Commercial kitchens in Downside
Food Standards Agency records include about 10 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Downside. Wherever they cook, the kitchen and its drains need the same attention as a restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Downside are the job of Elmbridge council’s environmental health team. They look at the cleanliness of the whole kitchen: walls, floors, ceilings and equipment. 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 St Matthew's CofE Aided Infant School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. Where a church or community hall near St Michael's Chapel, or anywhere in Downside, has a kitchen used by volunteers, a periodic deep clean keeps it ready for the next event.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Downside
Old, baked-on grease does not come off with a wipe. We use cleaning methods that suit the deposit and the surface, along with the time and access a daily clean does not have. Typical jobs include a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean and a kitchen taken over in poor condition, on fryers and grills, behind and under equipment and stainless steel surfaces.
In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we are called out for in Downside
Cooking equipment collects baked-on grease and carbon. A daily wipe-down does not touch the hardened layers, so it builds up underneath.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
- A clean-up ahead of an inspection
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
Byfleet Manor, about 2.7 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses around Downside; event kitchens at places like that work in bursts, so a deep clean after a busy season helps.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Mop right into the edges and corners
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Don’t let the extract cleaning slip
- Wipe splashes before they harden
We put equipment back where it belongs so your team can start up as normal. Nothing special is needed after that once it’s back in service.
Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Keeping on top of them with deep cleans saves effort and helps the equipment last.
Common questions in Downside
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Downside?
Kitchens in Downside are inspected by Elmbridge council’s environmental health officers. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Is Downside within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Downside included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is it possible to book a deep clean with a TR19 clean?
Yes, we can. We can plan both on the same visit or over consecutive visits, depending on the size of the job.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
How the job changes from site to site
Cooking equipment
Baked-on grease and carbon build up on cooking equipment. They’re removed in a way that suits each appliance.
Behind and under equipment
Daily cleaning rarely reaches here, which is why build-up gets so bad.
How we price kitchen deep cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- An infestation that needs specialist treatment
- The inside of the extract system
- Worn or broken surfaces that cleaning cannot restore
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Downside
- Behind and under equipment
- Fryers and grills
- Ranges and ovens
- Floors and floor drains
- Walls and ceilings
- Stainless steel surfaces
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. For a village or hamlet like Downside, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- Ceilings, walls and high-level surfaces are cleaned first, working downwards.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- The floors are done last, then everything is checked with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
