Kitchen deep cleaning across Barnet

Looking after it afterwards

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Clean spills while they’re fresh, before they bake on
  • Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
  • Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
  • Mop right into the edges and corners

When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We go round the kitchen with you before we go.

If you can see grime on the ceiling or behind the range, it’s time. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and drawing pests in.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Barnet, done properly

Old, baked-on grease doesn’t come off with a wipe. We use cleaning methods that suit the deposit and the surface, along with the time and access a daily clean does not have. If you have a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit and baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills, we can put it right.

Every food business in London is inspected by its local council’s environmental health officers, and the cleanliness of the whole kitchen is part of what they look at. Kitchens in Barnet often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Part by part

Walls and ceilings

Wall cladding and tiles around the cooking line get greasy fast. We clean them thoroughly including the corners.

Floors

The worst floor grime hides along edges and under the line. That’s where we focus.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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.

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.

How the visit works

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. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Barnet saves time on the night.

  1. First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
  2. Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
  3. Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
  4. The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
  5. The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.

Before we arrive

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice

FAQs for Barnet

Do you work at weekends in Barnet?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Barnet can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.

Can a school kitchen in Barnet be done out of term time?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Barnet, the Food Standards Agency lists about 36 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.

What paperwork should we keep on file?

Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.

Do you do the kitchen and extract together?

We can. A TR19® extract clean and a deep clean fit well together and the whole space is cleaned in one go. You get a TR19 certificate and photo report for the extract.

What accreditations do you have?

We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Which areas does a deep clean cover?

We clean the whole kitchen from top to bottom. You will know exactly what’s included before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.

What types of premises do you cover?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

When it’s something else

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Appliance breakdowns
  • An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Where we work

  • Fryers and grills
  • Behind and under equipment
  • Stainless steel surfaces
  • Floors and floor drains
  • Walls and ceilings
  • Ranges and ovens

Fixed quotes for kitchen deep cleaning in Barnet

We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • How big the system is
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • Site rules, permits and inductions

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Helping us quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Any previous report or certificate

To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Barnet kitchens: local notes

There are about 109 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 43 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Barnet, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. Environmental health officers from Barnet council inspect food businesses in Barnet. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. Most London kitchens cannot close in the day, so deep cleaning is normally done overnight.

If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Barnet (the nearest hospital is Barnet General Hospital, about 1.2 miles west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Grasvenor Avenue Infant School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you run a kitchen near New Barnet station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.
