About our kitchen deep cleaning in Addington
Daily cleaning keeps a kitchen running but some areas never get touched. Grease collects behind ranges, under fryers, on high walls and across ceilings. Our deep clean goes after every one of those areas while the kitchen is closed. The work covers walls and ceilings, ranges and ovens and fryers and grills, and common reasons people get in touch are preparation for an EHO inspection and a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. For a kitchen in Addington, the work is typically done overnight, between the last service and the first.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What the work involves, part by part
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens that serve fixed mealtimes need careful planning. We plan around their hours.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Food debris and grease in hidden corners can draw pests in. A deep clean takes away the food source and prevention is much easier than cure. In Addington, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Addington?
Ovens, ranges, grills and fryers build up baked-on deposits. A daily wipe-down doesn’t touch the hardened layers, so it builds up underneath.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
- Cooking equipment caked in carbon
- Signs of pests drawn by food debris
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Addington may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Addington
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Addington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day. It’s Croydon council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Addington. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Clean the floor edges, not just the middle
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Do not let the extract cleaning slip
- Wipe splashes before they harden
Floors are clean and dry by the time we’ve finished. Your team can come in and set up as normal at the start of the next shift.
A deep clean ahead of a busy period sets the kitchen up well, rather than trying to catch up afterwards.
Questions from Addington
Which environmental health team covers Addington?
In Addington, it’s Croydon council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work overnight in Addington?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Addington does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you clean behind fixed equipment?
Where equipment can be moved safely, we clean behind and under it. Not everything can be moved safely and we will explain what we can reach.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Addington
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
