Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Doleham
We clean from the ceiling down. Ceilings and high-level areas come first, followed by walls, equipment and floors so dirt does not land on areas already done. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before any work starts. The work covers behind and under equipment, ranges and ovens and stainless steel surfaces, and the jobs we see most are a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned and grime behind and under cooking equipment.
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.
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 are fully insured.

Questions from Doleham
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Doleham?
That is Rother council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Doleham. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Do you cover smaller places like Doleham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Doleham included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What does commercial kitchen deep cleaning cost?
No two kitchens are the same, so we quote once we know what’s involved. Kitchen deep cleaning is quoted at a fixed price, usually within one working day.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Should we deep clean before an environmental health visit?
Inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is, including equipment. Deep cleaning brings the hidden areas up to standard, which helps you present a clean kitchen.
Leave it or put it right?
In any kitchen in Doleham, the extract and the room it serves get greasy side by side. Cleaning one without the other leaves half the problem, so many kitchens book both. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Doleham rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Doleham can be planned properly.
- We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
- We make sure all cooking equipment is off and cool.
- High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
- We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
- We finish the floors and walk round with you.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Doleham
Daily cleaning focuses on the surfaces you can reach. Behind and under heavy equipment, high walls and ceilings rarely get the same attention, and that’s where the build-up grows.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen
- Preparation for an EHO inspection
- Food debris that could attract pests
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
If you run a kitchen in an older building near Doleham, such as a historic house like Durhamford Manor (about 3.9 miles north-west), older drains make a working grease trap all the more important.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
