Gosport · Hygiene
A full back-of-house deep clean for Gosport kitchens - surfaces, equipment and structure - that stands up to an environmental health inspection and protects your food hygiene rating.
Gosport
Gosport Borough Council rates around 600 restaurants, cafes and canteens, and the number on the door is the first thing a customer checks.
Gosport eats out across the town and the Solent: the town-centre food of the High Street, the restaurant strip of Stoke Road, the marina bars of the Waterfront by the ferry, the seafront of Lee-on-the-Solent, and the cafes of Stokes Bay. Add St Vincent College, Gosport War Memorial Hospital and Privett Park, and you have hundreds of kitchens on the same inspection standard.
A deep clean is what a good rating stands on when the Gosport 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 High Street range to the grout under a Lee-on-the-Solent kitchen - to the level an environmental health visit actually marks.
The inspection
The Food Hygiene Rating an officer gives a Gosport kitchen rests on three things checked on the day, and a deep clean shifts 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 High Street range wall to the grouting in a Lee-on-the-Solent kitchen.
Your records and cleaning schedule - a documented deep clean gives you the dated evidence a Gosport EHO wants to see behind it.
The clean
Floor to ceiling and inside the equipment, across the range Gosport 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 Waterfront range to a seafront-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 Gosport
We are in Gosport's kitchens every week. Real jobs, not a gallery of someone else's.
A marina yacht club galley in Gosport had coastal salt-air damp mixing with galley grease into a sticky film over the stainless benches and the internal canopy filters. We stripped the extraction panels for a chemical immersion soak, scrubbed the walls behind and worked marine-grade anti-corrosive polishes over the benches, leaving the galley clean and shielded against salt pitting. We found a minor blockage in the main grease trap and flagged it to the commodore.
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 an Elson handover or a new Lee-on-the-Solent opening, ahead of a busy season, or on a quarterly cycle so grease never gets the chance to build. A daily clean keeps a Gosport kitchen running; a deep clean resets it to the condition Gosport Borough Council's officers actually score - two different jobs, done by different hands.
How it runs
Walk the Gosport kitchen, agree scope and a slot around your service times.
Equipment and food areas safed off before work starts - important where a Waterfront 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 Gosport 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 Waterfront or Lee-on-the-Solent kitchen an environmental health inspection actually looks at.
Often. A documented deep clean resets a kitchen to a clean baseline for a new Elson opening, a change of operator or a Lee-on-the-Solent lease handover, with photographs and a schedule of work for the file.
It depends on the kitchen - a small Lee-on-the-Solent independent is usually a night, a seafront-scale production kitchen several. We scope it on the walk-round and work around your service so you lose no covers.
Yes. We work overnight, early mornings or on closing days, and across consecutive nights where a Waterfront or Lee-on-the-Solent site has to stay open. There is no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
Yes - ranges, ovens, fryers, griddles, extraction canopies, fridges and cold rooms, plus the structure around them. Gosport kitchens span the full range, from a single Waterfront independent to a seafront-scale production line.
Yes - the canopy, its baffle filters and the visible run come with the deep clean, which matters most on a heavy High Street line where the canopy carbonises fastest and the inspector looks first.
Yes - from Waterfront and Lee-on-the-Solent to the suburbs, and across the wider Hampshire.
