Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Downton
In Downton, we fit deep cleans around the hours the kitchen cooks. Most are done overnight, early in the morning or at the weekend, so the kitchen is ready for the next service. Schools can book during the holidays. Typical jobs include a new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen and a kitchen clean booked with the extract clean, across fryers and grills, behind and under equipment and floors and floor drains.
Somewhere as small as Downton, the kitchens that need a deep clean are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Wherever there is one, it needs its grease trap and hard-to-reach areas kept clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Different parts, different methods
Behind and under equipment
Behind and beneath the cooking line, grease and food debris collect. Where equipment can be moved safely, we move it and clean underneath.
Walls and ceilings
Wall cladding and tiles around the cooking line get greasy fast. We clean them thoroughly including the corners.
What happens if it’s left?
Built-up grease around the cooking line is something that can burn. Leaving it adds to the fire risk in the kitchen on top of what’s in the ductwork. Deep cleaning removes it. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Downton questions
Can the work in Downton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Downton doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Downton?
Yes, Downton is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will a deep clean help with an EHO inspection?
Inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is, including equipment. Deep cleaning brings the hidden areas up to standard so the whole kitchen is in good order.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
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 types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Downton
The Food Standards Agency lists about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses in Downton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. Kitchens in Downton get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. A record of each deep clean helps show the kitchen is kept in order.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Downton, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order. Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 3.7 miles north-east, is the nearest hospital to Downton; healthcare kitchens cannot stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Deal with spills straight away
- Pair kitchen deep cleans with extract cleans
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
When we leave, the kitchen is ready to cook. We go round the kitchen with you before we go.
Splashes left on hot surfaces bake on. Keeping on top of them with deep cleans saves effort and protects the surfaces.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, which is where we come in.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Downton.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

What affects the quote in Downton
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
