Kitchen deep cleaning in Bow Common

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.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Bow Common

Grease that sits on a surface for long enough is hard to shift with daily cleaning. Deep cleaning uses methods suited to the build-up and the time to do it properly. If you have baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills and greasy, slippery kitchen floors, we can help.

London’s sewers are known for fatbergs, built up from fat, oil and grease washed down drains. Regular grease trap cleaning keeps a kitchen in Bow Common from adding to the problem.

Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part

School and care home kitchens

Kitchens in schools, care homes and hospitals need cleaning that fits around mealtimes. We plan around their hours.

Cooking equipment

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

Kitchen deep cleaning around Bow Common

There are about 492 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 151 takeaways and sandwich shops across Bow Common and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them has corners the daily clean does not reach. In Bow Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tower Hamlets council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning.

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Paul's Way Trust School or anywhere near Bow Common, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Bow Common (the nearest hospital is St Clement's Hospital, about 0.6 miles north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When something else is needed

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
  • Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
  • Pests already in the kitchen

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on in Bow Common

  • Behind and under equipment
  • Stainless steel surfaces

How the visit works

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Expect the work in Bow Common to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.

  1. First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
  2. We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
  3. We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
  4. We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
  5. The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Getting a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

What affects the quote in Bow Common

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle

A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

What we need to know

What to send for a quote:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

  • A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
  • Build-up behind fryers and ovens
  • A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen
