Deep Cleaning in Sparkbrook

Where grease and mould build up in Sparkbrook kitchens and bathrooms

Two different jobs share one postcode. In the terraced houses the trouble is a cramped rear kitchen with almost no through ventilation, where grease settles on cupboard tops, tiling and the cooker gap, plus a bathroom that never gets to dry out, with mould rooted into grout and sealant. In a restaurant kitchen the oil travels through the air before it lands, so it coats the tiling and ceiling above the range, the outside of the canopy and the floor, and a wipe round the visible steel touches very little of it. The supply reaching this city off the Elan Valley is soft, so limescale rarely comes into it. It is oil, and it is mould.

• Narrow rear kitchens in terraced houses, poorly ventilated, holding an oven nobody has opened up in years
• One small bathroom that rarely dries out, where a soft supply rules scale out and leaves mould in the sealant
• Ceiling and wall tiling directly above a restaurant cooking line, where aerosolised oil settles and then bakes hard
• Quarry and vinyl floors under the range, where oil, flour and spice residue bind into a film a mop only spreads
• The outside of restaurant canopies and the steel around them, where oil settles and dulls every surface

Kitchen first in a terrace, walls and floors in a restaurant

In a house we start in the kitchen, move to the bathroom, then work outwards room by room, and we finish in one day so the household gets the property straight back. Commercial work is planned around the trading day, inside our own hours: the outside of the canopy and the tiling and ceiling over the line first, then the prep surfaces and equipment fronts, then the floor and its drainage channel at the very end. We photograph the kitchen before and after, which gives you a record for your own files.

• Household resets completed inside one visit: kitchen first, then the bathroom, then every other room
• Canopy exteriors, tiling and the ceiling over the cooking line degreased from the top, before anything below them
• Floor and drainage channel degreased at the very end, once everything above them has stopped dripping
• Before and after photographs of a restaurant kitchen, so you have a dated record of the clean

Ladypool Road kitchens and the terraces behind them

The commercial half of this sits in the Balti Triangle and along the Stratford Road corridor. Visits run Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 6pm, and a kitchen that only trades later in the day can be cleaned from an 8am start and handed back before service. Our Selly Oak base in B29 is about twenty minutes away. The household half is scattered through the terraced grid around Christ Church and Farm Park, often forty feet from a working restaurant. Everything is on-street, so kit goes in at the kerb and the van is then moved off.

What sets the figure for a Balti Triangle kitchen or a B12 terrace

A household reset is priced as one fixed figure from photographs of the kitchen and bathroom, and it moves with the size of the house, the state of the oven and how far mould has rooted into the silicone. A restaurant kitchen is quoted on the wall and ceiling area around the line, the length of canopy to wipe down, the floor area behind the line, and how long has passed since anybody last cleaned it back to the surface. A first clean on a kitchen left two years takes noticeably longer than the visit that follows it, and the quote shows that from the start. Regular visits keep each clean shorter, which suits a kitchen far better than one heavy clean a year.

A yearly reset for the houses, quarterly for busy kitchens

Household deep cleans in this ward are usually annual, or bought at a turnaround, and on a small terrace that is a sensible rhythm. A busy Balti Triangle kitchen suits a deep clean of walls, ceiling and floor quarterly, with the daily wipe-down kept up by the kitchen in between. Somewhere frying continuously right through the evening is nearer a six-week cycle.
