Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Charing Cross

We clean from the ceiling down. Ceilings and high-level areas come first, followed by walls, equipment and floors so dirt doesn’t land on areas already done. Cooking equipment is switched off and allowed to cool first. We are often asked to deal with greasy, slippery kitchen floors and grime behind and under cooking equipment, across fryers and grills, stainless steel surfaces and behind and under equipment.

Across London, council environmental health teams inspect food businesses, and the cleanliness of the whole kitchen is part of what they look at. Kitchens in Charing Cross often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.

It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When it’s something else

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
  • Grease in the ducts above the kitchen
  • A blocked or overflowing grease trap

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Where we work

  • Ranges and ovens
  • Stainless steel surfaces
  • Floors and floor drains
  • Fryers and grills
  • Behind and under equipment
  • Walls and ceilings

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

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.

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.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • The number of sites or systems
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • A single visit or a regular plan
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What to send for a quote

We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:

  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Charing Cross: local notes

There are about 3,779 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 567 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Charing Cross, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease settles behind fryers, under ranges and on high surfaces in kitchens like these. In Charing Cross, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Westminster council. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach.

If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Charing Cross (the nearest hospital is Savoy Hospital, about less than half a mile north-east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. For a café close to London Charing Cross station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush.

Charing Cross is about 1 mile south-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Every kind of commercial site in Charing Cross, we can take on kitchen deep cleaning.

Charing Cross: your questions answered

Do you work at weekends in Charing Cross?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Charing Cross doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.

Which council inspects kitchens in Charing Cross?

Kitchens in Charing Cross are inspected by Westminster council’s environmental health officers. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.

Will you clean under the ranges and fryers?

Where equipment can be moved safely, we clean behind and under it. Some equipment is fixed or connected in a way that means it shouldn’t be moved, and we’ll tell you where that applies.

Are you insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.

Do you recommend a next date?

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, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.

Do we need to prepare anything before you arrive?

Very little. Clear food and loose items from surfaces, and make sure we can get in at the agreed time.

Which records should we keep?

Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.

Is Charing Cross in your area?

Yes. We work in Charing Cross and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

How the job changes from site to site

Behind and under equipment

Debris under the line is a draw for pests. It’s one of the main reasons kitchens book deep cleans.

Floors

Greasy floors are a slip hazard. Floors are done at the end, including under and behind equipment where it can be moved safely.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

The process

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Charing Cross.

  1. We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
  2. Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
  3. We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
  4. We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
  5. The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

How to get a quote

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Charing Cross

In Charing Cross and everywhere else, a working kitchen takes a hammering. Heat, steam, spills and splashes all add up on every surface.

What we are most often called out for:

  • Signs of pests drawn by food debris
  • Greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings
  • A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
  • Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills

Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Soho Parish CofE Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

Before you book anyone

  • When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
