Kitchen deep cleaning in Claygate, done properly

Environmental health officers inspect the cleanliness of the whole premises. Build-up on walls, ceilings and behind equipment is part of what they see. A thorough deep clean brings every surface up to standard whenever it’s needed. If you are dealing with food debris trapped under the range and floors with grease along the edges, we can put it right, from fryers and grills, behind and under equipment and walls and ceilings onwards.

Kitchens around a smaller place like Claygate are often in older buildings, with drains and grease traps that have been there for years. A blocked drain or a smelly grease trap is normally the first sign.

We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?

Grease on walls, ceilings and equipment is fuel close to the cooking. Leaving it adds to the fire risk in the kitchen, alongside the grease in the extract. Deep cleaning removes it. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Claygate than wait for a failure.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Claygate

There are about 58 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways in and around Claygate, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them has corners the daily clean doesn’t reach. Food hygiene inspections in Claygate are the job of Elmbridge council’s environmental health team. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time.

If you run a kitchen near Claygate station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Epsom Cottage Hospital about 2 miles south-east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of Holy Trinity or anywhere in Claygate, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

What the work involves, part by part

Floors

Greasy floors are a slip hazard. We clean them last, including under and behind equipment where it can be moved safely.

Walls and ceilings

The ceiling near the cooking line takes the brunt. They’re cleaned as part of the deep clean using methods suited to the surface.

When something else is needed

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Pests already in the kitchen
  • Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
  • Damaged flooring, walls or ceilings that need repair

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Behind and under equipment
  • Stainless steel surfaces
  • Ranges and ovens
  • Floors and floor drains
  • Fryers and grills
  • Walls and ceilings

What happens on the day

The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. For a place like Claygate, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

How to get a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards

How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Clean spills while they’re fresh, before they bake on
  • Clean behind movable equipment regularly
  • Keep a cleaning log up to date
  • Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping

If we spot anything that needs attention, like damaged surfaces or a greasy canopy, we tell you. That might mean a TR19® clean or a repair by another trade.

If you can see grime on the ceiling or behind the range, it’s time. A deep clean at this point stops it getting worse and attracting pests.

Fixed quotes for kitchen deep cleaning in Claygate

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Claygate

Can you come to Claygate after we close?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Claygate does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Which environmental health team covers Claygate?

The local authority for Claygate is Elmbridge council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.

Can you clean the extract at the same time?

Yes, and many kitchens do. We clean inside the extract system to TR19 while the kitchen around it is deep cleaned.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.

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.

Which areas does a deep clean cover?

A deep clean covers the areas daily cleaning misses, from the ceiling down to the floor behind the equipment. Equipment is cleaned inside and out.

How long does a kitchen deep clean take?

Most deep cleans take a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one including the floors at the end. It’s planned around your opening times.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
