- An infestation that needs specialist treatment
- Blocked drains and grease traps, which are a separate service

Kitchen deep cleaning in Dorking, done properly
Every deep clean we carry out in Dorking takes in the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings, and the equipment itself. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely, because that’s where the worst build-up hides. We are often asked to deal with a kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit and grime behind and under cooking equipment, on floors and floor drains, stainless steel surfaces and fryers and grills.
Grease traps fill up with fat and food scraps, and once it’s full, fat passes into the drains. Emptying and cleaning on a schedule keeps drains in Dorking running.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy exteriors
The canopy is one of the first things people see. Cleaning it with the rest of the kitchen leaves nothing out.
Walls and ceilings
The ceiling near the cooking line takes the brunt. We clean them along with the walls using methods suited to the surface.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Commercial kitchens in Dorking
Look up Dorking on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 59 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Dorking. The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. In Dorking, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mole Valley council. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
For schools such as St Paul's CofE (Aided) Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Headley Court (about 4.8 miles north-east), cook for long hours, so deep cleans and grease trap work are planned around patients’ meals. For busy kitchens close to Dorking Deepdene station, deep cleans and grease trap work can be done after closing.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. Photos taken on a phone are usually enough for us to plan a job in Dorking and give a fixed quote.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Appliances are switched off to cool while we protect the areas that need it.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt doesn’t fall on clean areas.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

How we price kitchen deep cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
Grease on walls, ceilings and equipment is fuel close to the cooking. Leaving it adds to the fire risk in the kitchen, alongside the grease in the extract. A deep clean takes it away. If an inspection, an insurer’s survey or a fire risk assessment is coming up in Dorking, having the work done and recorded first helps.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Your questions about kitchen deep cleaning in Dorking
Do you clean school kitchens in Dorking in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Dorking, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who inspects food businesses in Dorking?
Food hygiene inspections in Dorking are carried out by Mole Valley council. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Which areas does a deep clean cover?
It covers the full kitchen, from ceiling to floor. You will know exactly what’s included before work begins and it’s all in the fixed quote.
How long will the kitchen be out of use?
As a guide, it takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. A large or heavily soiled kitchen takes longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?
Yes, and many kitchens do. The extract is cleaned inside to TR19 while the kitchen around it is deep cleaned.
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.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
- Pay attention to corners and edges when mopping
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
Equipment is put back in place before we leave so your team can start up as normal. Nothing special is needed after that once it’s back in service.
Before a busy season or a big event, a deep clean gives you a clean start, rather than trying to catch up afterwards.
