Dudley · Hygiene
A full back-of-house deep clean for Dudley kitchens - surfaces, equipment and structure - that stands up to an environmental health inspection and protects your food hygiene rating.
Dudley
Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council rates around 2,600 restaurants, cafes and canteens, and the number on the door is the first thing a customer checks.
Dudley eats out across its towns: the restaurants and pubs of Stourbridge and its glass quarter, the high streets of Halesowen and Sedgley, the Merry Hill and Waterfront dining at Brierley Hill, and the takeaways of Kingswinford. Add Dudley College, Russells Hall Hospital and Merry Hill, and you have thousands of kitchens on the same inspection standard.
A deep clean is what a good rating stands on when the Dudley inspector calls. We go well past a nightly wipe-down - the surfaces, the equipment inside and behind, and the fabric of the room, from a grease-laden canopy over a Stourbridge range to the grout under a Brierley Hill kitchen - to the level an environmental health visit actually marks.
The inspection
The Food Hygiene Rating an officer awards a Dudley 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 Stourbridge range wall to the grouting in a Brierley Hill kitchen.
Your records and cleaning schedule - a documented deep clean gives you the dated evidence a Dudley EHO wants to see behind it.
The clean
Floor to ceiling and inside the equipment, across the range Dudley 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 Sedgley range to a retail-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 Dudley
We are in Dudley's kitchens every week. Real jobs, not a gallery of someone else's.
A community college kitchen in Dudley had light dust on the high shelving, grease splatter across the wall tiles and food debris in the baking ovens from the student classes. We cleaned and sanitised the walls, ceilings and non-slip floors, detailed the oven chambers and wet-wiped the stainless benches - done over the summer enrolment week while the teaching kitchens were inactive.
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 Wollaston handover or a new Brierley Hill opening, ahead of a busy season, or on a quarterly cycle so grease never gets the chance to build. A daily clean keeps a Dudley kitchen running; a deep clean resets it to the condition Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council's officers actually score - two different jobs, done by different hands.
How it runs
Walk the Dudley kitchen, agree scope and a slot around your service times.
Equipment and food areas safed off before work starts - important where a Sedgley 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 Dudley 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 Sedgley or Brierley Hill kitchen an environmental health inspection actually looks at.
Yes - from Sedgley and Brierley Hill to the suburbs, and across the wider West Midlands.
Yes - ranges, ovens, fryers, griddles, extraction canopies, fridges and cold rooms, plus the structure around them. Dudley kitchens span the full range, from a single Sedgley independent to a retail-scale production line.
Often. A documented deep clean resets a kitchen to a clean baseline for a new Wollaston opening, a change of operator or a Brierley Hill lease handover, with photographs and a schedule of work for the file.
It targets exactly what the council's officers score on the physical side - the condition and cleanliness of structure and equipment, from a greased Stourbridge extract to the grouting on a Brierley Hill line. It cannot change how you handle food, but it removes the build-up that drags a rating down.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, and across consecutive nights where a Sedgley or Brierley Hill site has to stay open. There is no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Yes - the canopy, its baffle filters and the visible run come with the deep clean, which matters most on a heavy Stourbridge line where the canopy carbonises fastest and the inspector looks first.
