Kitchen deep cleaning across Great Berry

Kitchen deep cleaning in Great Berry, done properly

Kitchen deep cleaning covers the whole room, not just the cooking line: walls, floors, ceilings, and the equipment itself. We clean behind and underneath equipment where it can be moved safely as that is where grease and food debris gather. We’re often asked to deal with grease built up on walls and ceilings and a kitchen taken over in poor condition, across behind and under equipment, fryers and grills and ranges and ovens.

In a place like Great Berry, kitchens often sit in older buildings with older drains. Smells and slow drains are the usual warning signs.

We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Why deal with it now?

Grease on walls, ceilings and equipment is fuel close to the cooking. The longer it’s left, the more there is, alongside the grease in the extract. A deep clean takes it away. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.

What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Why book with us

  • Photo reports with every job

Great Berry: your questions answered

Can school kitchens in Great Berry be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Great Berry. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.

Do you cover smaller places like Great Berry?

Yes, Great Berry is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Do you do the kitchen and extract together?

Yes, and many kitchens do. We clean inside the extract system to TR19 while the kitchen around it is deep cleaned.

Do you move heavy equipment to clean behind it?

That’s often where it’s dirtiest, so we reach it wherever it’s safe to do so. We check what can be moved safely at the start.

Which records should we keep?

The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.

What do you clean in a commercial kitchen deep clean?

We clean the whole kitchen from top to bottom. The exact list is agreed when we quote and it’s all in the fixed quote.

Do inspectors look at how clean the whole kitchen is?

Yes, cleanliness of the premises is part of an inspection. We cannot promise a particular rating, but a deep clean puts the kitchen in good condition.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning

The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The times the site is available
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Asking for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • A few general shots of the system
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

If you need kitchen deep cleaning in Great Berry, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.

What kitchen deep cleaning looks like in Great Berry

There are about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 19 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Great Berry, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Grease settles behind fryers, under ranges and on high surfaces in kitchens like these. Kitchens in Great Berry get their food hygiene inspections from Basildon council. An inspection covers the structure of the kitchen as well as the food. Photos and dates from each deep clean make a useful record.

School kitchens, at schools like Great Berry Primary School for example, usually have their deep cleans and grease trap work done while the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basildon University Hospital about 1.9 miles east, deep cleans and grease trap visits are planned so meals still go out. If you serve passing trade near Laindon station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

Great Berry is about 2 miles west of Basildon, in Essex. Great Berry gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Our Essex coverage runs to 644 places, Great Berry among them. We also work in Chelmsford, about 12 miles from Great Berry.

How the job changes from site to site

Floors

Grease builds up along the edges and under equipment. We pay particular attention there.

Cooking equipment

Once the build-up is gone, daily cleaning is easier and looks better to an inspector.

What we do, step by step

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the kitchen. Around Great Berry, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.

  1. We agree the scope of the clean and the time to attend.
  2. Equipment is switched off and allowed to cool.
  3. High-level surfaces, walls and the canopy exterior are cleaned.
  4. Equipment is cleaned, along with the areas behind and under it.
  5. We finish the floors and walk round with you.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

How to get a quote

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Advice

Between visits

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Don’t let debris build up behind the line
  • Wipe splashes before they harden
  • Get cracked tiles and damaged surfaces fixed
  • Don’t wait for an inspection to book a deep clean

Many kitchens book the next deep clean before we leave. A regular cycle means the kitchen never falls far behind between inspections.

A deep clean ahead of a busy period sets the kitchen up well, rather than trying to catch up afterwards.

Honest limits

We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:

  • Pests already in the kitchen
  • Worn or broken surfaces that cleaning cannot restore
  • Grease inside the canopy, plenum and ductwork, which needs a TR19 clean

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
