Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Blackheath
We clean from the ceiling down. Ceilings and high-level areas come first, followed by walls, equipment and floors so dirt does not land on areas already done. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before we start. Common call-outs are for grease built up on walls and ceilings and a kitchen taken over in poor condition, across behind and under equipment, stainless steel surfaces and floors and floor drains.
Across London, council environmental health teams inspect food businesses, and the cleanliness of the whole kitchen is part of what they look at. A deep clean ahead of an inspection, or after one, is a common reason kitchens in Blackheath get in touch.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Blackheath
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 18 food manufacturers and packers in and around Blackheath, up to about a mile and a half out. Production areas collect grease and dust on high surfaces and equipment, which a deep clean deals with. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day. Food hygiene inspections in Blackheath are the job of Lewisham 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Greenwich District Hospital about 1.1 miles north, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as All Saints' Church of England Primary School Blackheath or anywhere near Blackheath, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
What happens if it’s left?
Staff notice when a kitchen is grimy. Greasy floors are a slip risk and sticky surfaces slow everyone down and less pleasant. Deep cleaning gives the team a better place to work. In Blackheath, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Blackheath: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Blackheath?
In Blackheath, it’s Lewisham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
How do you handle parking and loading in Blackheath?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Can you clean behind fixed equipment?
We clean behind and under equipment wherever it’s safe to move. Not everything can be moved safely, and we’ll tell you where that applies.
When can you do the deep clean?
We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the kitchen is ready for the next service. School kitchens are often done in the holidays.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you do the kitchen and extract together?
Yes, and it often makes sense. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 and the kitchen gets its deep clean too.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

What else we do in Blackheath
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Blackheath is typically out of hours.
- We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
- Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
- We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
- We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
- The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Blackheath
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
