Newport · Hygiene
A full back-of-house deep clean for Newport kitchens - surfaces, equipment and structure - that stands up to an environmental health inspection and protects your food hygiene rating.
Newport
Newport City Council rates around 1,300 restaurants, cafes and canteens, and the number on the door is the first thing a customer checks.
Newport eats out across the city: the restaurants and cafes of Commercial Street and High Street, the dining at Friars Walk, the independents on Griffin Street and Cambrian Road, and the food of Maindee and historic Caerleon. Add the University of South Wales Newport campus, the Royal Gwent Hospital and Rodney Parade, and you have thousands of kitchens on the same inspection standard.
A deep clean is what stands behind a good rating when the Newport 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 Commercial Street range to the grouting under a Griffin Street kitchen - to the standard an environmental health inspection actually scores.
The inspection
The Food Hygiene Rating an officer gives a Newport 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 Commercial Street range wall to the grouting in a Griffin Street kitchen.
Your records and cleaning schedule - a documented deep clean gives you the dated evidence a Newport EHO wants to see behind it.
The clean
Top to bottom and into the equipment, across the whole range a Newport kitchen runs - not a wipe-down.
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 High Street 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 Newport
We are in Newport's kitchens every week. Real jobs, not a gallery of someone else's.
A maritime college training galley in Newport had hardened salt-air crusting over the high-level extraction hoods and carbonised vegetable fat lining the heavy-duty bratt pans. We worked high-concentration grease solvents in, hand-scraped the bratt-pan interiors back to bare metal and polished the external stainless, bringing the training kitchen back to the maritime catering standard. Access was arranged with the facility warden while the cadets were away on offshore training vessels.
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 Caerleon handover or a new Griffin 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 Newport kitchen running; a deep clean resets it to the condition Newport City Council's officers actually score - two different jobs, done by different hands.
How it runs
Walk the Newport kitchen, agree scope and a slot around your service times.
Equipment and food areas safed off before work starts - important where a High 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 Newport 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 High Street or Griffin Street kitchen an environmental health inspection actually looks at.
It depends on the kitchen - a small Griffin Street independent is usually a night, a retail-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 High Street or Griffin Street site has to stay open. There is no extra charge for out-of-hours work.
A schedule of the work done and before-and-after photographs, plus a record you can hand to a Caerleon landlord, an incoming operator or a council environmental health officer.
Yes - from High Street and Griffin Street to the suburbs, and across the wider South Wales.
It targets exactly what the council's officers score on the physical side - the condition and cleanliness of structure and equipment, from a greased Commercial Street extract to the grouting on a Griffin Street line. It cannot change how you handle food, but it removes the build-up that drags a rating down.
Yes - the canopy, its baffle filters and the visible run come with the deep clean, which matters most on a heavy Commercial Street line where the canopy carbonises fastest and the inspector looks first.
