Common questions in Cheriton
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cheriton?
Kitchens in Cheriton are inspected by Folkestone and Hythe council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you work overnight in Cheriton?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?
Yes, and it often makes sense. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 while the kitchen around it is deep cleaned.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Kitchen deep cleaning in Cheriton
Think of a deep clean as a full check-up for the kitchen. We look in the places daily cleaning misses and hand the kitchen back ready for service. It’s a fresh start that is easier to keep on top of. The work covers walls and ceilings, fryers and grills and ranges and ovens, and the jobs we see most are floors with grease along the edges and a clean-up ahead of an inspection.
Around a place like Cheriton, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning does not reach.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Cheriton, so let us know how to reach it.
- A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
- We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
- We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
- Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
- Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Fixed quotes for kitchen deep cleaning in Cheriton
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Want a quote for kitchen deep cleaning? Please call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Common problems we fix in Cheriton
Cooking equipment collects baked-on grease and carbon. A daily wipe-down does not touch the hardened layers and it thickens over time.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of All Souls or anywhere in Cheriton, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Cheriton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 food manufacturers and packers in and around Cheriton, up to about a mile and a half out. Production areas collect grease and dust on high surfaces and equipment, which a deep clean deals with. Environmental health officers from Folkestone and Hythe council inspect food businesses in Cheriton. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.
If you serve passing trade near Folkestone West station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks. If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Cheriton (the nearest hospital is Royal Victoria Hospital, about 1.3 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

What happens if it’s left?
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. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.

When it’s something else
