A processing line clean enough for an unannounced audit.
We clean food and beverage processing facilities across Scotland — dairies, bakeries, distilleries, breweries, meat processors, and packaged food manufacturers. BRCGS-aligned protocols, HACCP-critical control points, and audit-ready records.
Not a generalist. Not a franchise template.
A genuine sector-led protocol delivered by crews who know your regulatory landscape, your audit rhythm, and the cost of getting it wrong.
Food and beverage processing cleaning is the most regulated cleaning discipline in the industrial sector. Every protocol, every product, every audit trail is governed by BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety, FSA regulations, HACCP critical control points, and (for many sites) customer-specific technical standards from major retailers. Maundy Clean has spent over a decade inside Scottish food and drink manufacturing — from Speyside distilleries to central-belt dairies and Highland seafood processors.
Our food and beverage division operates a three-shift model covering production-clean (sanitation during changeovers), end-of-shift deep clean (full line sanitation), and periodic deep clean (weekly or monthly total-facility sanitisation). Every cleaner completes food-industry-specific training including HACCP awareness, allergen control, chemical residue management, and food-defence protocols. We use only food-safe, no-rinse sanitisers on food contact surfaces, and our chemical register is pre-approved by your technical team.
We understand the rhythm of food manufacturing: morning shift start 6am, mid-morning break, lunch, afternoon shift, evening shift handover, overnight sanitation window. Our crews work around all of it — production-clean teams are trained to work safely during brief changeovers, end-of-shift teams mobilise within 15 minutes of line stoppage, and periodic deep cleans happen over scheduled shutdown windows. Every task is logged against your HACCP cleaning schedule and audit-ready for unannounced retailer or BRCGS inspection.
The frameworks we work to.
Every protocol, every checklist, every audit trail — mapped to the standards your regulator expects to see.
Our protocols map directly to BRCGS clause 4 (site standards) and clause 7 (cleaning) — the same clauses your auditor inspects.
We operate to FSA regulations for food premises cleaning, including approved chemical lists and residue management.
Our cleaning schedule maps to your HACCP plan's cleaning-critical control points, with documented frequencies and verification audits.
Food contact surface sanitisers meet EN 1276 (bacterial) and EN 1650 (fungicidal) — verified by batch certification.
Every chemical carries a current COSHH datasheet. We use food-safe, no-rinse sanitisers on food contact surfaces, with documented rinse protocols where required.
Our cleaning protocols include validated allergen removal procedures for the 14 named allergens — verified by ATP swab testing.
Services we run for food & beverage processing.
A scoped bundle of services tuned to your operating rhythm — not a generic menu bolted onto your sector.
Food Processing Facility Cleaning
Full food processing facility cleaning — production lines, changeover sanitation, end-of-shift deep clean.
Cleanroom Cleaning
Cleanroom cleaning for high-care food production areas — HEPA-filtered equipment, gowning protocols, validated sanitation.
Disinfection Services
Whole-facility disinfection during outbreak response, post-shutdown recommissioning, or pre-audit preparation.
Floor Care & VCT Stripping
Production floor degreasing, anti-slip treatment, drainage cleaning, and epoxy floor maintenance.
High Dusting
Overhead structure cleaning — rafters, ductwork, light fittings, high-level pipework (critical for food-fall prevention).
Electrostatic Disinfection
Whole-area electrostatic spraying for rapid touchpoint disinfection between production runs.
The pain points you stop worrying about.
We've spent years inside food & beverage processing operations. These are the issues we get called about most — and the protocols we've built to eliminate them.
BRCGS audit at any moment
BRCGS audits can be unannounced. Our digital cleaning records and HACCP-aligned schedules mean you're never caught short — every task is time-stamped, geo-verified, and exportable to PDF in seconds.
Allergen cross-contamination risk
Allergen cross-contamination is a recall risk. Our validated allergen removal procedures cover the 14 named allergens, verified by ATP swab testing on every critical surface.
Production-clean during changeovers
Changeover windows are short — typically 30–90 minutes. Our production-clean teams are trained to work safely and effectively within those windows, without compromising sanitisation.
Multi-zone facility complexity
Food facilities have low-risk, high-risk, and high-care zones. Our crews are trained on zone protocols, use colour-coded equipment, and follow documented dirty-to-clean sequencing.
Food-defence protocols
Food-defence (intentional contamination) is part of BRCGS. Our crews are vetted, supervised, and never work alone in high-care zones. Chemicals are stored securely with documented issue logs.
Retailer technical standards
Major retailers (Tesco, M&S, Sainsbury's) impose customer-specific technical standards. Our protocols are adaptable to your customer audits — we've passed them all before.
From first call to first clean in 7 days.
A structured mobilisation that respects your operational continuity — no gap in service, no surprises in scope.
Technical site survey
Our technical account manager walks the facility with your technical manager and QA lead. We map zones (low-risk, high-risk, high-care), identify HACCP critical control points, and review current cleaning protocols.
HACCP-aligned schedule & quote
Within 5 business days you receive a written cleaning schedule mapped to your HACCP plan, a COSHH register pre-approved by your technical team, and a fixed monthly fee. Periodic deep cleans quoted separately.
Crew induction & mobilisation
Food-industry-trained crews are inducted to the facility, complete site-specific training (allergens, food-defence, chemical handling), and mobilise across production-clean, end-of-shift, and periodic teams.
Ongoing delivery & audit support
Daily cleaning, weekly QA walks, monthly KPI reports, quarterly review meetings. BRCGS audit prep included as standard. ATP swab verification on critical surfaces.
The difference is operational.
We don't win contracts on price. We win them on the things that show up in your audit scores, your staff feedback, and your bottom line.
BRCGS audit-ready, always
Every task is logged digitally against your HACCP cleaning schedule. BRCGS auditors can pull a full cleaning history for any line, any zone, any shift, in under 60 seconds.
Validated allergen removal
Documented allergen removal procedures for the 14 named allergens. ATP swab verification on every critical surface after allergen changeover. Recall risk minimised.
Production-clean specialists
Trained to work safely within 30–90 minute changeover windows. Production-clean teams mobilise within 15 minutes of line stoppage. Sanitisation never compromised by time pressure.
Multi-zone protocol expertise
Low-risk, high-risk, high-care — our crews are trained on zone protocols, use colour-coded equipment, and follow documented dirty-to-clean sequencing. Cross-contamination risk minimised.
Food-defence compliant
Vetted, supervised crews. Never work alone in high-care zones. Chemicals stored securely with documented issue logs. Food-defence protocols aligned to BRCGS clause 4.2.
Retailer audit-tested protocols
Our protocols have passed Tesco, M&S, Sainsbury's, Asda, and Lidl technical audits. We adapt to your customer-specific standards and provide audit support as standard.
Operators who'd recommend us.
"Maundy Clean has handled our cleaning for five years. BRCGS audits passed every year, including two unannounced. ATP swab results consistently in spec. Allergen changeover protocol is bulletproof. The technical account manager genuinely understands food."
"Distillery cleaning is specialist work — wood, copper, and heritage equipment. Maundy Clean's crews are trained on our specific surfaces, use the right chemistry, and our visitor centre looks immaculate for tours. Audit-ready records for every shift."
"Three food production sites, one account manager, identical protocols. Retailer audits (Tesco, M&S, Lidl) passed without major non-conformities since we switched. Allergen management is exemplary. The technical depth is impressive."
