Kitchen deep cleaning in Ditton, done properly
Old, baked-on grease doesn’t come off with a wipe. We use cleaning methods that suit the deposit and the surface and the time to do it properly. The work covers behind and under equipment, walls and ceilings and fryers and grills, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean and a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit.
For a kitchen near Ditton, deep cleans are booked around opening hours, often on a closed day, and the journey is planned ahead.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Why act early in Ditton
In Ditton, deep cleans can be fitted around the kitchen’s quieter times. Leaving it until something goes wrong tends to mean a rushed, disruptive clean, often at a bad moment. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Ditton than wait for a failure.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Clean behind movable equipment regularly
We put equipment back where it belongs, ready for your staff to check and start up. There’s nothing extra to do from then on.
Setting deep cleans on a regular cycle keeps the kitchen in good health. Combining them with extract cleans covers the room and the system together.
Ditton kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 28 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 19 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ditton. The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. Food hygiene inspections in Ditton are the job of Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health team. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Ditton Infant School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Maidstone Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Ditton.

How the job changes from site to site
Floors
The worst floor grime hides along edges and under the line. That’s where we focus.
Cooking equipment
Ranges, ovens, grills and fryers are cleaned inside and out, with each piece switched off and cool first.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by kitchen deep cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- An active pest infestation, which needs a pest control contractor
- Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
