What we do, step by step

- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- Equipment is switched off and allowed to cool.
- We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
- We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
- We finish the floors and walk round with you.
Before we arrive

Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Chiltington
We clean from the ceiling down. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last, so nothing falls onto surfaces we’ve already cleaned. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before any work starts. The work covers fryers and grills, walls and ceilings and stainless steel surfaces, and people most often call us about signs of pests drawn by food debris and cooking equipment caked in carbon.
Work in a small place like Chiltington starts with agreeing a date and access.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy exteriors
Cleaning inside the extract system is a TR19 job. Many kitchens book both together.
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens serving residents or patients need to keep cooking. We plan the work to fit.
Why act early in Chiltington
The longer grease is left, the harder it is to remove. A kitchen deep cleaned regularly is quicker to clean each time, and surfaces last better. In a place like Chiltington, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We go round the kitchen with you to check everything is as agreed.
Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Keeping on top of them with deep cleans saves effort and protects the surfaces.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A blocked or overflowing grease trap
- Appliance breakdowns
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
