Book kitchen deep cleaning in Abbey Field

How the job changes from site to site

Floors

The worst floor grime hides along edges and under the line. That is where we focus.

Canopy exteriors

The outside of the canopy collects grease and dust. We clean the exterior as part of the deep clean.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Abbey Field

Old, baked-on grease does not come off with a wipe. We use cleaning methods that suit the deposit and the surface and the time to do it properly. Typical jobs include grease stains on walls near the cooking line and a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean, across walls and ceilings, floors and floor drains and stainless steel surfaces.

Around a place like Abbey Field, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from Abbey Field

Do you work in school kitchens around Abbey Field out of term?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 16 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Abbey Field. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.

Can you come to Abbey Field after we close?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Abbey Field does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Which accreditations do you hold?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.

Will you tell us when the next visit is due?

Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.

Which sectors do you work in?

Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.

What is TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

Which records should we keep?

The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
  • Don’t let debris build up behind the line
  • Run the extract whenever the range is on
  • Plan the next deep clean in advance

Anything we notice during the clean, such as worn flooring or a dirty extract, is pointed out. It may need an extract clean or another trade.

Grease that is left only gets harder to remove. A deep clean now saves a much bigger job later, and keeps the kitchen ready for an inspection.

When to call us in Abbey Field

Daily cleaning focuses on the surfaces you can reach. Areas behind ranges and fryers, and high-level surfaces, tend to be missed so grease and debris accumulate there.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Build-up behind fryers and ovens
  • Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
  • Food debris that could attract pests
  • Floors with grease along the edges

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Michael's Church or elsewhere in Abbey Field, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Before booking anyone

  • When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered
  • If they look at the system before pricing

Questions to ask before booking

When something else is needed

Not every problem is solved by kitchen deep cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:

  • Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
  • Grease in the ducts above the kitchen
  • Equipment that is not working properly

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What the work covers

  • Stainless steel surfaces
  • Walls and ceilings
  • Fryers and grills
  • Floors and floor drains
  • Ranges and ovens
  • Behind and under equipment

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

The process

Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a place like Abbey Field, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.

  1. First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
  2. We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
  3. High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
  4. Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
  5. We finish the floors and walk round with you.

How to prepare

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Getting a quote

To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
