Kitchen deep cleaning in Reading: how it works
Our deep cleans in Reading cover kitchens of all kinds, whatever the size of the operation. We agree what’s included before the visit, and you get a fixed quote. Typical jobs include a kitchen taken over in poor condition and a clean-up ahead of an inspection, on walls and ceilings, behind and under equipment and stainless steel surfaces.
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites.
- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
- High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
- Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
- We finish the floors and walk round with you.

Commercial kitchens across Reading
In Reading, every food business is inspected by its local council, and a clean kitchen with a working grease trap is part of what they look for.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in Reading can keep trading.
Caversham: Hall and church kitchens, near Grace Church or anywhere around Caversham, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you run event catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Mapledurham House is about 3 miles west), a deep clean before or after the busy season is worth planning.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What kitchen deep cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen deep cleaning won’t do:
- Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
- Appliance breakdowns
- Pests already in the kitchen
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Fixed quotes for kitchen deep cleaning in Reading
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Part by part
Walls and ceilings
Surfaces close to the range build up grease quickly. They get a thorough degrease, including the joints and edges.
Floors
Kitchen floors collect grease, food debris and grime. We clean them last, including under and behind equipment where it can be moved safely.
Reading: your questions answered
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
Yes, and many kitchens do. We clean inside the extract system to TR19 and the kitchen gets its deep clean too.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Is there anything we have to do beforehand?
Very little. Move food and loose items away from the areas being cleaned, and make sure we can get in at the agreed time.
What is TR19?
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.
Which areas does a deep clean cover?
It covers the full kitchen, from ceiling to floor. You’ll know exactly what’s included before we start, so there are no surprises.
