What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
About our kitchen deep cleaning in Chilham
Environmental health officers inspect the cleanliness of the whole premises. Greasy walls, dirty ceilings and grime behind equipment all count. A deep clean puts the whole kitchen in good order whenever it’s needed. Typical jobs include preparation for an EHO inspection and a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean, on walls and ceilings, stainless steel surfaces and behind and under equipment.
In a village or hamlet like Chilham, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as 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 we’re called out for in Chilham
When the kitchen is flat out, cleaning shrinks to the basics. Weeks of that, wherever the kitchen is in Chilham, let grime build behind and above the equipment.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
- Food debris that could attract pests
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Kent and Canterbury Hospital, about 5.3 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Chilham.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What happens if it’s left?
In Chilham, as elsewhere, grease does not stay in one place. Cleaning one without the other leaves half the problem, so many kitchens book both. Somewhere as small as Chilham, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Chilham.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Chilham: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Chilham?
The local authority for Chilham is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you work overnight in Chilham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Chilham can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What’s included in a kitchen deep clean?
It takes in the places daily cleaning does not reach, from the ceiling down to the floor behind the equipment. The cooking equipment is cleaned too.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you work in Chilham?
Yes. Our technicians work in Chilham, within the South East and London area we cover.
How long does a kitchen deep clean take?
The kitchen’s size and equipment decide it, though a deep clean typically takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. You will know before any work starts.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
- Wipe splashes before they harden
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Keep the extract running while you cook
We put equipment back where it belongs so your team can start up as normal. Nothing special is needed after that from then on.
Grease that is left only gets harder to remove. A deep clean now saves a much bigger job later and keeps the kitchen in shape for an EHO visit.
