Leave it or put it right?
In Charlton, deep cleans can be fitted around the kitchen’s quieter times. Leaving it until something goes wrong tends to mean a rushed, disruptive clean, often at a bad moment. For a site in Charlton, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Charlton
The work runs from top to bottom. Ceilings and high-level areas come first, followed by walls, equipment and floors so dirt doesn’t land on areas already done. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before we start. The work covers ranges and ovens, behind and under equipment and floors and floor drains, and people most often call us about a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean and hardened deposits on kitchen equipment.
Every food business in London is inspected by its local council’s environmental health officers, and walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of the picture. Kitchens in Charlton often book a deep clean before or after an inspection.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What else we do in Charlton
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. 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. Expect the work in Charlton to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Questions from Charlton
Can you work in school kitchens in Charlton during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Charlton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 41 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.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Charlton?
In Charlton, it’s Greenwich council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you do the kitchen and extract together?
Yes. Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean and the whole space is cleaned in one go. The extract clean comes with a certificate and photo report.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is?
Inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is, including equipment. A deep clean deals with the areas daily cleaning misses, which helps you present a clean kitchen.
Kitchen deep cleaning around Charlton
Look up Charlton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 149 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 72 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Charlton, up to about a mile and a half out. The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule. Food hygiene inspections in Charlton are the job of Greenwich council’s environmental health team. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Hall kitchens near St Catherine Labouré or elsewhere in Charlton may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. If you serve passing trade near Charlton station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

The countryside around Charlton includes Gilbert's Pit.
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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy exteriors
Cleaning inside the extract system is a TR19 job. Many kitchens book both together.
Floors
Removing grease from the floor cuts slip risks and makes the daily mop more effective.
Common problems we fix in Charlton
Steam and condensation carry grease to ceilings and high walls. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip onto the area below.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- Grime in corners that pests could exploit
