Kitchen deep cleaning near Addington

Between visits

How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
  • Clean behind movable equipment regularly
  • Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
  • Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed

Anything we notice during the clean, such as worn flooring or a dirty extract, is pointed out. That might mean a TR19® clean or a repair by another trade.

Old grease hardens with every service. Booking one sooner keeps the work manageable and keeps the kitchen in shape for an EHO visit.

Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Addington

Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: walls, floors, ceilings, and the equipment itself. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely, because that’s where the worst build-up hides. Typical jobs include grime behind and under cooking equipment and preparation for an EHO inspection, on stainless steel surfaces, behind and under equipment and ranges and ovens.

Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Addington.

  1. We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
  2. Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
  3. We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
  4. We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
  5. Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Move anything stored near the system

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Addington

Which council inspects kitchens in Addington?

That is Tonbridge and Malling council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Addington. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.

Do you work in school kitchens around Addington out of term?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Addington. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

Where does the waste go?

We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.

Will you clean under the ranges and fryers?

We clean behind and under equipment wherever it’s safe to move. Some equipment is fixed or connected in a way that means it shouldn’t be moved, and we will tell you where that applies.

What’s TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.

What’s included in a kitchen deep clean?

It covers the full kitchen, from ceiling to floor. You will know exactly what’s included before any work starts and it’s all in the fixed quote.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.

What staff can safely do

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Signs you need kitchen deep cleaning in Addington

Cooking equipment collects baked-on grease and carbon. Daily wiping only deals with the surface, so it builds up underneath.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Grime behind and under cooking equipment
  • Preparation for an EHO inspection
  • Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
  • A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned

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

Our hiring checklist

Kitchen deep cleaning in Addington: local notes

Food Standards Agency records include about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Addington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Kitchens in Addington get their food hygiene inspections from Tonbridge and Malling council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.

If you run a kitchen in an older building near Addington, such as a historic house like Old Soar Manor (about 3.9 miles south-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Addington (the nearest hospital is Maidstone Hospital, about 4.9 miles south-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Addington is about 7 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent.

Addington is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for commercial clients. Our Maidstone page covers sites nearby (7 miles or so).

What affects the quote in Addington

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:

  • How easy every part is to reach
  • The scale of the work
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • What state the system is in

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
