification for any Kitchen deep cleaning work carried out, which can be filed in your kitchen hygiene booklet. This document lets you keep an up-to-date record of our visits and your kitchen hygiene procedures, so that you can exhibit a comprehensive hygiene regime when visited by Environmental Health Officers.
