About our kitchen deep cleaning in Caversham
Old, baked-on grease doesn’t come off with a wipe. We use cleaning methods that suit the deposit and the surface and the time to do it properly. Typical jobs include a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean and food debris trapped under the range, across fryers and grills, behind and under equipment and floors and floor drains.
Kitchens in a town like Caversham often book a deep clean alongside their extract clean, which keeps the disruption to a single night.
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 carry full insurance.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Caversham: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 133 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 27 takeaways and sandwich shops in Caversham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Daily cleaning keeps a kitchen tidy, but kitchens like these still need a periodic deep clean. In Caversham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Reading council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Hall and church kitchens, near Grace Church or anywhere around Caversham, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Hill Primary School or anywhere near Caversham, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Royal Berkshire Hospital, about 1.9 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Caversham.

The worst floor grime hides along edges and under the line. We pay particular attention there.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair
- Grease in the ducts above the kitchen
- Appliance breakdowns
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Walls and ceilings
- Floors and floor drains
- Fryers and grills
- Behind and under equipment
- Ranges and ovens
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Do not let debris build up behind the line
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Keep a cleaning log up to date
- Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
Equipment is put back in place before we leave so your team can start up as normal. Nothing special is needed after that once it’s back in service.
A regular plan means build-up never gets out of hand. Pairing them with TR19 extract cleaning covers the room and the system together.

Caversham questions
Can you work in Caversham outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Caversham needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in school kitchens around Caversham out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Caversham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 12 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?
Very little. Move food and loose items away from the areas being cleaned, and make sure we can get in at the agreed time.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. Let us know how to reach the roof or plant area at your site in Caversham, and where the van can go.
- First, we walk the kitchen with you and agree the scope.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why act early in Caversham
Environmental health visits are not always announced in advance. Build-up in hidden areas is the kind of thing inspectors notice, however good the daily routine. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen inspection-ready. With a fire risk assessment or inspection due, getting the work done first puts you on the front foot.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
