Kitchen deep cleaning in Chatham

For kitchens in Chatham, we plan deep cleans around service. Most are done overnight, early in the morning or at the weekend so there’s no lost trade. Schools can book during the holidays. If you’re dealing with signs of pests drawn by food debris and cooking equipment caked in carbon, we can help, from walls and ceilings, stainless steel surfaces and behind and under equipment onwards.

High-volume kitchens in a place the size of Chatham build up grease where daily cleaning does not reach: behind ranges and fryers, on ceilings, in floor drains and grease traps. A periodic deep clean deals with what the daily clean misses.

We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Part by part

Floors

Grease builds up along the edges and under equipment. That is where we focus.

Cooking equipment

Ranges, ovens, grills and fryers are cleaned inside and out once it’s switched off and cooled.

Why deal with it now?

A greasy kitchen is a harder place to work. Greasy floors are a slip risk and sticky surfaces slow everyone down and more tiring. Deep cleaning gives the team a better place to work. Larger sites in Chatham are easier to manage on a planned schedule.

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Why Chatham businesses choose us

  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
  • Every visit written up, with pictures
  • We are fully insured
  • CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Multi-site and managed buildings

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

Signs you need kitchen deep cleaning in Chatham

Warm, greasy air rises and settles on the ceiling. It darkens surfaces and can drip onto the area below.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Food debris trapped under the range
  • Cooking equipment caked in carbon
  • A clean-up ahead of an inspection
  • A deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ the King or elsewhere in Chatham, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

Questions to ask before you book

What affects the quote in Chatham

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • The condition we find in the survey
  • How big the system is
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Where the site is and how we reach it

The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What to send for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

Kitchen deep cleaning around Chatham

Food Standards Agency records include about 13 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Chatham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Kitchens in Chatham get their food hygiene inspections from Medway council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.

School kitchens, at schools like Wayfield Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Medway Maritime Hospital, about 1.7 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Chatham.

How it works

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If a facilities team or managing agent looks after your building in Chatham, we can arrange access with them directly.

  1. We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
  2. Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
  3. Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
  4. Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
  5. The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Clear the space around the work

Advice

Common questions in Chatham

Can the work in Chatham be done at night or at weekends?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.

Can you work in school kitchens in Chatham during the holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 22 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Chatham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

What is TR19?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

Will you clean under the ranges and fryers?

We clean behind and under equipment wherever it’s safe to move. Some equipment is fixed or connected in a way that means it shouldn’t be moved and we’ll explain what we can reach.

What do you do with what you remove?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

How long does a kitchen deep clean take?

Typically, a deep clean takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. A large or heavily soiled kitchen takes longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.

How much notice do you need?

The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
