What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning

Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The condition we find in the survey

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Helping us quote

What to send for a quote:

  • The site address and the type of premises
  • A few general shots of the system
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Gallowstree Common, done properly

We clean from the ceiling down. High surfaces come first, then walls and equipment, then floors last, so nothing falls onto surfaces we’ve already cleaned. Equipment is switched off and left to cool before we start. We are often asked to deal with cooking equipment caked in carbon and food debris trapped under the range, on behind and under equipment, fryers and grills and floors and floor drains.

In rural areas, a kitchen may drain to a private system rather than a public sewer, and fat getting past a grease trap can cause real trouble there.

A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Warm, greasy air rises and settles on the ceiling. Over time, it stains and can begin to drip onto the area below.

Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Grime in corners that pests could exploit
  • A kitchen taken over in poor condition
  • Grease stains on walls near the cooking line

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

What staff can safely do

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Gallowstree Common: your questions answered

Who inspects food businesses in Gallowstree Common?

That’s South Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Gallowstree Common. Photos from a deep clean are a simple record of what was done and when.

Is Gallowstree Common within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

What should go in our maintenance log?

Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.

Do you recommend a next date?

Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.

How long will the kitchen be out of use?

That comes down to the kitchen, though a deep clean typically takes one overnight or weekend visit for many kitchens, longer for large sites. You will know before any work starts.

Can you clean the extract at the same time?

Yes. Many kitchens book a deep clean alongside their TR19® extract clean and the whole space is cleaned in one go. You get a TR19 certificate and photo report for the extract.

How do you protect the area?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

Part by part

School and care home kitchens

Care home and hospital kitchens cannot close for long. We plan the work to fit.

Walls and ceilings

Walls and ceilings collect grease carried up by heat and steam. We clean them from the top down, protecting the areas below.

Between visits

Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Run the extract whenever the range is on
  • Mop right into the edges and corners
  • Deal with spills right away
  • Don’t let debris build up behind the line

We finish with the floors and leave them dry and ready. Your team can come in and set up as normal when the kitchen opens.

A regular plan means build-up never gets out of hand. Combining them with extract cleans keeps the whole kitchen on track.

When it’s something else

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • Equipment that is not working properly
  • Pests already in the kitchen
  • A blocked or overflowing grease trap

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Ranges and ovens
  • Fryers and grills
  • Behind and under equipment
  • Floors and floor drains
  • Walls and ceilings
  • Stainless steel surfaces

How the visit works

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a single evening to more than one visit, depending on the kitchen. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Gallowstree Common before we set off.

  1. We look at the kitchen with you to plan the clean.
