Cleaning inside the extract system is a TR19 job. Many kitchens book both together.
Behind and under equipment
The areas behind and under equipment are where grime hides. Where equipment can be moved safely, we move it and clean underneath.
Kitchen deep cleaning in Crofton, done properly
We clean from the ceiling down. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last, so nothing falls onto surfaces we’ve already cleaned. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before we start. If you have greasy, darkened kitchen ceilings and a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned, we can help, from fryers and grills, stainless steel surfaces and behind and under equipment onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. For a kitchen in Crofton, the work is usually done overnight, between the last service and the first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Kitchen deep cleaning around Crofton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 104 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 48 sandwich bars and takeaways in Crofton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Daily cleaning keeps a kitchen tidy, but kitchens like these still need a periodic deep clean. Environmental health officers from Bromley council inspect food businesses in Crofton. Grease behind equipment or on a ceiling is the kind of thing an inspection can note. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order. Fat from London kitchens contributes to sewer blockages, which is why grease traps need emptying on a schedule.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or anywhere around Crofton, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. If you run a kitchen near Orpington station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Crofton
Who inspects food businesses in Crofton?
Food hygiene inspections in Crofton are carried out by Bromley council. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.
Do you work in school kitchens around Crofton out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 10 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Crofton, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Will you clean under the ranges and fryers?
Behind and under the equipment is a key part of the job. If something cannot be moved safely we clean as far around and under it as possible.
Do you cover Crofton?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Crofton.
What happens if it’s left?
An inspection can come at any time. A kitchen with grime behind equipment and on ceilings is harder to defend, however good the daily routine. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen inspection-ready. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.

See our cost guide and how to check a contractor.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What we’re called out for in Crofton
In Crofton and everywhere else, a working kitchen takes a hammering. Spills, splashes, steam and heat all leave their mark on every surface.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grime behind and under cooking equipment
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
- Cooking equipment caked in carbon
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
Orpington Hospital, about 1.1 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Crofton; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
- Do not let the extract cleaning slip
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
Floors are clean and dry by the time we have finished. Staff can get straight back to work at the start of the next shift.
Old grease hardens with every service. Booking one sooner keeps the work manageable, and keeps the kitchen ready for an inspection.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Crofton is usually out of hours.
- We start by agreeing which areas and equipment are in the clean.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
