Kitchen deep cleaning in Basted
A deep clean pairs well with a TR19® clean of the extract. We clean the extract system and the room it serves, so the whole space is done in one go. It can also be booked on its own, between extract cleans. The work covers stainless steel surfaces, behind and under equipment and ranges and ovens, and people most often call us about grease stains on walls near the cooking line and a clean-up ahead of an inspection.
Somewhere as small as Basted, the kitchens that need a deep clean are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Write down what gets cleaned and when
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Never cook with the extract switched off
If we spot anything that needs attention, like damaged surfaces or a greasy canopy, we tell you. That might mean a TR19® clean or a repair by another trade.
Before a busy season or a big event, a deep clean gives you a clean start instead of chasing grime later.
Commercial kitchens in Basted
Food Standards Agency records list about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Basted. Kitchens like these build up grease behind and under equipment, on walls and on ceilings. Food hygiene inspections in Basted are the job of Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health team. 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.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Borough Green Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Where a church or community hall near The Church of the Good Shepherd, or anywhere in Basted, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Different parts, different methods
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens serving residents or patients need to keep cooking. Visits are timed between meals or overnight.
Canopy exteriors
Canopy surfaces get greasy on the outside as well as inside. We clean the exterior as part of the deep clean.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Basted before we set off.
- First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
