Greater London · Commercial kitchen deep cleaning
Commercial kitchen deep cleaning in Barnehurst, Greater London
Kitchen deep cleaning in Barnehurst from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
- Floors with grease along the edges
- Preparation for an EHO inspection
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Don’t let debris build up behind the line
- Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
It’s easy to set the next date while we are there. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind all year round.
Grease that is left only gets harder to remove. A deep clean now saves a much bigger job later and keeps the kitchen in shape for an EHO visit.
How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Barnehurst
A good daily routine keeps the surfaces clean, but it does not reach everything. Grease collects behind ranges, under fryers, on high walls and across ceilings. A deep clean deals with all of it while the kitchen is closed. The work covers floors and floor drains, ranges and ovens and walls and ceilings, and common reasons people get in touch are a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean and a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. In Barnehurst, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually done overnight.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Barnehurst is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
- Equipment is switched off and allowed to 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What we’re called out for in Barnehurst
Cooking equipment collects baked-on grease and carbon. Daily wiping only deals with the surface and it thickens over time.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Food debris that could attract pests
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
- Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills
For schools such as Mayplace Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What paperwork you get at the end
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An infestation that needs specialist treatment
- Equipment that isn’t working properly
- A blocked or overflowing grease trap
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Kitchens in Barnehurst are inspected by Bexley council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
What does commercial kitchen deep cleaning cost?
We give you a fixed price after looking at the kitchen. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll arrange it and the quote is normally with you within one working day.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?
Yes, we can. We can plan both on the same visit or over consecutive visits, depending on the size of the job.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
