About our kitchen deep cleaning in Dargate

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. If you are dealing with hardened deposits on kitchen equipment and grime in corners that pests could exploit, we can help, from behind and under equipment, ranges and ovens and walls and ceilings onwards.

In a village or hamlet like Dargate, commercial kitchens are few, perhaps a pub, a school or a care home. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.

It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site

Cooking equipment

Equipment collects hardened deposits. They’re removed in a way that suits each appliance.

Behind and under equipment

Food debris behind equipment can attract pests. Clearing it out is a core part of a deep clean.

Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Dargate?

Steam and condensation carry grease to ceilings and high walls. It darkens surfaces and can drip onto the area below.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Grime behind and under cooking equipment
  • Baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills
  • A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
  • A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen

If you look after a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael or anywhere in Dargate, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Dargate: your questions answered

Can you come to Dargate after we close?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Dargate can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Do you work in villages like Dargate?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Can you clean the extract at the same time?

We can. A TR19® extract clean and a deep clean fit well together, so the whole kitchen is done at once. The extract clean comes with a certificate and photo report.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What do you do with what you remove?

We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

What kitchen deep cleaning cannot fix

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Where we work

  • Behind and under equipment

Commercial kitchens in Dargate

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Dargate. Grease settles behind fryers, under ranges and on high surfaces in kitchens like these. In Dargate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Swale council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (about 4.5 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Hernhill Church of England Primary School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning

Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Any permits to work or inductions

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • A few general shots of the system
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. 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.

Keeping the system healthy

So the system stays in good health:

  • Wipe splashes before they harden
  • Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
  • Report damaged surfaces early so they can be repaired
  • Run the extract whenever the range is on

Equipment is put back in place before we leave, ready for your staff to check and start up. Nothing special is needed after that once it’s back in service.

Visible build-up behind equipment or on the ceiling is a clear sign. A deep clean at this point stops it getting worse and attracting pests.

How the visit works

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. In a small place like Dargate, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  1. A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
  2. Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
  3. Grease is removed from ceilings, walls and equipment.
  4. Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
  5. Floors are done last and the kitchen is ready to use.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
