Kitchen Deep Cleaning in Croydon
Kitchen deep cleaning across Croydon and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
- Grime behind and under cooking equipment
Kitchen deep cleaning in Croydon, done properly
An EHO looks at the whole kitchen, not just the worktops. Build-up on walls, ceilings and behind equipment is part of what they see. A thorough deep clean brings every surface up to standard before or after an inspection. Common call-outs are for grease stains on walls near the cooking line and a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean, across floors and floor drains, walls and ceilings and behind and under equipment.
Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. A grease trap that’s emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Croydon
Who inspects food businesses in Croydon?
In Croydon, it’s Croydon council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keep the dates of your last deep clean and grease trap visit with your food safety records, ready if an officer asks.
Can you work in Croydon outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Croydon can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

Are you fully insured?

Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What do you clean in a commercial kitchen deep clean?
Walls, floors, ceilings and cooking equipment, including behind and under equipment where it can be moved safely. The scope is agreed before the visit.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen, and we clear up before we go. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Croydon.
- We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Croydon
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.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Food debris that could attract pests
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Croydon University Hospital, about 1.7 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Croydon.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How we price kitchen deep cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
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.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between 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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Kitchen deep cleaning around Croydon
There are about 3 food manufacturers and packers within about 1.5 miles of central Croydon, 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. It’s Croydon council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Croydon. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day.
Where a church or community hall near St Andrew's, or anywhere in Croydon, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. School kitchens, at schools like Heathfield Academy for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Clean behind movable equipment regularly
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
If we spot anything that needs attention, like damaged surfaces or a greasy canopy, we tell you. That might mean a TR19® clean or a repair by another trade.
If you can see grime on the ceiling or behind the range, it’s time. Dealing with it now keeps it from spreading and attracting pests.
What the work involves, part by part
Walls and ceilings
The ceiling near the cooking line takes the brunt. We clean them along with the walls using methods suited to the surface.
School and care home kitchens
School kitchens can be deep cleaned during the holidays so the kitchen is ready when pupils return.
