Bodmin · Hygiene
A full back-of-house deep clean for Bodmin kitchens - surfaces, equipment and structure - that stands up to an environmental health inspection and protects your food hygiene rating.
Bodmin
Cornwall Council rates dozens of restaurants, cafes and canteens, and the number on the door is the first thing a customer checks.
Bodmin eats out along Fore Street, Mount Folly and Honey Street, from pub carveries and curry houses to the town's fish bars. Add the catering messes at Callywith College and Bodmin Community Hospital and the standard is one and the same - a clean extract system and a defensible hygiene record.
A deep clean is what stands behind a good rating when the Bodmin inspector arrives. We clean well beyond a nightly close-down - the surfaces, the equipment inside and behind, and the structure, from a greased extract canopy over a Fore Street range to the grouting under a Crockwell Street kitchen - to the standard an environmental health inspection actually scores.
The inspection
The Food Hygiene Rating an officer awards a Bodmin kitchen is built from three things on the day, and a deep clean moves two of them.
How food is prepped, cooked, cooled and stored on your line - your practice, but it stands on genuinely clean surfaces and equipment underneath it.
The state of the structure and equipment - the pillar a deep clean lifts directly, from a carbonised Fore Street range wall to the grouting in a Crockwell Street kitchen.
Your records and cleaning schedule - a documented deep clean gives you the dated evidence a Bodmin EHO wants to see behind it.
The clean
Floor to ceiling and inside the equipment, across the range Bodmin cooks on - not a surface wipe.
Cooking lines stripped and degreased, fryers and ranges cleaned out, the extract canopy and filters cleared, stainless polished, walls and ceilings washed down, fridges and cold rooms sanitised, and the carbonised grease behind the hot line that a nightly close-down never touches. From a single Honey Street range to a market-town-scale production kitchen, we work around your service - overnight or on a close day - and leave a dated record of exactly what was done.
On the ground in Bodmin
We are in Bodmin's kitchens every week. Real jobs, not a gallery of someone else's.
A care-home kitchen in Bodmin had its chargrill and stainless benches coated in old grease and carbon, with a musty smell in the cold room. We worked through every surface, the range inside and out and the walk-in, leaving the kitchen spotless and food-safe. We left a report and photos for the file, and flagged a few points to keep it clear between visits.
When to book
Usually before the inspector, not after.
Before an FHRS re-inspection, after a rating that needs lifting off a 2 or 3, at a Bell Lane handover or a new Crockwell Street opening, ahead of a busy season, or on a quarterly cycle so grease never gets the chance to build. A daily clean keeps a Bodmin kitchen running; a deep clean resets it to the condition Cornwall Council's officers actually score - two different jobs, done by different hands.
How it runs
Walk the Bodmin kitchen, agree scope and a slot around your service times.
Equipment and food areas safed off before work starts - important where a Honey Street kitchen has to reopen the next day.
Surfaces, equipment and structure - deep, and behind the hot line where the grease hides.
A dated record of what was cleaned, for your file and the next Bodmin EHO visit.
Questions
Daily cleaning keeps surfaces usable between services. A deep clean reaches what that never does - behind and beneath fixed equipment, inside ovens, fryers and extraction canopies, and across walls, ceilings and floor junctions. It is the part of a Honey Street or Crockwell Street kitchen an environmental health inspection actually looks at.
It targets exactly what the council's officers score on the physical side - the condition and cleanliness of structure and equipment, from a greased Fore Street extract to the grouting on a Crockwell Street line. It cannot change how you handle food, but it removes the build-up that drags a rating down.
Yes - ranges, ovens, fryers, griddles, extraction canopies, fridges and cold rooms, plus the structure around them. Bodmin kitchens span the full range, from a single Honey Street independent to a market-town-scale production line.
Yes - from Honey Street and Crockwell Street to the suburbs, and across the wider Cornwall.
Yes - the canopy, its baffle filters and the visible run come with the deep clean, which matters most on a heavy Fore Street line where the canopy carbonises fastest and the inspector looks first.
A schedule of the work done and before-and-after photographs, plus a record you can hand to a Bell Lane landlord, an incoming operator or a council environmental health officer.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, and across consecutive nights where a Honey Street or Crockwell Street site has to stay open. There is no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Local knowledge
The Bodmin and Wenford Railway still runs steam from Bodmin General, a heritage line worked by volunteers who keep firebox and boiler to the letter. That care for a clean, controlled burn carries straight into kitchen hygiene. Grease is the hazard a busy Bodmin kitchen builds without noticing - on canopies, in filters and up the extract - and we strip and certify those surfaces to TR19 Grease so that an insurer, and a fire, find nothing left to feed on.
