Commercial kitchen deep cleaning in Chattenden, Medway
Professional kitchen deep cleaning in and around Chattenden, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
Why it’s worth doing now in Chattenden
A greasy kitchen is a harder place to work. Greasy floors are a slip risk and sticky surfaces slow everyone down and less pleasant. Deep cleaning gives the team a better place to work. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Chattenden
Across Chattenden, we deep clean restaurant and pub kitchens, hotel kitchens, school kitchens and more, whatever the size of the operation. We agree what’s included before the visit, and you get a fixed quote. If you have a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen and grime behind and under cooking equipment, we can put it right.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

FAQs for Chattenden
Which environmental health team covers Chattenden?
Kitchens in Chattenden are inspected by Medway council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work in school kitchens around Chattenden out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 8 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Chattenden. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
We can. 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 paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Mop right into the edges and corners
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
It’s easy to set the next date while we’re there. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind between inspections.
Setting deep cleans on a regular cycle keeps the kitchen in good health. Combining them with extract cleans keeps the whole kitchen on track.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
What affects the quote in Chattenden
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For kitchen deep cleaning in Chattenden, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Chattenden
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Chattenden.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- The inside of the extract system
- A blocked or overflowing grease trap
- An infestation that needs specialist treatment
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Fryers and grills

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Chattenden
Food Standards Agency records list about 29 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways across Chattenden and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every one of them has corners the daily clean doesn’t reach. Environmental health officers from Medway council inspect food businesses in Chattenden. 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.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Chattenden Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as French Hospital (about 2.4 miles south-west), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (Restoration House is about 2.6 miles south-west), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
