I have been asked to clean a pub kitchen and would like some advice please.
I haven't looked at the kitchen yet, but I am obviously expecting it to be very greasy.

Does anybody else do this sort of cleaning? What methods / products / equipment are used and what sort of charges should I be looking at?

Any help would be much appreciated.

This could be kinda like what I had a look at.

They wanted, 'kitchen' cleaned, then it turned out they wanted the extractor fans and ductwork cleaned out. Which seemed far too complicated to me; you have to take things apart and use an acid wash and/or steam cleaner. And due to it being above the cooker, if you did something wrong it could cause a fire in the duct?!?!?

So, I said it wasn't something we do and ran off into the sunset.

It may not be like that though. If you do a search you should find something.

I think people use a heavy degreaser, something called 'carbon off' I think (which I presume takes the burnt crap off), may need a steamer and a wet pick up vac.

This is off the top of my head though so you're better to do a search. Hope I've helped, and not just rambled on?

Quick word of advice on this one, if you're not already cleaning any other industrial / commercial kitchens your insurance will probably not cover you. With our insurance you could clean the kitchen so long as you didn;t touch and fixtures and fittings... a bit pointless really! Who wants just the floor and walls done (slight underexageration, but you get the point). 

Basically before going anywhere near the job give your insurance company a call and run it past them... you never know, you may be fine but best to check!

I recently was offered a kitchen cleaning job that was too good to turn down.  The problem I had was getting advice and the right chemicals.  I eventually called VPI (I think that's the right name) in Edmonton North London.  Not only did they supply the chemicals at a great price, they delivered and talked me through the whole oven cleaning process etc.  Worth a try!

Have they got a website?

I would mirror the earlier advice given, you really do have to know what you are doing in the commercial kitchen sector, you have to be on top of Health & Safety, Hygiene Regs, and of course, proper valid insurance, you would be amazed at what a Fire Investigation Officer can discover!

You are also risking life and limb, as well as property if you get it wrong, like most areas of industrial cleaning, it takes proper risk managemnet, training and expertise, to do the job right and safely, regards,

There is a simple solution to this and it uses non-toxic, non-flammable solutions. There is no great science involved but it helps if you are backed by a company that has been doing it for over 17 years. If you want to know more contact info@cpuksouthwest.co.uk.
