Common problems we fix in Down Street
The usual end-of-shift clean covers what’s in easy reach. Behind and under heavy equipment, high walls and ceilings rarely get the same attention so grease and debris accumulate there.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen that needs a clean start
- Signs of pests drawn by food debris
- Grime behind and under cooking equipment
- Greasy, slippery kitchen floors
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Uckfield Community Hospital, about 3 miles south-east, is the nearest hospital to Down Street.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. The timing of a visit to Down Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
- Equipment is switched off and allowed to cool.
- We work down from the ceiling, cleaning walls and the canopy exterior.
- We clean the equipment and the hidden areas around it.
- The floors are cleaned and the kitchen is checked with you.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Worn or broken surfaces that cleaning can’t restore
- Equipment that is not working properly
- Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Stainless steel surfaces
- Ranges and ovens
- Floors and floor drains
- Behind and under equipment
- Fryers and grills
- Walls and ceilings
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the extract running while you cook
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Clean the floor edges, not just the middle
- Write down what gets cleaned and when
Many kitchens book the next deep clean before we leave. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind all year round.
Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease on walls, ceilings and equipment is fuel close to the cooking. The longer it’s left, the more there is, alongside the grease in the extract. A deep clean takes it away. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Down Street
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Down Street. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. In Down Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.
If you look after a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Andrew and St Mary or anywhere in Down Street, a deep clean between busy seasons is easier than a scramble before a big event. For schools such as Fletching Church of England Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are usually booked for the holidays.

Down Street: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Down Street?
In Down Street, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Will you come out to Down Street?
Yes. Down Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What should we do before the deep clean?
Not much. Move food and loose items away from the areas being cleaned and arrange access for the agreed time.
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
Yes, we can. Both can be done on the same visit or close together to suit the kitchen.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How much time does a deep clean need?
Typically, a deep clean takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. A large or heavily soiled kitchen takes longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
