Canopy exteriors

A clean canopy shows right away. Cleaning it with the rest of the kitchen finishes the job properly.

Kitchens that serve fixed mealtimes need careful planning. We work outside meal service.

Kitchen deep cleaning in Gravel Castle, done properly

A good daily routine keeps the surfaces clean, but it does not reach everything. Grease collects behind ranges, under fryers, on high walls and across ceilings. A deep clean deals with all of it while the kitchen is closed. The work covers stainless steel surfaces, fryers and grills and behind and under equipment, and people most often call us about a deep clean to go alongside a TR19 extract clean and grease stains on walls near the cooking line.

Rural kitchens may drain to a septic tank or a private drain rather than straight into a public sewer, so keeping fat out with a working grease trap matters even more.

Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When something else is needed

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • Worn or broken surfaces that cleaning can’t restore
  • Equipment that isn’t working properly
  • An infestation that needs specialist treatment

If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Where we work

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

Leave it or put it right?

Old grease hardens and bonds to surfaces. A kitchen deep cleaned regularly is quicker to clean each time and surfaces stay in better condition. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Why Gravel Castle businesses choose us

  • We’re fully insured
  • Each visit written up, with photos
  • One number for every site across the South East and London
  • BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

How it works

The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Gravel Castle.

  1. A pre-clean look round tells us what’s needed.
  2. Areas are protected and equipment is made safe.
  3. We degrease the ceilings, walls and cooking equipment.
  4. Behind and under the equipment is cleaned where it can be moved safely.
  5. The floor is cleaned and the kitchen left ready for service.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Let us know about parking and loading

Advice

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Gravel Castle

Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Gravel Castle and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). The busier the kitchen, the faster grease builds up where nobody wipes every day. Gravel Castle is about 58 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Canterbury City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Gravel Castle. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Kent and Canterbury Hospital about 5.5 miles north-west, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. Historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 3.8 miles north-east) are part of the area around Gravel Castle, and if you run event catering at a venue like that, a deep clean between seasons helps. For schools such as Barham Church of England Primary School, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically booked for the holidays.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

Between visits

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Write down what gets cleaned and when
  • Book deep cleans on a regular cycle
  • Do not let the extract cleaning slip
  • Run the extract whenever the range is on

Floors are clean and dry by the time we’ve finished. Your team can come in and set up as normal when the kitchen opens.

A deep clean ahead of a busy period sets the kitchen up well instead of chasing grime later.
