Kitchen deep cleaning across Bishopsgate

Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bishopsgate

We clean from the ceiling down. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last, so nothing falls onto surfaces we’ve already cleaned. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before work begins. If you’re dealing with signs of pests drawn by food debris and a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean, we can help, from walls and ceilings, fryers and grills and stainless steel surfaces onwards.

Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. For a kitchen in Bishopsgate, the work is typically done overnight, between the last service and the first.

We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What a clean will not put right

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • Appliance breakdowns
  • Pests already in the kitchen
  • Blocked drains and grease traps, which are a separate service

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

What we work on in Bishopsgate

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

Looking after it afterwards

How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
  • Don’t let debris build up behind the line
  • Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
  • Plan the next deep clean in advance

We finish with the floors and leave them dry and ready. Your team can come in and set up as normal at the start of the next shift.

Old grease hardens with every service. A deep clean now saves a much bigger job later and keeps the kitchen in shape for an EHO visit.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • The times the site is available
  • The condition of the system
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Helping us quote

A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Bishopsgate

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 55 food manufacturers and packers within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bishopsgate. Food production rooms build up residue on walls, ceilings and machinery that daily cleaning misses. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. Kitchens in Bishopsgate get their food hygiene inspections from Tower Hamlets council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.

Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like The London School of Barbering for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as London Bridge Hospital (about 0.7 miles south), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals.

Bishopsgate is about 1 mile north-east of London, in Greater London.

Common problems we fix in Bishopsgate

Warm, greasy air rises and settles on the ceiling. It darkens surfaces and can drip back down.

Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Food debris that could attract pests
  • A kitchen taken over in poor condition
  • A clean-up ahead of an inspection
  • A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean

If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Ethelburga or anywhere in Bishopsgate, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

Questions to ask before you book

Bishopsgate questions

Can the work in Bishopsgate be done at night or at weekends?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Bishopsgate doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.

Which environmental health team covers Bishopsgate?

Food hygiene inspections in Bishopsgate are carried out by Tower Hamlets council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.

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’re fully insured.

What does TR19 mean?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

What does commercial kitchen deep cleaning cost?

We give you a fixed price after looking at the kitchen. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll arrange it, and it’s typically back within one working day.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Is there anything we have to do beforehand?

Not much. Clear food and loose items from surfaces, and make sure we can get in at the agreed time.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.

How the job changes from site to site

Cooking equipment

Once the build-up is gone, daily cleaning is easier and looks better to an inspector.

Behind and under equipment

These areas are almost impossible to reach during daily cleaning so it’s often the dirtiest part of the kitchen.

How the visit works

Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Bishopsgate.

  1. We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
  2. We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
  3. High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
  4. We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
  5. The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.

How to prepare

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

How to get a quote

Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
