How we handle kitchen deep cleaning in Digswell
Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: ceilings, walls and floors as well as the cooking equipment. Where equipment can safely be moved, we clean behind and under it as that’s where grease and food debris gather. If you are dealing with hardened deposits on kitchen equipment and build-up behind fryers and ovens, we can help, from floors and floor drains, behind and under equipment and walls and ceilings onwards.
Around a place like Digswell, deep clean work tends to mean pubs, cafés and school or care home kitchens. A smaller kitchen still builds up grease where everyday cleaning doesn’t reach.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Digswell
Look up Digswell on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 55 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Digswell, up to about a mile and a half out. Every one of them has corners the daily clean doesn’t reach. Environmental health officers from Welwyn Hatfield council inspect food businesses in Digswell. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Elizabeth II Hospital about 2.5 miles south, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you serve passing trade near Welwyn North station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Write down what gets cleaned and when
Once it’s deep cleaned, daily cleaning goes further. Keep on top of the daily routine, and the next deep clean is lighter work.
Old grease hardens with every service. A deep clean now saves a much bigger job later, and keeps the kitchen ready for an inspection.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- An infestation that needs specialist treatment
- Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
- Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Ranges and ovens
- Behind and under equipment

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Digswell
Can you work in school kitchens in Digswell during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 15 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Digswell. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can the work in Digswell be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Digswell doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
How long does a kitchen deep clean take?
Most deep cleans take anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen, including setting up and clearing away. We plan it to finish before your next service.
Can you clean behind fixed equipment?
We clean behind and under as much equipment as can be safely reached. If something can’t be moved safely we clean around it as fully as we can.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Digswell?
Steam and condensation carry grease to ceilings and high walls. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip onto the area below.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Harwood Hill Junior Mixed Infant and Nursery School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned.
