Commercial Kitchen – Before Cleaning
Grease, food residue, and clutter can quickly build up in a busy kitchen. Here’s how this commercial kitchen looked before Northern Star Cleaning carried out a full deep clean.
How Our Kitchen Deep Cleaning Process Works
A structured, step‑by‑step approach designed to minimise downtime and leave your kitchen inspection‑ready.
1. Site Survey & Quotation
We walk your kitchen, review equipment and structure, and agree the scope of work and timings in advance.
- Identify heavy‑use and high‑risk areas
- Discuss any access or gas/electric constraints
- Confirm out‑of‑hours window for the clean
2. Pre‑Clean Preparation
Equipment is powered down and cooled, and areas are protected where needed before deep cleaning begins.
- Cover sensitive controls and electrics
- Move portable items to create safe access
- Set up signage and slip‑risk controls
3. Deep Cleaning Phase
We work methodically through equipment, structure and problem areas using food‑safe products and degreasers.
- Cookline, prep, wash‑up and storage areas
- Floors, walls, ceilings and high‑level dust
- Canopies and filters to support TR19 regimes
4. Final Checks & Sign‑Off
Everything is reassembled, wiped down and checked before hand‑back, with documentation for your records.
- Supervisor inspection and snagging
- Job sheet and certificate of completion
- Recommendations for ongoing hygiene

Kitchen Deep Cleaning FAQ
Answers to common questions about our commercial kitchen deep cleaning service.
It depends on the size and condition of the kitchen. Most independents are completed in one overnight shift, while larger or heavily soiled sites may need additional time. We’ll confirm timings during your survey.
Yes, deep cleans are carried out when the kitchen is not in use. We typically work overnight or on closed days so your team can return to a clean, dry kitchen for the next prep shift.
We can coordinate our work with TR19 extraction contractors so canopy and structural deep cleaning align, reducing downtime and ensuring your system and kitchen are cleaned together.
Where safe and practical, we will carefully move equipment such as fryers and ranges to clean behind and beneath. Any fixed or gas-linked items are discussed in advance so we work safely with your own engineers if required.
