About our kitchen deep cleaning in Capstone
A good daily routine keeps the surfaces clean but some areas never get touched. Behind and under equipment, and high up on walls and ceilings, grease quietly builds up. A deep clean deals with all of it in one planned visit. If you’re dealing with a kitchen taken over in poor condition and a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Capstone, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still needs the occasional deep clean and its grease trap kept clear.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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 deal with it now?
For kitchens in Capstone, a deep clean can be planned around quiet periods. Leaving it until something goes wrong tends to mean a rushed, disruptive clean, often at a bad moment. In a small place like Capstone, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Commercial kitchens in Capstone
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 25 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 30 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Capstone. Every one of them has corners the daily clean does not reach. In Capstone, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Medway council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Restoration House is about 3.1 miles north-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings. For schools such as Hempstead Infant School, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally booked for the holidays. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Medway Maritime Hospital about 1.7 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out.

Capstone: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Capstone?
In Capstone, it’s Medway council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can school kitchens in Capstone be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Capstone, the Food Standards Agency lists about 12 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What does commercial kitchen deep cleaning cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we know what’s involved. You get a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?
Yes, and many kitchens do. We clean inside the extract system to TR19 while the kitchen around it is deep cleaned.
Will the deep clean disrupt service?
We book it for when you are closed. Deep cleans happen when the kitchen is closed, and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What the work involves, part by part
Behind and under equipment
Food debris behind equipment can attract pests. It’s one of the main reasons kitchens book deep cleans.
School and care home kitchens
School kitchens can be deep cleaned during the holidays so the kitchen is ready when pupils return.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Write down what gets cleaned and when
- Mop right into the edges and corners
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
Anything we notice during the clean, such as worn flooring or a dirty extract, is pointed out. That might mean a TR19® clean or a repair by another trade.
Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It 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. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Capstone knowing what to expect.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt does not fall on clean areas.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
