What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. For a village or hamlet like Freefolk, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
- Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
- We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
- We clean the spaces behind and beneath the equipment.
- The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Related advice
Kitchen deep cleaning in Freefolk, done properly
Daily cleaning keeps a kitchen running but some areas never get touched. Grease collects behind ranges, under fryers, on high walls and across ceilings. Our deep clean goes after every one of those areas while the kitchen is closed. The work covers walls and ceilings, stainless steel surfaces and floors and floor drains, and people most often call us about grease built up on walls and ceilings and a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean.
For a kitchen in or near Freefolk, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are 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.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Freefolk
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Freefolk, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is prepared there, a periodic deep clean and a clear grease trap keep things in order. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Freefolk. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Having the dates of the last deep clean to hand saves digging for them on the day.
Hall and church kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Freefolk, are used by many hands, and periodic deep cleans and grease trap visits keep them in order.

Common questions in Freefolk
Can school kitchens in Freefolk be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Freefolk. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Freefolk?
Kitchens in Freefolk are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
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. We can quote from photos or a site visit, and you’ll get a fixed quote.
Is Freefolk in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Freefolk included.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Why it’s worth doing now in Freefolk
Environmental health visits aren’t always announced in advance. A kitchen with grime behind equipment and on ceilings is harder to defend even when the daily clean is good. Regular deep cleans keep the kitchen inspection-ready. It’s simpler to plan the work at Freefolk now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Signs you need kitchen deep cleaning in Freefolk
Kitchens in Freefolk, as anywhere, take a lot of punishment. Spills, splashes, steam and heat all leave their mark on every surface.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Preparation for an EHO inspection
- Grime behind and under cooking equipment
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
School kitchens, at schools like Testbourne Community School for example, typically have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Freefolk
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
