Restaurant cleaning splits into front-of-house dining that must impress diners and a back-of-house kitchen that must pass a food-hygiene inspection. It also includes TR19 grease extract cleaning - a fire-safety and insurance requirement. OptusGlean covers dining rooms, kitchens, washrooms and extract systems with green-coded, COSHH-trained teams on one fixed monthly price.
What does professional restaurant cleaning include?
The scope spans front-of-house (dining floors, tables, bar, glazing, entrance and waiting areas), back-of-house kitchen (floors, walls, surfaces, equipment exteriors, extract canopy), high-traffic customer washrooms, and waste and bin areas. Kitchens are cleaned with the BICSc GREEN colour code reserved strictly for food-preparation areas, preventing cross-contamination with washroom (red) or general (blue) cloths and equipment.
Why does the kitchen need a TR19 grease extract clean?
Grease building up inside kitchen extract ductwork is a serious fire risk, and insurers increasingly require compliance with BESA’s TR19 Grease standard. Grease deposits must not exceed a mean average of 200 microns between cleans, verified by Deposit Thickness Tests, with before/after photos and a hygiene certificate issued (BESA). Non-compliance can see a fire claim denied. Our TR19 kitchen extract cleaning is documented and certificated.
How do you protect a food-hygiene rating?
Environmental Health Officers score cleanliness as part of the Food Hygiene Rating. We work to a documented kitchen clean-down and periodic deep-clean schedule, manage cleaning chemicals under COSHH (an SDS is not itself a risk assessment - HSE), and keep colour-coded equipment segregated. Nightly and periodic deep cleans target the areas EHOs check: behind and under equipment, extract, walls and floor junctions.
Front-of-house cleaning that protects the diner experience
Diners judge a restaurant on the floor, the table and the washroom. We deliver spotless dining floors, sanitised tables and touch points, clean glazing and a well-stocked, fresh-smelling washroom - cleaned before service or overnight so the restaurant opens immaculate. Periodic deep cleans handle upholstery, high-level dusting and detailed work.
Fixed monthly pricing for single sites and groups
OptusGlean prices every contract as a single fixed monthly fee paid by Direct Debit - never an hourly rate that drifts. The fee is built from the specification agreed at your free site survey, and it already accounts for the wage floor (National Living Wage £12.71/hr from April 2026, or the real Living Wage of £13.45 UK / £14.80 London where a contract requires it), employer’s NI, holiday pay, supervision, consumables, insurance and management. VAT is added at the standard 20%. TR19 extract cleaning is scheduled at the frequency your usage and insurer require. Every OptusGlean operative is directly employed on PAYE and vetted before their first shift. We DBS-check operatives in England and Wales, and apply the equivalent PVG (Disclosure Scotland) and AccessNI checks in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Where a site involves regulated activity with children or vulnerable adults, an Enhanced DBS (currently £49.50, gov.uk) is used. We never sub-contract to unvetted labour.
