Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Farringdon
We clean from the ceiling down. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last so dirt doesn’t land on areas already done. Cooking equipment is switched off and allowed to cool first. The work covers ranges and ovens, floors and floor drains and stainless steel surfaces, and people most often call us about a clean-up ahead of an inspection and a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are compact and run long hours, so grease collects behind equipment, on ceilings and in drains and grease traps. In Farringdon, deep cleans and grease trap work are normally done overnight.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Commercial kitchens in Farringdon
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 593 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 190 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Farringdon 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. It’s the City of London Corporation that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Farringdon. Walls, floors, ceilings and equipment are all part of what they look at. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record. Most London kitchens cannot close in the day, so deep cleaning is normally done overnight.
Hall kitchens near St John Clerkenwell or elsewhere in Farringdon may have older sinks and drains, so a grease trap check is worth adding to a deep clean. Half-term is a good time for school kitchens, at schools like Charterhouse Square School for instance, to have the grease trap emptied and the kitchen deep cleaned. If you run a kitchen near Farringdon station with long trading hours, grease builds up faster behind equipment and in the trap.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep the TR19 extract clean on schedule as well
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Do not let debris build up behind the line
- Repair worn surfaces that trap grime
Anything we notice during the clean, such as worn flooring or a dirty extract, is pointed out. It may need an extract clean or another trade.
Before a busy season or a big event, a deep clean gives you a clean start instead of chasing grime later.
How we price kitchen deep cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
How the job changes from site to site
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.
Behind and under equipment
These areas are almost impossible to reach during daily cleaning, which is why build-up gets so bad.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How much does a kitchen deep clean cost?
It depends on the size of the kitchen, the equipment and how much build-up there is. Send us pictures or details, or we can visit and give you a fixed price.

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
