Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Albourne
A good daily routine keeps the surfaces clean but some areas never get touched. Grease collects behind ranges, under fryers, on high walls and across ceilings. A deep clean deals with all of it in one planned visit. We’re often asked to deal with floors with grease along the edges and cooking equipment caked in carbon, across floors and floor drains, behind and under equipment and stainless steel surfaces.
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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Albourne questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Albourne?
In Albourne, it’s Mid Sussex council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you work in Albourne outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Albourne doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
What should go in our maintenance log?
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we know what’s involved. Kitchen deep cleaning is quoted at a fixed price, normally within one working day.
Leave it or put it right?
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. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A blocked or overflowing grease trap
- Equipment that isn’t working properly
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Albourne, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
- Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work

For landlords and multi-site operators

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
How we price kitchen deep cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
If you need kitchen deep cleaning in Albourne, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Albourne?
Cooking equipment collects baked-on grease and carbon. Daily wiping only deals with the surface and it thickens over time.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Food debris trapped under the range
- Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
- A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like The Dene Hospital about 2.9 miles north-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of insurance
