How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Chailey
For kitchens in Chailey, we plan deep cleans around service. Most are done overnight, early in the morning or at the weekend, so the kitchen is ready for the next service. School kitchens are often done in the holidays. Typical jobs include grime behind and under cooking equipment and a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned, across walls and ceilings, floors and floor drains and stainless steel surfaces.
For a kitchen in or near Chailey, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chailey
An inspection can come at any time. Build-up in hidden areas is the kind of thing inspectors notice even when the daily clean is good. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen inspection-ready. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What you get with us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fully insured
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Chailey kitchens: local notes
Look up Chailey on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 food manufacturers and packers across Chailey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Production areas need periodic deep cleaning too, high-level surfaces and equipment included. It’s Lewes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Chailey. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Chailey, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Princess Royal Hospital, about 4.1 miles north-west, is the nearest hospital to Chailey.

What the work involves, part by part
Cooking equipment
Equipment collects hardened deposits. We remove them using methods that suit the equipment.
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens in schools, care homes and hospitals need cleaning that fits around mealtimes. We plan around their hours.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

What else we do in Chailey
When something else is needed

- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
- Appliance breakdowns

FAQs for Chailey
Can you get to a site in Chailey?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Chailey is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work in school kitchens around Chailey out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Chailey, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?
Yes. A TR19® extract clean and a deep clean fit well together and the whole space is cleaned in one go. You get a TR19 certificate and photo report for the extract.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
A typical kitchen takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it, including setting up and clearing away. We plan it to finish before your next service.
Should we deep clean before an environmental health visit?
A clean kitchen is part of what an EHO looks at. Deep cleaning takes care of grime in the places that are easy to miss, though it’s the daily routine that keeps it there.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. In a small place like Chailey, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- 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.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
We do not 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 start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What we are called out for in Chailey
Every service sends grease into the air. The canopy catches a lot of it but the rest lands on nearby surfaces. In time, it forms a tacky film that daily cleaning struggles with.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
- Preparation for an EHO inspection
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
- Food debris trapped under the range
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chailey St Peter's Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Chailey, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a written report and photos are included
