Kitchen deep cleaning across Medway: what to expect
A deep clean is the kitchen’s full treatment. The hidden corners get as much attention as the obvious ones and hand the kitchen back ready for service. It’s a fresh start that’s easier to keep on top of. Common call-outs are for a kitchen that needs a clean start and a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean, across ranges and ovens, stainless steel surfaces and behind and under equipment.
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one.
- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
- We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
- Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.

Kitchen deep cleaning across Medway: local notes
Kitchens across Medway are inspected by their council’s environmental health officers, and the cleanliness of the whole kitchen, drains included, is part of that.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across Medway do not have to lose a day. Parts of Medway are on or near the coast, where salt air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings. Fans and cowls on sea-facing roofs are worth checking at every visit.
Gillingham: Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Medway Maritime Hospital (about 1.6 miles west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you run a kitchen in an older building near Gillingham, such as a historic house like Restoration House (about 3.3 miles west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
Why act early?
Grease on walls, ceilings and equipment is fuel close to the cooking. The longer it’s left, the more there is on top of what’s in the ductwork. Deep cleaning removes it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Do not wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Keep a cleaning log up to date
When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We walk round with you or your manager before we go.
Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How we price kitchen deep cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
What the work involves, part by part
Cooking equipment
Once the build-up is gone, daily cleaning is easier and looks better to an inspector.
Canopy exteriors
Cleaning inside the extract system is a TR19 job. We can do both on the same visit.
Common questions in Medway
Do inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is?
Yes, inspectors look at the whole kitchen. No clean can promise a rating but a deep clean gives you a clean starting point.
Will the deep clean disrupt service?
Most deep cleans happen when the kitchen is closed, so the kitchen is ready for the next service. For schools, the holidays are a good time.
Is Medway in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Medway, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?
Put food, utensils and small items away so they’re out of the way. Anything else we need, we will mention in advance.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
