Questions from Crofton Park
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Crofton Park?
Kitchens in Crofton Park are inspected by Lewisham council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
Do you work at weekends in Crofton Park?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
We can. A TR19® extract clean and a deep clean fit well together and the whole space is cleaned in one go. The extract clean comes with a certificate and photo report.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
About our kitchen deep cleaning in Crofton Park
Grease that sits on a surface for long enough is hard to shift with daily cleaning. We use cleaning methods that suit the deposit and the surface and the time to do it properly. Typical jobs include grease built up on walls and ceilings and a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean, across floors and floor drains, walls and ceilings and stainless steel surfaces.
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 Park, the work is usually done overnight, between the last service and the first.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Crofton Park.
- We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
- We protect what needs protecting and make equipment safe.
- We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
- We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.

Getting ready for the visit

How to get a quote

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Write down what gets cleaned and when
- Clean behind movable equipment regularly
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
It’s easy to set the next date while we’re there. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind all year round.
Setting deep cleans on a regular cycle keeps the kitchen in good health. Combining them with extract cleans covers the room and the system together.
What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Crofton Park
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 food manufacturers and packers in Crofton Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Production areas need periodic deep cleaning too, high-level surfaces and equipment included. It’s Lewisham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Crofton Park. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Keeping a record of deep cleans and grease trap visits helps at inspection time. Night work is normal for London kitchens, and the kitchen is handed back ready for the morning.
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Crofton Park (the nearest hospital is University Hospital Lewisham, about 0.7 miles east), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service. Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Hilda or anywhere around Crofton Park, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Why act early in Crofton Park

London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

When to call us in Crofton Park
Food debris falls behind and under equipment. Combined with grease, it becomes the kind of mess pests like if it is not cleared.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- Food debris that could attract pests
- A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Stillness Infant School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

How the job changes from site to site
School and care home kitchens
Kitchens serving residents or patients need to keep cooking. We plan the work to fit.
Floors
Greasy floors are a slip hazard. Floors are done at the end, including under and behind equipment where it can be moved safely.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
