Kitchen deep cleaning in Bowmans, done properly
Every deep clean we carry out in Bowmans takes in the whole kitchen: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely as that’s where grease and food debris gather. Common call-outs are for food debris trapped under the range and a clean-up ahead of an inspection, across walls and ceilings, ranges and ovens and floors and floor drains.
Work in a smaller place like Bowmans is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Common questions in Bowmans
Can school kitchens in Bowmans be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 20 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bowmans. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Bowmans?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bowmans is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you clean behind fixed equipment?
Behind and under the equipment is where the worst build-up is, so we reach it wherever it’s safe to do so. We check what can be moved safely at the start.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
Yes, and it often makes sense. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 while the kitchen around it is deep cleaned.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen, and we clear up before we go. In a place like Bowmans, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
- Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Clean behind movable equipment regularly
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
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.
Old grease hardens with every service. Booking one sooner keeps the work manageable, and keeps the kitchen ready for an inspection.
What staff can safely do
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, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Worn or broken surfaces that cleaning cannot restore
- Blocked drains and grease traps, which are a separate service
- Equipment that isn’t working properly
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Floors and floor drains
- Ranges and ovens
- Behind and under equipment
- Fryers and grills
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Walls and ceilings
Bowmans kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 food manufacturers and packers within about 1.5 miles of central Bowmans. Factories and packing rooms need deep cleaning planned around production runs. Kitchens in Bowmans get their food hygiene inspections from Dartford council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
School kitchens, at schools like Wentworth Primary School for example, normally have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. For busy kitchens close to Crayford station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; West Hill Hospital, about 1.3 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Bowmans.

What affects the quote in Bowmans
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
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 we start.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Why act early in Bowmans
In any kitchen in Bowmans, the extract and the room it serves get greasy side by side. Cleaning one without the other leaves half the problem and that is why many kitchens plan the two together. A site near Bowmans that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
