Where food is made, there is no room for compromise.
Food processing facilities operate to the highest cleaning standards of any industry. FSA regulation, BRCGS certification, HACCP protocols, allergen control, listeria prevention, and customer audit requirements all combine to demand a cleaning regime that goes far beyond general industrial cleaning. We provide daily production-line cleaning, end-of-shift deep clean, weekly high-care zone sanitation, and full shut-down periodic clean for food manufacturers across Scotland. BRCGS-audit-defensible documentation, food-safe chemistry, dedicated food-industry-trained team.
More than just a tidy-up.
A genuine baseline reset for your home, delivered by people who actually know it.
Food processing is the most heavily regulated cleaning environment in the UK. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) enforces Regulation (EC) 852/2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs. BRCGS (British Retail Consortium Global Standards) certification is required by virtually every UK supermarket supplier. HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) protocols require documented cleaning at every critical control point. Allergen control requires validated allergen removal between product runs. Listeria monocytogenes prevention requires a documented environmental monitoring programme. Customer audits (Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, M&S, Waitrose) inspect cleaning records in detail. A cleaning failure at any of these layers can shut down a production line, recall a product, or lose a major customer contract.
Our food processing service is structured by zone risk profile. Low-risk zones (raw material storage, packaging, dispatch) require standard industrial cleaning. Medium-risk zones (peeling, slicing, mixing, processing) require food-safe chemistry, documented cleaning schedules, and allergen changeover validation. High-care zones (cooked product handling, ready-to-eat assembly) require full aseptic protocol — dedicated chemistry, dedicated equipment, dedicated team, listeria environmental monitoring, and full HACCP documentation. Each zone has different chemistry, different equipment, different protocols, and different documentation. Cross-contamination between zones is the single biggest compliance risk — we eliminate it through strict separation.
We work with meat processors, dairy processors, bakery manufacturers, ready-meal producers, seafood processors, and beverage manufacturers across Scotland. All operatives are food-industry-trained (HACCP awareness, allergen control, listeria prevention, chemical safety). We carry £10m public liability for food industry contracts (higher than our standard £5m), full employer's liability, and we name your facility on our policy as additional insured. We provide BRCGS-audit-defensible documentation — cleaning schedule, COSHH data sheets, HACCP protocol, allergen validation records, listeria environmental monitoring results, £10m liability. We have never had a client fail a BRCGS audit due to cleaning.
Every visit, room by room.
A baseline reset of your home's high-traffic zones — refined after the first three cleans to match your priorities.
Daily production-line cleaning
Production line cleaned between product runs and at end-of-shift. Conveyors, belts, guides, and contact surfaces foamed with a food-safe alkaline detergent, contact time, then rinsed with hot water at 82°C. Stainless steel surfaces squeegee-dried. Floors foamed, brushed, and squeegee-dried to floor drains. All chemistry food-safe (EN 1276 bactericidal, EN 13697 food-contact), no perfume, no taint, no residue after rinse.
End-of-shift deep clean
Full deep clean at end-of-shift: production line strip-down (guards removed, belts lifted where possible, guide rails detached), foam, contact time, rinse at 82°C. Vessels, hoppers, and pipes cleaned (CIP where installed, manual where not). Walls and ceilings in production zone spot-cleaned. Floors deep-foamed, brushed, squeegee-dried, then disinfected with a food-safe quaternary-ammonium sanitiser. Drains cleaned and sanitised — listeria hotspot.
High-care zone aseptic protocol
High-care zones (cooked product handling, ready-to-eat assembly) cleaned with a separate protocol: dedicated chemistry (no cross-contamination with low-risk zones), dedicated equipment (colour-coded — typically blue for high-care), dedicated team (no rotation with low-risk operatives). Full aseptic clean: foam, rinse, sanitise, contact time, final rinse. Listeria environmental monitoring — swabs taken post-clean, results within 48 hours. HACCP documentation.
Allergen changeover validation
Between product runs containing different allergens (e.g. nut product to non-nut product), full allergen changeover clean. Foam, rinse, dedicated allergen-removal chemistry, rinse, ATP swab test to validate removal. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) swab measures organic residue — pass threshold typically <30 RLU (relative light units). Validation result documented and attached to the production run record. Critical for allergen label accuracy and customer audit defence.
Weekly high-care & periodic shut-down
Weekly high-care zone deep sanitation: full strip-down, foam, prolonged contact time, rinse, sanitise, final rinse. Quarterly periodic shut-down: full line strip-down, deep clean of normally-inaccessible areas (under conveyors, inside guards, behind panels), descale of heat exchangers, deep clean of drains and drain chambers. Pre-arranged shut-down dates aligned to your production schedule. Multi-day option for major shut-downs.
BRCGS-audit-defensible documentation
Full documentation pack maintained on-site and audit-ready: cleaning schedule, COSHH data sheets, HACCP protocol, allergen validation records, listeria environmental monitoring results, ATP swab results, operative training records, £10m public liability. We provide a structured BRCGS audit prep session before any audit — we walk through the facility with you, identify any red flags, and fix them before the auditor arrives. We have never had a client fail a BRCGS audit due to cleaning.
Add-ons available on any visit: oven cleaning, fridge clean-out, inside cabinets, laundry folding, ironing, pet area sanitisation, window interiors, and more — all bookable from your client portal.
