About our kitchen deep cleaning in Crystal Palace
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 whenever it’s needed. If you are dealing with floors with grease along the edges and a kitchen taken over in poor condition, we can put it right.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, and grease builds up behind and under equipment, on walls and ceilings, and in the drains. For a kitchen in Crystal Palace, the work is typically done overnight, between the last service and the first.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Commercial kitchens in Crystal Palace
Look up Crystal Palace on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 237 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 138 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Crystal Palace. Every one of them has corners the daily clean doesn’t reach. Compact London kitchens collect grease in tight corners, which an overnight deep clean can reach. In Crystal Palace, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Croydon council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Where a church or community hall near St Paul's, or anywhere in Crystal Palace, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event. For a café close to Crystal Palace station, a deep clean can be done between closing and the morning rush. St Christopher's Hospice, about 0.6 miles east, is the nearest hospital to Crystal Palace; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean
- Run the extract whenever the range is on
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
Many kitchens book the next deep clean before we leave. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen consistently clean between inspections.
If you can see grime on the ceiling or behind the range, it’s time. A deep clean at this point stops it getting worse and drawing pests in.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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, next to our reports.
Why act early in Crystal Palace
An inspection can come at any time. Build-up in hidden areas is the kind of thing inspectors notice, however good the daily routine. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen inspection-ready. A booked night’s work in Crystal Palace costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

Crystal Palace questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Crystal Palace?
The local authority for Crystal Palace is Croydon council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Is parking a problem for work in Crystal Palace?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Is Crystal Palace in your area?
Yes. We work in Crystal Palace and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What’s included in a kitchen deep clean?
We clean the whole kitchen from top to bottom. The exact list is agreed when we quote, so there are no surprises.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Crystal Palace and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Crystal Palace is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
- We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
- We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
- We finish the floors and walk round with you.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Cooking equipment
We clean the cooking equipment itself, inside and out once it’s switched off and cooled.
Behind and under equipment
Daily cleaning rarely reaches here, which is why build-up gets so bad.
