Food Factory Deep Cleans Before Inspections: Telford & Shrewsbury
Updated: 6 days ago
Food factories and production sites are inspected by environmental health officers and audited by customers and certification bodies. A day-to-day production clean keeps lines running, but before an inspection or audit many sites want a deeper, specialist clean of the areas a routine clean cannot reach. That is the work this post describes.
What the Clean Covers
High-level areas such as ducting, lighting, beams and the tops of equipment.
Behind and under fixed equipment, where residue and pests collect.
Walls, floors, drains and floor-to-wall joints.
Changing rooms, welfare areas and staff canteens.
Disinfection of the air and surfaces with NHS-validated technology that has an up to 99.9999% kill rate against over 260 pathogens, using a product that is food safe once applied as directed.
Working Around Production
Cleans are planned around shutdowns, weekends and shift changes, and the site's own hygiene rules, PPE requirements and permits to work are followed. Equipment is isolated by the client before cleaning begins.
Records for the Inspector
Every clean ends with a written record and photographs of the areas treated. That record can be shown to inspectors and auditors as part of the site's hygiene evidence.
Understanding Kill Rates
Disinfectants are graded on a log scale. A 99.9% product is log 3, which leaves 1 in 1,000 organisms alive. Log 4 is 99.99% and log 5 is 99.999%. The highest level, log 6, is 99.9999%, leaving only 1 in 1,000,000. Most household and supermarket products sit at the bottom of that scale. Specialist disinfection works at up to log 6, which matters wherever vulnerable people, children, patients or food are involved.
Where Specialist Disinfection Is Used
Schools, nurseries and colleges after an outbreak of sickness or flu.
Care homes and clinical settings dealing with norovirus or other infections.
Homes after a death, a serious illness or a hoarder clearance.
Offices and public buildings after a bodily fluid incident.
Properties affected by sewage, flooding or pest infestations.
Over 90 schools have been treated across Birmingham, Dudley, Wolverhampton, Telford and Shrewsbury, with 3,000+ rooms decontaminated. More detail is on the disinfection fogging page.
Fogging and Electrostatic Spraying
Two methods are used to reach every surface. Dry fogging fills a room with a fine mist that reaches the air, ceilings, behind furniture and other places a cloth cannot. Electrostatic spraying gives the droplets a charge so they wrap around objects and cover all sides of a surface. Used together after a manual clean, they give even coverage across a room. The post on electrostatic spraying and fogging explains the difference.
Treatments That Fit Around You
Most disinfection jobs are booked outside working hours, so schools, offices and care settings can reopen as normal. The team agrees access with the site manager, works through the building in zones, and leaves rooms ventilated. Every treatment ends with a written record of the rooms covered and the method used, which can be shared with public health, environmental health or an insurer. The emergency lines are open 24/7 for urgent outbreaks.
Working Across Shropshire and the West Midlands
From its base in Madeley, Telford, the team covers Telford and Wrekin, Shrewsbury and the Shropshire market towns, including Newport, Shifnal, Bridgnorth, Much Wenlock, Ludlow, Market Drayton, Whitchurch, Wem and Oswestry. It also works across Wolverhampton, Dudley and the wider West Midlands. Rural jobs are planned around access, parking and distance, so a village property gets the same response as a town-centre flat.
What Kind of Company This Is
Shropshire Expert Cleaners LTD does not do regular, standard, one-off or standard end-of-tenancy cleaning. Every job it takes on in Telford and Shrewsbury is specialist work, such as hospital-grade disinfection, after-death and trauma cleaning, biohazard cleaning, mould removal, and hoarder or house clearance.
Why Clients Trust the Team
Specialist experience since about 2009, working for councils, schools, landlords, solicitors and families.
NHS-validated disinfection technology with an up to 99.9999% kill rate against over 260 pathogens.
Over 90 schools treated across Birmingham, Dudley, Wolverhampton, Telford and Shrewsbury, with 3,000+ rooms decontaminated.

Emergency lines open 24/7.
Giving Back
The business supports its community too. Since 2022 it has given just over £30,000 of donations in items and services, and during Covid the team made frontline NHS workers' homes safe free of charge, leaving a card and chocolates behind, while still paying staff for those jobs.
