About our kitchen deep cleaning in Gatcombe
A deep clean is the kitchen’s full treatment. The hidden corners get as much attention as the obvious ones and leave the kitchen ready to cook. It’s a fresh start that is easier to keep on top of. The work covers ranges and ovens, floors and floor drains and fryers and grills, and people most often call us about baked-on grease on ovens, ranges and grills and a kitchen taken over in poor condition.
For a kitchen in or near Gatcombe, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
A written report with pictures 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.

What staff can safely do
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

Which council inspects kitchens in Gatcombe?
The local authority for Gatcombe is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspection results feed into the food hygiene rating published by the Food Standards Agency.
Can one contract cover all our sites?

Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How much time does a deep clean need?
As a guide, it takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it. Bigger kitchens or heavy build-up need more time, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.

How the job changes from site to site
Cooking equipment
Baked-on grease and carbon build up on cooking equipment. We remove them using methods that suit the equipment.
Floors
A clean floor is safer for staff and makes daily cleaning easier.
What happens if it’s left?
Environmental health visits aren’t always announced in advance. Build-up in hidden areas is the kind of thing inspectors notice, however good the daily routine. Keeping on top of it with deep cleans is far less stressful. In a place like Gatcombe, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Pull out equipment for cleaning where it’s safe to do so
- Keep a cleaning schedule and record it
- Plan the next deep clean in advance
- Mop right into the edges and corners
It’s easy to set the next date while we are there. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind between inspections.
Small spills that bake on become hard deposits. Regular deep cleans clear them before they harden and protects the surfaces.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes several hours, depending on the kitchen and the equipment in it, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Gatcombe are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and the area is prepared.
- We work from the top down, starting with ceilings and walls.
- We clean the cooking equipment and the spaces behind and under it.
- Floors are cleaned last and the kitchen is left ready for the next service.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
