Why act early in Colindale
Grease on walls, ceilings and equipment is fuel close to the cooking. The longer it’s left, the more there is on top of what’s in the ductwork. Deep cleaning removes it. For a site in Colindale, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Colindale, done properly
A good daily routine keeps the surfaces clean, but it doesn’t reach everything. Behind and under equipment, and high up on walls and ceilings, grease quietly builds up. Our deep clean goes after every one of those areas in one planned visit. Typical jobs include a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen and grease built up on walls and ceilings, on floors and floor drains, fryers and grills and walls and ceilings.
London kitchens work hard in small spaces, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. For a kitchen in Colindale, the work is normally done overnight, between the last service and the first.
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 are fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. In Colindale, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- Equipment is cleaned inside and out, along with the areas behind and underneath it.
- We finish with the floors and leave the kitchen ready to use.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading

Commercial kitchens in Colindale
There are about 6 food manufacturers and packers across Colindale and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where food is made in bulk, a scheduled deep clean keeps high-level surfaces and equipment in order. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning. It’s Brent council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Colindale. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Colindale Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve.

If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Colindale (the nearest hospital is Edgware Community Hospital, about 1.3 miles north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.

Part by part
School and care home kitchens
Care home and hospital kitchens can’t close for long. Visits are timed between meals or overnight.
Walls and ceilings
Surfaces close to the range build up grease quickly. They get a thorough degrease, including the joints and edges.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Wipe splashes before they harden
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.
Visible build-up behind equipment or on the ceiling is a clear sign. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and drawing pests in.
