Kitchen deep cleaning for sites in Coldharbour

Staff cleaning versus 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. Leave those to us.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Coldharbour

A good daily routine keeps the surfaces clean, but it doesn’t reach everything. Grease collects behind ranges, under fryers, on high walls and across ceilings. A deep clean deals with all of it while the kitchen is closed. If you’re dealing with food debris trapped under the range and signs of pests drawn by food debris, we can help, from ranges and ovens, behind and under equipment and walls and ceilings onwards.

Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. For a kitchen in Coldharbour, the work is usually done overnight, between the last service and the first.

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

For landlords and multi-site operators

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Part by part

School and care home kitchens

Kitchens serving residents or patients need to keep cooking. Visits are timed between meals or overnight.

Behind and under equipment

The areas behind and under equipment are where grime hides. We clean behind and under equipment wherever it’s safe to move.

Coldharbour kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 440 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 120 sandwich bars and takeaways across Coldharbour and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease settles behind fryers, under ranges and on high surfaces in kitchens like these. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. Food hygiene inspections in Coldharbour are the job of Tower Hamlets council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.

For a café close to Canary Wharf station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Poplar Hospital (about 0.6 miles north), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. School kitchens, at schools like Woolmore Primary School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

What happens if it’s left?

Grime behind and under equipment can attract pests. Cleaning it out removes what they’re looking for and prevention is much easier than cure. A building in Coldharbour may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.

Aftercare tips

Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
  • Do not let the extract cleaning slip
  • Deal with spills straight away
  • Do not wait for an inspection to book a deep clean

We finish with the floors and leave them dry and ready. Staff can get straight back to work at the start of the next shift.

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 drawing pests in.

What we do, step by step

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Coldharbour.

  1. First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
  2. We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
  3. We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
  4. Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
  5. The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.

How to prepare

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Common questions in Coldharbour

Can parking be tricky for a job in Coldharbour?

Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.

Which environmental health team covers Coldharbour?

The local authority for Coldharbour is Tower Hamlets 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.

What paperwork should we keep on file?

Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

Which accreditations do you hold?

Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Do inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is?

Yes, cleanliness of the premises is part of an inspection. No clean can promise a rating, but a deep clean puts the kitchen in good condition.

How much notice should we give?

For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

When can you do the deep clean?

Most deep cleans happen when the kitchen is closed, so the kitchen is ready for the next service. School kitchens are often done in the holidays.
