Commercial kitchen deep cleaning in Gravesend, Kent
Looking for kitchen deep cleaning in Gravesend? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- A kitchen taken over in poor condition
- A floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean
- Food debris that could attract pests
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Kitchen deep cleaning in Gravesend, done properly
For kitchens in Gravesend, we plan deep cleans around service. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the kitchen is ready for the next service. Schools can book during the holidays. The work covers fryers and grills, ranges and ovens and floors and floor drains, and people most often call us about a floor that daily mopping no longer gets clean and a kitchen that needs a clean start.
Kitchens in a town like Gravesend often book a deep clean alongside their extract clean, so the whole kitchen is done in one closure.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Gravesend
Do you work in school kitchens around Gravesend out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 33 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Gravesend. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Gravesend?
Food hygiene inspections in Gravesend are carried out by Gravesham council. How often a business is inspected depends on the council’s risk rating for it, so the kitchen needs to be ready at any time.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you work in Gravesend?
Yes. Gravesend is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you clean the extract at the same time?
Yes, we can. We can plan both on the same visit or over consecutive visits, depending on the size of the job.
What does commercial kitchen deep cleaning 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.
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.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Work in Gravesend is usually booked after closing, early in the morning or on a closed day.
- We look round the kitchen and agree exactly what’s included.
- Equipment is turned off and allowed to cool before anything else happens.
- High surfaces are cleaned first so dirt does not fall on clean areas.
- The equipment, and the floor and walls around it, are degreased and cleaned.
- 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
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- 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
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Common problems we fix in Gravesend
Every service sends grease into the air. Some is caught by the extract, but some settles on walls, ceilings and equipment. Over weeks and months, it builds into a sticky layer.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grime behind and under cooking equipment
- A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
- A new kitchen tenant inheriting a dirty kitchen
- Hardened deposits on kitchen equipment
If you run a care home or healthcare kitchen near Gravesend (the nearest hospital is Gravesham Community Hospital, about 1 mile north-west), a grease trap on a set schedule avoids a blocked drain mid-service.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Gravesend
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Drainage problems beyond the kitchen
- Cracked tiles or damaged wall cladding
- Faults with cooking or refrigeration equipment, which need an engineer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
