Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cooksbridge
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 deep clean puts the whole kitchen in good order before or after an inspection. We are often asked to deal with hardened deposits on kitchen equipment and a kitchen taken over in poor condition, on fryers and grills, stainless steel surfaces and behind and under equipment.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

When to call us in Cooksbridge
The usual end-of-shift clean covers what’s in easy reach. Behind and under heavy equipment, high walls and ceilings rarely get the same attention so grease and debris accumulate there.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
- Food debris trapped under the range
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
Lewes Victoria Hospital, about 2 miles south, is the nearest hospital to Cooksbridge; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Cooksbridge: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Cooksbridge?
Food hygiene inspections in Cooksbridge are carried out by Lewes council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Do you work in villages like Cooksbridge?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Cooksbridge is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Can you clean behind fixed equipment?
Behind and under the equipment is a key part of the job. Where an item is fixed we clean around it as fully as we can.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
When can you do the deep clean?
It’s timed for when the kitchen isn’t cooking. Deep cleans happen when the kitchen is closed and leave the kitchen ready for the next shift.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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, alongside our reports.

What else we do in Cooksbridge
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Clean spills while they’re fresh, before they bake on
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Never cook with the extract switched off
Many kitchens book the next deep clean before we leave. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen consistently clean all year round.
Visible build-up behind equipment or on the ceiling is a clear sign. A deep clean at this point stops it getting worse and attracting pests.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy exteriors
Canopy surfaces get greasy on the outside as well as inside. We clean the exterior as part of the deep clean.
Floors
The worst floor grime hides along edges and under the line. We pay particular attention there.
How it works
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 it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Cooksbridge.
- First, we agree what’s being cleaned and when.
- Equipment is switched off and allowed to cool.
- High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
- Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
