Internal Deep Clean for Suffolk Fresh Ahead of Tesco & Morrisons Audit

Case Study: Internal Deep Clean for Suffolk Fresh Ahead of Tesco & Morrisons Audit

Delivering Results Under Pressure for a Trusted Food Supplier

At Aqua Force Commercial Cleaning Ltd, we’re used to high standards — but this project took it up a notch. Suffolk Fresh, a key supplier of tomatoes to Tesco and Morrisons, needed a full internal deep clean to prepare for their annual audit. With just days before the inspection and no room for error, they turned to a team they knew could deliver under pressure.

The Challenge

• Tight audit deadline: The audit date was locked in, and failure to meet hygiene expectations wasn’t an option.• Access difficulties: High-level beams, tight production areas, and delicate machinery all added layers of complexity.• Critical hygiene standards: While no specific certification was flagged, we treated the job as if prepping for a BRCGS-level inspection.• Comprehensive scope: The task list included:

• High-level vacuuming of settled dust

• Deep cleaning of walls, ceilings, and exposed steel beams

• Cleaning refrigeration fans, blades, and filters

• Floor machine scrubbing using safe, effective detergents

• Roof Vacuuming

  
  

Our Approach

With just 6 days on the clock, we deployed a 3-person specialist team and brought in:

• SkyVac system for safe, effective high-level vacuuming• Scissor lift for elevated beam access• Water-fed poles with pure water for spotless surface cleaning• Commercial floor scrubber for efficient ground-level results

We planned the job in phases, maximising productivity without disrupting operations.

The Outcome

• Audit passed successfully — Suffolk Fresh hit the hygiene standards needed to continue supplying major UK retailers.• Client confidence reinforced — Having previously handled their exterior cladding and filter system cleans, this job further cemented trust.• Internal hygiene levels raised — Our cleaning reached the kind of detailed finish that goes beyond “tick-box” standards.

Here’s what Suffolk Fresh had to say:

“Can’t recommend this business/team highly enough – worked relentlessly to deliver the standard required with excellent focus on achieving the detailed finish that we needed. We will be using regularly again in the future.”

Why This Matters
