Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ditchling
Think of a deep clean as a full check-up for the kitchen. We look in the places daily cleaning misses and hand the kitchen back ready for service. From there, the daily routine is easier to keep up. The work covers walls and ceilings, floors and floor drains and stainless steel surfaces, and people most often call us about a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean and preparation for an EHO inspection.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ditchling
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Ditchling and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Why act early in Ditchling
A greasy kitchen is a harder place to work. Greasy floors are a slip risk and sticky surfaces slow everyone down and more tiring. Deep cleaning gives the team a better place to work. With notice, the visit to Ditchling can be fitted around your bookings and events.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Ditchling: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ditchling?
In Ditchling, it’s Lewes council that carries out food hygiene inspections. 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.
Can you come to Ditchling after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Ditchling needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Ditchling in your area?
Yes. We cover Ditchling and the rest of West Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
Typically, a deep clean takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. A large or heavily soiled kitchen takes longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Do you need kitchen deep cleaning in Ditchling?
Every service sends grease into the air. Some is caught by the extract, but some settles on walls, ceilings and equipment. In time, it forms a tacky film that daily cleaning struggles with.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Floors with grease along the edges
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Ditchling (the nearest hospital is The Dene Hospital, about 3.8 miles north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Ditchling, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
- We finish the floors and walk round with you.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Ditchling
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ditchling. Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. Kitchens in Ditchling get their food hygiene inspections from Lewes council. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
A summer deep clean suits schools such as Ditchling (St Margaret's) Church of England Primary School, as the kitchen can be stripped back with no lunches to serve. Where a church or community hall near Ditchling Unitarian Chapel, or anywhere in Ditchling, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
