Services / Commercial Kitchen Remediation
A health department shutdown is not a cleaning problem. It is a remediation problem. We perform biohazard-grade top-to-bottom remediation with full before-and-after documentation for your re-inspection file. We come in. We remediate. We document. You open.
When a health inspector shuts down a food service establishment for severe violations including cockroach infestation, heavy grease accumulation, or pathogen contamination, the path to reopening requires biohazard-grade remediation. A standard cleaning company cannot do this. The health department will not pass a re-inspection based on standard cleaning. The documentation alone will fail.
Biohazard-grade remediation means: pest infestation treated as a pathogen contamination event, not just a hygiene issue. Grease is industrially degreased and removed, not wiped. Every food contact and non-food-contact surface is sanitised to commercial food-safety standards. And the entire process is documented with before-and-after records that the re-inspection officer can review.
We specialise in high-value commercial clients where downtime has direct and significant financial consequences. Branches of national food service chains, corporate cafeterias, hospital food facilities, and institutional kitchen operations receive priority scheduling, including outside standard business hours, to minimise the number of days the venue is closed.

Every element the health inspector will look at on re-inspection.
Years of baked-on grease in hoods, ducts, and behind line equipment is a fire hazard and a breeding environment for pest infestation. We use industrial-grade degreasers and pressure washing to lift accumulated grease from all affected surfaces. This is not a wipe-down. It is a full extraction.
Fire hazard removalPest infestation carries pathogens. Cockroach droppings, shed casings, and contamination from infestation pathways require sanitisation with commercial-grade products, not standard surface cleaners. Every surface, food-contact and non-food-contact, is treated. The sanitisation process follows commercial food-safety standards.
Food-safety standardBehind, beneath, and inside line equipment. Fryers, grills, ovens, refrigeration units, and prep surfaces. Areas that are routinely inaccessible during standard daily cleaning are the primary contamination sites during a health department shutdown. We pull equipment to access and clean behind it.
Full access requiredPhotographic and written documentation of the facility before remediation begins and after completion. This documentation is structured for use in your re-inspection submission. It demonstrates to the health inspector what was found and what was done. Without it, the re-inspection is your word against the previous inspection record.
Re-inspection criticalThe fastest path back to trading is a structured remediation process, not repeated failed re-inspections.
On-site assessment of the facility to determine the full extent of violations, identify all contamination sources, and establish the scope of remediation required to meet health department standards.
Full photographic and written record of the facility before remediation begins. This before-record forms half of the re-inspection evidence package and establishes a factual baseline for the work performed.
Top-to-bottom biohazard-grade remediation including industrial degreasing, biohazard sanitisation, equipment cleaning, and surface treatment. Priority scheduling available for high-value venues to minimise closure duration.
After-documentation confirming what was remediated and to what standard. Signed off by your authorised representative. Packaged for submission to the health department as part of your re-inspection request.
High-value food service operations where downtime has direct financial consequences.
National and regional food service chains where a closed branch affects revenue, brand reputation, and franchise agreements. Priority scheduling is available for chain operators who need to minimise closure duration across multiple affected sites.
Brand protectionHospital kitchen and food service facilities operate under heightened regulatory requirements. A shutdown in a hospital food service environment has direct patient care implications. We understand the urgency and the compliance requirements specific to healthcare food service.
Healthcare complianceCorporate cafeterias, university food services, and institutional catering operations serving large employee or student populations. A shutdown affects staff welfare and contract obligations. We work with facility managers and catering contractors to restore operations as quickly as possible.
