Multi-site and managed buildings

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.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

About our kitchen deep cleaning in Cliffe

Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. Where equipment can safely be moved, we clean behind and under it as that is where grease and food debris gather. The work covers walls and ceilings, fryers and grills and stainless steel surfaces, and the jobs we see most are grease built up on walls and ceilings and food debris that could attract pests.

Work in a smaller place like Cliffe is planned around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
  • Wipe splashes before they harden
  • Keep the extract running while you cook
  • Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed

Floors are clean and dry by the time we’ve finished. Your team can come in and set up as normal at the start of the next shift.

If you can see grime on the ceiling or behind the range, it’s time. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and drawing pests in.

Common problems we fix in Cliffe

Food debris falls behind and under equipment. Combined with grease, it becomes the kind of mess pests like unless it’s cleaned out.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • A kitchen taken over in poor condition
  • A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
  • Signs of pests drawn by food debris
  • Cooking equipment caked in carbon

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Thomas at Cliffe or elsewhere in Cliffe, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
  • What insurance they carry
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

What a clean won’t put right

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • The inside of the extract system
  • Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
  • An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on in Cliffe

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

The process

Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. In a smaller place like Cliffe, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.

  1. We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
  2. Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
  3. We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
  4. Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
  5. We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Find the previous report, if there is one

Ask for a quote

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning

The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:

  • How easy every part is to reach
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • The size of the system
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Asking for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Cliffe kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 19 pubs, bars and clubs in Cliffe and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Food hygiene inspections in Cliffe are the job of Lewes council’s environmental health team. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.

For busy kitchens close to Lewes station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing. A summer deep clean suits schools such as Priory School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

Common questions in Cliffe

Which environmental health team covers Cliffe?

The local authority for Cliffe is Lewes 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.

Can you work in Cliffe outside opening hours?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Cliffe needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

What should we do before the deep clean?

Just put away food and small items, and let us in. We will need the cooking equipment switched off and cool before we start.

Which sectors do you work in?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: 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.

How much notice should we give?

Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

Do you work in Cliffe?

Yes. Our technicians work in Cliffe, within the South East and London area we cover.

What the work involves, part by part

Cooking equipment

Ranges, ovens, grills and fryers are cleaned inside and out once it’s switched off and cooled.

Behind and under equipment

Food debris behind equipment can attract pests. It’s one of the main reasons kitchens book deep cleans.
