About our kitchen deep cleaning in Cotman's Ash
A deep clean is the kitchen’s full treatment. We look in the places daily cleaning misses and leave the kitchen ready to cook. It’s a fresh start that is easier to keep on top of. If you have a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen and a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean, we can help.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease on walls, ceilings and equipment is fuel close to the cooking. The longer it’s left, the more there is, alongside the grease in the extract. A deep clean takes it away. If the system at a site near Cotman's Ash fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Cotman's Ash
- Every job surveyed first
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Mop right into the edges and corners
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
Anything we notice during the clean, such as worn flooring or a dirty extract, is pointed out. It may need an extract clean or another trade.
Visible build-up behind equipment or on the ceiling is a clear sign. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and attracting pests.
Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Cotman's Ash?
Daily cleaning focuses on the surfaces you can reach. Areas behind ranges and fryers, and high-level surfaces, tend to be missed, and that is where the build-up grows.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Floors with grease along the edges
- Signs of pests drawn by food debris
- A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Saint Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Cotman's Ash, a deep clean and an emptied grease trap before a busy season of events are worth booking.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

- Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
- The inside of the extract system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen deep cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. The timing of a visit to Cotman's Ash is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- 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.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
